Thank you Becky,
Could you share your list of approved supplies? Currently I am the only 
employee and for the new museum there is only one other person in the 
plans...I don't know if I alone could clean a 1600 square foot building plus 
be the registrar. I sure will not let the cleaners into my work space or 
storage.
