The Livmore

Housekeeping

Housekeeping is provided bi-weekly and your scheduled day is listed on your Arrival Letter. We will remove any garbage/recycling, make the beds with fresh linen, replace towels, dust, sweep, vacuum and mop the floors. We will also replenish your supply of bathroom and facial tissue and garbage bags on housekeeping day, throughout your stay.

Our bi-weekly cleaning is intended to help our guests maintain the suite and dish washing, daily garbage/recycling removal and personal laundry are the Guest's responsibility. Please clean spills in the kitchen as they occur. Adjust stove/oven temperatures to prevent spill over. Use the overhead hood fan when cooking. Open a window if cooking heavily aromatic foods. Wash dishes and cookware regularly to avoid food build up and replacement.

Contact Guest Services with any extra or special cleaning requests or concerns. Extra charges will apply if extra time or repairs are needed to return suite to the condition it was in at your arrival.

Deep cleanings will be scheduled for our longer stay guests (3 months or more).

Please note that if you have arrived the day before or are departing the day after a scheduled suite cleaning, your suite will NOT be receiving service.

If you need to wash the above items between housekeeping days, please take care to wash whites with whites only to prevent discolouration and damage.

We also ask that you not use DelSuites linens for cleaning purposes. Any stains or damage to the linens caused by the guest will have charges applied.

Personal Items

We may move items on counter and table tops to allow for proper cleaning. As such, your items may not end up in the exact same spot. If your bathroom has a medicine cabinet or drawers, we would suggest that you place personal toiletries there.

To facilitate linens changes, vacuuming and dusting, please note, Housekeeping will not handle any personal items. If there are too many items or items of a delicate nature, they will not clean the surfaces beneath. Fresh linens will be left behind for you to replace.

Guest Services will reach out to you if there is ever a concern.

Please advise DelSuites if you are using your own linens. We promise to do our best to ensure we do not take your linens when we clean but mistakes can happen.

We may place any food or drink debris in the garbage. If there is a food item you prefer to keep on the counter, such as fruit, please place it in a container or store it in a cupboard on cleaning day, to avoid confusion.

If we are uncertain, we will not touch the items and a member of the Guest Services Team will reach out to you

If you have a specific question about our housekeeping approach, please contact us

Maintenance

We have listed some preventative maintenance items to be aware of in order to avoid damage and extra charges to the suite that could be deemed your responsibility

Climate Control

Heating and air conditioning are switched seasonally by central building equipment. This changeover is pre-scheduled by building maintenance. The individual suite controls will adjust the levels of heating and cooling, but will not allow a change from heating to air conditioning or vice versa. Notices will be posted in the building advising of changeovers.

The recommended temperature settings are a minimum of 65 degrees for cooling and a maximum of 75 degrees for heating. Thermostats are to be set to AUTO. If the fan runs continuously on a lowered setting, there is a risk of freezing in the coils. It can cost upwards of $1500 for repair. Please keep the windows and doors closed when operating the unit. The units are maintained and serviced seasonally by the Building Corporation. If you have any problems with your heat or A/C, please contact Guest Services

Appliances

Do not leave the stove unattended when cooking. Clean spills as they happen. Do not leave the suite when the dishwasher or washing machine is in operation. Watch for and report any leaks immediately. Use the appropriate soap for the dishwasher and washing machines. Using the incorrect soap can cause the machines to overflow and leak as well as costly service calls.

Garbage and Recycling

Housekeeping will remove the garbage and recycling on your scheduled cleaning day. To facilitate proper cleaning, maintain the freshness of your suite and to prevent insect activity, we ask for your cooperation in removing your garbage and recycling regularly throughout the week. The Garbage/Recycling Chutes are conveniently located on each floor. To dispose of larger items, the Garbage and Recycle area is located on the P1M level. Extra costs may be incurred if excessive amounts of garbage or recycling are left for Housekeeping to dispose of.

Water

Do not let water accumulate or sit on the floor. Water can cause damage very quickly. Clean any water spills immediately. If you have a leak, report it immediately to Guest Services. Keep the shower curtain inside the bathtub during a shower and leave it there until it has completely dried. There are NO floor drains in the bathrooms. There is a bath mat on the side of the tub to stand on after stepping out of the tub.

Toilet Issues

When flushing the toilet, hold the handle of the toilet long enough to completely clear the bowl. Please be mindful of the amount of toilet tissue used. If the toilet is clogged, use the plunger. It is placed beside the toilet in the main bathroom of each suite. If the water level continues to rise, turn the water supply OFF immediately and place towels on the floor to absorb any water that flows over. The water supply valves are located behind the toilet. In most cases, using the plunger will clear blockages. If you continue to have problems, contact Guest Services immediately. Charges may be incurred if a plumber is called and the issue was a result of guest mis-use or carelessness.
