Adams Memorial Opera House
Renter Cleaning Checklist

NOTE: We rely on all renters to clean the facility after each use, following this checklist, as one means of keeping rental costs low. We don't have daily custodial service to do this work for us (or for you). Improper cleaning will result in forfeiture of your damage and cleaning deposit.

1.) Pick up paper, trash, debris, drink bottles, etc. (See Item 8.)

2.) Sweep all the stairs (lobby stairs, balcony stairs and back green room stairs) and the balcony floor-tiers with a straight broom. Pick up sweepings with a dust-pan and broom.

3.) Vacuum all bare-wood floors (Opera House, Upper Lobby, Stage, Green Room) and vinyl tile floors (Concession Area, Dressing Rooms), using the orange Shop-Vac, 21-foot hose and floor-head (with bristles).

4.) Vacuum all carpeted floors (Lower Lobby, Stage Door entry way) with the Orek upright vacuum.

5.) Clean any drink spills (sticky-spots) with paper towels (or sponge) and warm water. For more extensive spills, use the Swiffer Wet Spray mop.

6.) Clean the dressing room counter-tops with spray cleaner. Remove all make-up stains.

7.) Clean any make-up stains on the Dressing Room floors using spray cleaner.

8.) Separate recyclables (plastic bottles, metal cans, cardboard) from the trash. (NOTE: This is easier to do before, rather than after!) Empty any remaining liquid contents into the custodian's sink. Recycling is mandatory in Derry, by Town Ordinance.

9.) Remove all trash to the dumpster, located inside the white fence attached to the rear of the building. Do NOT use the dumpster in the parking lot that belongs to the apartment buildings. Place any bottles and cans in a separate recycling container near the dumpster. Take any cardboard home with you. Take any construction debris, furniture, and such home with you.

10.) Replace the plastic liners (trash bags) in all the trash barrels and wastepaper baskets.

11.) Upon load-out,  remove all props, set construction materials, paint, make-up, costume hangers, and other production materials from the premises.  Look in all the corners back stage and in the custodial closet for anything you may have left behind.

12.) Upon load-out, remove all spike tape from the stage, as well as any screws you might have driven into the stage, flats, or other back stage woodwork.

Thank you, so much, for helping to keep the Opera House neat and clean for the next renter, just as you would expect to find it when you load-in.
