Becky,
Would you be willing to share the list? The volunteer housekeepers at our
historic house have done their best to research and use the 'right' products
or solutions, but are always anxious to learn what is used in museums that
have professional curatorial guidance.

I believe you are on the mark. Our collections department cleans
storage area, maintenance department clean the restrooms, office spaces
and vacuum walking areas of our historic houses, but not near any
artifacts. We have a list of approved cleaning products with extensive
notes as to where and when they can be used.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Cleaning supplies
Hello Fellow Museum-L members,
I have been lucky so far in keeping Pest control from spraying bug
killer in
our former director's office where collections are stored. I have also
kept
the facilities department at bay from cleaning our museum's floor with a
heavy duty floor cleaner and a buffer machine. Their question to me for
our
current museum and for our new building that is currently being built,
what
type of cleaner should be used near collections? Cleaners for the floor,
windows, bathroom, offices, and any other space that facilities might be
cleaning? (I am trying to convince them that I will clean our storage
rooms.)Am I being super sensitive or am I doing the right thing?
So the question is what type of cleaners do other museums use to clean
their
buildings?
Thank you for your answers.
Marielle
