Many people with a busy schedule employ the help of a cleaning person who
may live in the home, or come by to clean it periodically. In
addition to cleaning bathrooms, dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing floors, and
washing windows, some residential housekeepers also do laundry and cook
meals. Over 100,000 public and private schools in the U.S provide
many custodial positions. In addition to cleaning all areas of the
school, custodians often paint walls, cut the grass, de-ice walkways, and
are the first ones called to make minor repairs. Businesses,
government offices, libraries, museums, and churches often need the help
of a cleaning service to perform routine cleaning duties to maintain
order and sanitation. Sanitation is extremely important in
hospitals and doctors' offices where workers may come in contact with
blood and other bodily fluids. In the hotel sector of the
hospitality industry, the housekeeping staff employs maids and
housecleaners. Maids are responsible for stripping and remaking
the beds, vacuuming and dusting, replacing towels and linens, scrubbing
the bathroom, and restocking supplies. Housecleaners clean the
halls, stairs, elevators, lobby, and other public areas.
The opportunities that exist in the cleaning industry are numerous; many individuals end up going into business for themselves, either working alone, or managing employees. The cleaning industry is often overlooked but much needed, and holds opportunities for anyone in good physical condition with the stamina and willingness to work hard.
