       12.4.12.  Cleaning

  Cleaning is an essential part of protecting the building fabric and the furniture and the frequency is central to maintaining the integrity of the values. The choice of cleaning materials, agents and techniques is very important as this can dictate whether the process is protecting or harming the materials.

  In the case of extraordinary circumstances (such as a pandemic), where additional cleaning is deemed necessary, approved actions related to the frequency and method of cleaning will be developed by Old Parliament House staff. Staff will seek conservation advice and ensure methods are developed in accordance with the relevant requirements, such as the Safe Work Australia guidelines.

  Opportunities: To maintain the heritage fabric through good housekeeping.

  Risks: To damage heritage fabric through inappropriate cleaning techniques or through neglect.
