Most years, the church has a spring cleaning. We pull out 
the chairs, vacuum the carpets, and so on. Wash the windows, 
wipe the walls, rake the grass, scrub the baptismal font.

This year, I'm expecting to be asked to help lead the 
efforts. What are some church cleaning things that are often 
forgotten? I'd like to make a sort of Biblical or Book of 
Mormon theme.

Thinking to make everyone a shephard of the building. Not 
that we'll move in a flock of sheep. But, that we can all be 
caretakers. I was thinking to make a couple shephards 
crooks, and put dusting pads on the curves, so people can 
use the crooks to dust the tops of door frames, etc.

Any other cute or catchy ideas?

I find that if any public facility or restaurant is immaculately
clean; but when you walk in the bathroom there is even the slightest
odor or urine on floor, etc., then all bets are off everywhere else.
An investment in the bathrooms pays off the biggest, any little signs,
gadgets, fans, repainting, etc. added in there is money well spent.

How does church cleaning vary from just normal cleaning?

If you want "clean", find a member of the flock who is a former Drill
Instructor and tell them you want to conduct a "G.I. Party".

Crickets in the window washing solution?

I've heard they leave a streak-free transparency that has to be not
seen to be believed.

You know more about the Mormon traditions than we -

* Dusters made of (claimed) seagull feathers?
* Wide-brimmed hats and suspenders for the gents and white aprons for the 
ladies? 

I can't remember if we've got the spinning fan stink 
neutralizers, or vent fans, or what. But, that's a good 
idea. See if we can find someone to scrub the floor around 
the toilets, cut down on the trace "eau de pee".

Only if I ask "Do Mormons do buildings?".

There's a couple good ideas. I had been thinking "sock it to 
me". Buy a bunch of white socks, and use them for cleaning. 
Spray wood polish on the white sock. That kind of thing.

Ah, well. Something will come to mind.
