Subject: Request to keep the office clean

All Employees,

Recently, the janitor has reported that the office has been really dirty.
The staff break room has been especially messy. There was trash on the floor and table. The tables were dirty.

Please clean up after yourself and help maintain a clean environment for the next person. Please throw away all your trash in the correct bins. Also wipe down the table after use. After your work day please make sure that your table is organized before you leave. If there are any spills, please get a mop and clean them up.

A clean working environment is a happy working environment. Have a nice day and thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
Management
