Maintaining cleanliness is extremely important in Tavern Keeper. If you let too much dirt accumulate, your patrons, as well as your skilled workers, might leave the tavern. This guide details all the tips and tricks to maintain an optimum level of cleanliness.
How to keep the Tavern Clean
One of the key ways to maintain cleanliness in Tavern Keeper is to hire an expensive, skilled Janitor. However, this solution won’t suffice once your Tavern grows in size. To keep your space clean and tidy, utilize the following tricks:
Optimize your Tavern layout
Optimize your tavern layout so that the janitors can get to every nook and cranny to clean. Janitors will only clean rooms designated as Hallways. If you have any empty rooms or Foundations, turn them into Hallways so janitors will clean the tiles in those spaces.
Hire additional Janitors
Your primary, high-rated Janitor should keep working during the opening or operating hours. However, to ease the load, hire a second, somewhat cheaper janitor (someone who costs around 6-10 Gold a day) to work the nights. Schedule this worker to clean the place when there are no other workers or patrons around.
Use Welcome Mats
Place a Welcome Mat at every entry so that every patron walking in will have to wipe their feet on the mat, which will remove a large portion of dirt from their shoes. Although less effective, Welcome mats also cost less than hiring another janitor.
Polish the floors
Polishing your floors is yet another way to keep your place dust-free. Freshly polished floors attract less dirt, making the workload of your primary janitor much lighter. Distribute the workload between your janitors so that they can periodically polish the floors.
Inspect all areas regularly
Keep inspecting all of the rooms in your Tavern regularly to ensure there are no spots with an overwhelming amount of dirt. Manually redirect your janitor to clean certain messes left by rowdy patrons (or unhappy employees) before they become problematic.
FAQs
What are the best strategies to maintain cleanliness in Tavern Keeper?
Placing welcome mats at every entrance and hiring multiple Janitors are the best strategies to ensure you have squeaky clean floors. Furthermore, you should also periodically check all floors and rooms manually to isolate problem areas where a lot of messes are made.
What happens if the Tavern floors get too dirty?
A dirty tavern floor will lead to your patrons getting cranky. Furthermore, dirty floors are also a fire hazard, so keeping your floors clean just might save your place from getting burned to the ground. All your patrons, as well as your skilled workers (who have a prerequisite condition that they will only work in clean premises), might flee if the floors are too dirty.
How to choose a primary janitor?
Choose a janitor who has a skill bonus for cleaning. For example, some janitorial candidates will have a skill bonus like ‘Cleans to a polish.’ They will make a better primary janitor, as polished floors and furniture attract less dirt. We recommend that you use a Generalist employee as a secondary janitor, while keeping more qualified candidates with better skills and traits for the primary janitor.
The janitor is not cleaning a part of the Tavern. What should I do?
Check if you have marked the area as an Empty Room or Foundation. Convert them into Hallways to then have the Janitor clean that area.
