Headline Housekeeping at United Nations Headquarters 
Caption Description A view of the South West Staff Lobby at United Nations Headquarters Secretariat Building.
There are, at United Nations Headquarters, 2,000,000 square feet of flooring to be swept daily, nearly seven miles of carpeting for the vacuum cleaner. The beautiful floor of the Secretariat Building lobby - big black and white checks of terrazzo (made of marble chips) - presents a particular problem. The best way to polish this floor according to Chief Engineering Office, is for people to walk on it. However, despite the steady stream of people, they walk in set paths across it. A sheen has to be produced artificially to avoid a contrast between the paths and untrespassed areas. So the floor is washed nightly with a solution containing 30 percent pure white soap, part of which remains and builds up a sheen. The floors at all the entrance ways of the Headquarters as well as corridors near the elevators banks, are of terrazzo and receives the same special floor treatment.
