Their duties typically include cleaning floors, restrooms, and common areas, restocking supplies, emptying trash, and responding to immediate maintenance or cleaning needs.

Familiarity with cleaning equipment, chemical safety data sheets (SDS), and sometimes OSHA certification is typically required. Reliability, attention to detail, and strong communication skills help ensure a clean and safe environment while interacting with staff and visitors. These abilities are crucial for maintaining facility hygiene, preventing hazards, and supporting smooth daily operations.
