The church is a home away from home. A clean church eliminates distraction, keeping the focus on beautiful surroundings, worship and prayer.

- Post or communicate cleaning care directions to visitors “Sweep/vacuum floor after each use.”
- Have carpet professionally cleaned and stone professionally buffed as needed
- Wipe touch points such as pews, statues, confessionals, banisters and handles
Be sure to give the following areas special attention to make the entire building shine while reducing the spread of germs:
