After a semester of infrequent and unpredictable cleanings, bathrooms are finally looking presentable in Leverett House--but the dirty work is not being done by Dorm Crew.
Instead, the House has enlisted the services of UNICCO--a nationwide maintenance and janitorial company--to supplement Dorm Crew in its F and G towers. Leverett's two Dorm Crew workers will continue to clean bathrooms in McKinlock Hall.
UNICCO began its work in Leverett on Dec. 21.
An e-mail from House Master Howard Georgi informed residents of the new service.
Leverett resident Melissa B. Coffey '01, said that after UNICCO began cleaning bathrooms, "most people noticed a big difference."
She said that she has no problem with the use of an outside cleaning service. "It's fine, I guess, as long as someone's cleaning the bathrooms."
With UNICCO, Leverett residents can expect to have their bathrooms cleaned regularly--at least once a week.
The four non-Harvard workers will clean F tower every Tuesday and G tower every Wednesday.
