> ℹ️ All cleaning events are recorded to the **Cleaning log**. The log contains details on each event (such as room, time and user) and it can be used e.g. to track the work of external cleaning staff.

## Using Cleaning log

> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ - Enters a room to start cleaning (checks the `Start cleaning` box in a room field in the `Cleaning` window).
> ℹ️ - Marks the room cleaned (clicks on `Clean`).
> ℹ️ - Leaves the room without finishing cleaning (unchecks the `Start cleaning` box).
