Got called to a hotel in Memphis where someone dropped a whole bucket of fried chicken down the shaft
Grease got into the guide rails and we spent 4 hours cleaning it out with solvent and rags. Anyone dealt with food in the hoistway before?

A whole bucket... how does that even happen. The cleanup sounds like a total nightmare, four hours is forever. I can't imagine the smell in that shaft after a while. Grease on the guide rails is just about the worst thing you could get in there.

The bucket probably fell off a service cart on the top floor, that's how it happens. Honestly, @clark.claire, four hours isn't that long for a full shaft cleanup if the crew knows what they're doing. The smell would be bad but it's a contained space they can air out. Grease on the rails is a pain but it's not the absolute worst, at least it's not corrosive acid or something that eats through the metal. They have solvents for that. Sometimes these things just happen in a building.
