Building Cleaning Workers, All Other
Building and Grounds Cleaning and Maintenance
Restrooms get cleaned and sanitized; trash is emptied and taken out. Floors are swept, mopped, or vacuumed, and furniture and fixtures are dusted and polished. Supplies in restrooms and other areas are restocked when they run low. The same general cleaning can cover whatever indoor space needs it that day. This tends to suit people who like straightforward physical cleaning and a short, repeating list of duties.
