City to Renew Cleaning Contract at Qualcomm Stadium
Dear Justwondering, I have just spent a day cleaning a football stadium in the UK prior to our convention next week. It also is supposedly cleaned by contract services. I know this was the case at the MEN arena in Manchester and is similar in America. When we clean convention centres we first have to create a team that goes round and collects the more dangerous paraphernalia left by drug takers such as needles and wraps that are secreted about the facilties usually from music gigs. Then we get thousands of volunteers from the congregations that go to that convention in the district. It takes us 1- days of cleaning with thousands of people. Can you imagine how much that would cost to have cleaned? Usually the places have only had cursory cleaning on contract, picking up litter. The grease, gum, cigarette ends, other dubious fluids however are often left. You should have seens the pounds of gum we scraped of the stadium this weekend so people don't have to sit in it, walk in it etc. I suppose the answer the answer to your question from experience is that we clean the stadia with our God in mind, doing it thoroughly and thinking of our brothers and sisters who will sit in and use the stadium over 3 days. A contractor may be tempted to maximise profit by doing as little as possible for the most money. There is no way you could have a proper clean by thousands of people after every game or music gig.— July 9, 2012 3:15 a.m.
