[Noisebridge-discuss] FW: Invoice for cleaning, equipment cost-effectiveness

[Mitch Altman]

Here's the latest word from our cleaning person, Gina (please see below).  She recommends some specific cleaning for between the times she comes.  If you (yeah, you) have a few mintues to vacuum while compiling or while taking a break, that'd be super cool.
 
Cheers,
Mitch.
