To start this page off I've added initial headings. Feel free to add random thoughts, half-baked ideas, whatever. While editing, a line starting with an asterisk will be rendered as a bullet point.

==Organisation and general points==
Should we split any of the sections up, for example, cleaning situations into classes of device? When we've got a decent list the answer might be clearer. --[[User:Philip|Philip]] ([[User talk:Philip|talk]]) 09:56, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
