+1
I also think that the dishwashing could be done by volunteers. For
the cleaning I agree that we should find an other solution (external or
by Le Camp).

For the cleaning I propose to get quotes from Le Camp and from at least
one external service and decide based on the offers. And just to avoid
any wrong impressions. I'm sure that Le Camp won't take away any laptops
even if we do things they don't like.
I really think that organizing this is a detail. It has to be done,
sure, but it's not urgent in any way. I at least for myself won't spend
any time organizing this unless I'm sure that we actually go to Le Camp.
And asking Le Camp for a quote for cleaning after we just told them that
we want to shorten because we really don't have enough money for 2 weeks
will give a bad impression.
