Later this year, the church is having a "deep cleaning"
project. I went to the one last year. Couple guys pushing a
vacuum cleaner, and several crews of people washing windows.
The carpets all got vacuumed several times, and the windows
got wiped several times.

Ideally, I'd like to have a list of church cleaning list of
things to do. Things which are useful, and actually make the
building and grounds cleaner. A google search provided a
bunch of calendar dates for other churches cleaning days.
But no good old fashioned task list.

What do you all suggest?

Wash all of the toys in the playroom to get the lead off of them.

If it's over 10 years old, then replace your smoke detectors.

Rake the mulch away from the siding to keep out ants, etc.

Clean the heating/cooling ducts.

If you use a baptismal or such, get the gunk out of it.

Polish the brass, including door hardware.

Check for burned out light bulbs. Readjust them if they are off.

Give the sound system the once-over to make sure it's balanced, etc.
Clean the mikes.

Seal any cracks in the driveway.

Come over to my house and seal the cracks there, too.

Touch up painting if there are aisles on the side and people rub on
the walls.

Put Stick-um in the bottom of the collection basket.

Wash all vestments and linens, if applicable.

Wash the OUTSIDE of the windows.

Check the insulation in your ceiling. Make sure it's okay. Check for
leaks in the attic while you're there.

Clean the gutters.

Wash your sign out front and make it inviting.

Clean the over, if you have one.

Replace lights with CFLs.

Check filters in HVAC. Clean coils.

Touch up paint.

Replace your old thermostat with a new, programmable one.

Test your alarms.

Edge the driveway.

Test the PA system part for hearing impaired and make sure it's
working.

Check inspection dates on fire extinguishers.

Grease the elbows on big contributors.

Create a punch list that memorializes all of the things that need to
be done so that you become the most hated person in the congregation.
Then send it to other congregations to make it an "official"
list. ;-)



Okay, there are probably more but that'll keep you busy for a while.
