6) Microwave

  • cleaning schedule
    • Nicole has had to clean it once already, but overall it’s been pretty clean
    • We can have a schedule on when to check on it to make sure it’s not dirty
  • we can keep the instructions in the cleaning supplies box so people can have access to it if they need to
  • maybe change the table cloth to a plastic one so it’s easier to clean
