Residents may be present during Scope A cleaning procedures.

1. Cleaning of Common Spaces Common spaces including hallways, stairways and the interior of elevator cars shall be cleaned, if requested by the building owner. The Monitoring Contractor in consultation with EPA, or EPA's designee will evaluate and determine if other common areas including utility rooms, laundry rooms, compactor rooms, elevator shafts require cleaning. Work will begin from the entrance and continue through all common spaces in an orderly fashion. A detailed description of the minimum cleaning requirements for common space is as follows: a. Vacuuming will begin with the ceiling, continue down the walls and include floors. A vacuum equipped with a motorized agitator bar will be used to vacuum carpets. b. Impermeable walls and floors will be wet wiped, after consultation with and approval by owner. Wet wiping will not be conducted if it is determined that it would cause damage to the surface. c.
