CLEAN UP INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUYAMUNGUE INSTITUTE WORKSHOPS

Thank you for hosting your workshop here at The Cuyamungue Institute. The facilities must be left ready for the next event. A $200 cleaning fee deposit is collected beforehand. This covers the cost of the cleaning crew. You have the option of cleaning all the buildings yourself, in which case the deposit will be returned to you in full or in part. 

Hummingbird Feeders: During your stay, please keep the feeders well stocked with a mixture of 4:1 Water:Sugar. Use the purified water and scrub the inside of the feeder bottles thoroughly with small scrubbing tool set hanging in kitchen. Keep the moats filled to avoid ants invading.
Water: As you replace the five gallon jugs on the water dispensers, wipe down the upper part of the jug to prevent dust from entering the cistern. Instruct students that ice, water, coffee and tea without sugar or salt may be given to the aloe vera plants rather than poured down the drains. (Some add a pinch of salt to water to restore electrolytes) 

Pests: Instruct students that doors and/or screen doors must be closed at all times to prevent entry of snakes, scorpions, flies and other pests. All food must be stored in the kitchen and not in the other buildings. Do not leave food out on counters as ants will find it, and they are hard to get rid of. Daily, during the workshop, the dining tables should be wiped down and floors under them swept to prevent build-up of crumbs that will attract ants. As you clean up, be watchful for pests.
