Cleaning Guidelines.

This is a shared space with no cleaning staff, and while I will hire a professional to clean a few times a year, it is our responsibility to maintain a healthy level of cleanliness so that we can all enjoy the space.  

Rule of Thumb: Leave it Cleaner than you Found it.

Although I will make an effort to check on the building and its cleanliness, I will not be able to guarantee that I have done this before your event.  So, please keep the place clean for each other and come early to make sure it is up to your standards.

If you do not wish to clean up after your event yourself, contact Carrie Fortier: 509-637-4812.

The Basics

  1. Clean your Surfaces (floors, tables, counters).

  2. Sanitize Door Handles.

  3. Clean the Toilet/Bathroom.

  4. Put dirty cleaning rags in dirty bin.

  5. Haul away your garbage and put garbage bins upside down where you found them.

  6. NOTIFY IF ANY SUPPLIES ARE LOW or for any reason.

Accidents/ Damages

Shared Responsibility for the Space

This is our shared space, and we all play a role in making it what it is. Accidents happen — that’s okay. What matters is how we show up afterward: by taking responsibility, communicating clearly, and addressing issues rather than ignoring them.

Cleaning & Damage

  • If cleaning was not completed adequately, or if there is damage beyond normal wear and tear, please let us know as soon as possible by calling or emailing admin@missing-corner.com.

  • If we notice an issue, we will reach out to follow up and determine next steps.

  • In some cases, you may be asked to cover the cost of repairs and/or additional cleaning.

If You Encounter an Issue Left by a Previous User

  • Please take photos and notify us of the issue, or resolve it directly with the previous user if appropriate.

  • If you are unable to reach me in a timely manner, you may contact Carrie Fortier to handle cleaning at 509-637-4812.

Compensation for Extra Cleaning

  • If you end up doing cleaning beyond routine maintenance and would like compensation for your time, please email me.

  • Include before-and-after photos so we can document the work.

Thank you for helping us care for this space and for communicating openly when things come up.
