Behind the scenes: Cleaning the UK's favourite tourist attractions

Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and Legoland are three of the most popular tourist attractions in
the UK. In today's 'behind the scenes' article, w e look at the people who have to keep these
famous places clean and tidy.

Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace is the official London home of the Queen of England. It employs more than 800 members
of staff, from cleaners to gardeners, secretaries and chefs. The cleaners have to clean 775 rooms in the palace,
including seventy-eight bathrooms, and they have to clean 760 windows every six weeks. There are also 77,000 m2
of floor to clean and vacuum!

Big Ben
The Big Ben clock tower has got four glass clock faces. Each face has got 312 pieces of glass and is 7 m in diameter.
Every five years, specialist cleaners clean the clock faces. The clock faces are 66 m above the ground and they use
ropes. Paul Harrison and Dave King dont have to clean any floors but they have to climb 334 steps to reach the top
of the tower, and then they have to abseil down to the clock face. 'You should always use special safety equipment,'
says Harrison. 'And you shouldn't look down!'

Legoland
Every year at Legoland, Windsor, the staff have to clean Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and many other famous
tourist attractions. But they dont have to use ropes because the buildings are all models, one-twentieth of the
size of the real tourist attractions. In total there are 80 million Lego bricks at Legoland. The whole job takes two
days and staff have to use toothbrushes for the smallest models.
