4.) Downstairs Hall Swept .

Supply Storage : 

Behind the energy drink nobori in the Head to Head Room is where all the overstock of paper towels , plates , bowls , plastic cutlery and cups are located . The broom and dust pan and trash bags can also be found here . 

   

Enough cups , napkins , and paper towels should be placed out next to the water tank here .

   

Water Tank :

This tank is emptied after every night , and 30 minutes before opening should be rinsed in the shower with the detachable shower head . Then filled using the bath tub main tap . Ice Cubes can be found in the upstairs refrigerator in 2 flat trays . These should be added directly after the water is filled and the tank is placed back on it's shelf . This is optimal timing for cooling and keeps the water ice cold for the entire night .
