Housekeeping Policy. Mercy House understands and commits to maintaining hygienic, sanitary environments for the well‐ being of clients, volunteers and staff. We will maintain written, standardized housekeeping procedures. Each procedure will be designed for safety of staff and clients and for a consistent, high standard of housekeeping. Staff will be provided with training in these procedures, will be monitored in performance of the procedures, and evaluated in their effective use of them. Training may include education on any hazardous materials with which staff may come into contact when carrying out their assigned work tasks. The complete list of procedures will be included in a Shelter Policy and Procedures Manual and made available to all employees. Outside janitorial staff will be contracted to assist in the maintenance and cleaning of the facility. Thorough daily cleaning of all client areas including living quarters, dining areas, and common areas will be done using institution strength anti‐bacterial products. Bathrooms, showers, and eating areas will be given priority attention. The dining areas will be cleaned according to strict health standards after each meal. Office space will be cleaned weekly by the contracted janitorial staff and as needed by Shelter staff and partner organizations using the space. To prevent cross‐contamination, clients will be required to store personal toiletries in plastic sealable bags on their beds when not in use. Clients will be assigned a set of linens at intake for their use while in the shelter. The client will be responsible for making and maintaining their bed each morning.

Housekeeping Policy. Many dogs experience fecal as well as urinary incontinence as they age. Puppies also go through a difficult learning period before they become better at their potty habits. Some pets also become excessively dirty in a boarding situation even though they may not experience the same behavior at home. We anticipate suite cleaning under normal conditions, but there are times when both the room and belongings (such as beds, blankets, toys, etc.) may need excessive cleaning due to the potty habits of some dogs. Multiple cleanings of rooms and multiple washings of belongings are mandatory to reduce kennel odors and to keep your Pet clean and sanitary. With this extra housekeeping, there will be an additional room charge of $5.00 per day. This charge will help cover the cost of chemicals, time, and laundry products and disinfectants used throughout the day.
