  4. Wipe down all work station tables with disinfecting wipes.
  5. Erase the daily schedule dry erase board.
  6. Straigthen up the kid waiting area (put things away, tidy up, etc).
  7. If this is the last shift of the week:
    • Plug in the iPad mini (clock-in iPad) to charge for next week.
    • Wipe down the keyboards and mice.
    • Tidy kitchen area (clean out fridge, empty coffee pods, refill water in coffee maker, wipe down area).
    • Erase all the whiteboards (take a picture and post to lab-general if you are worried about erasing someone’s work!).
      • Do not use clorox wipes on whiteboards, it takes off the finish (only use the designated erasers or the Expo whiteboard cleaning spray).
    • Submit your weekly hours on Workday (guide).
  8. Take a picture of the main lab space and upload it to the #lab-general slack channel letting the team know you closed down for the night.
