A janitor (American English), (Scottish English) janitress (female), custodian "cleaner" or caretaker is a person who cleans and maintains buildings such as hospitals, schools and residential accommodation. Janitors' primary responsibility is as a cleaner. In some cases they will also carry out maintenance and security duties. A similar position, but usually with more managerial duties and not including cleaning, is occupied by building superintendents in the United States. Cleaning is one of the most commonly outsourced services. == Occupational tasks == Most of the work performed by janitors and building cleaners is indoors, sometimes it can be outdoors. Outdoors work mainly include sweeping walkways, mowing lawns, or shoveling snow. In some facilities or buildings, a separate company may be hired to do outdoor work. Office buildings are usually cleaned while they are empty, so most of the office janitorial workers work during evening. The work can be physically demanding and sometimes dirty and unpleasant.〔http://www.bls.gov/ooh/building-and-grounds-cleaning/janitors-and-building-cleaners.htm〕 General janitor duties often include the following tasks: * Cleaning and restocking bathrooms * * Sinks * * Toilets * * Urinals * * Floor cleaning, refinishing, and polishing (sweeping, mopping, scrubbing and buffing) * * Clearing garbage bins * * Restocking restroom paper products and other supplies such as feminine products and air fresheners * * Cleaning mirrors * Cleaning floors (mopping, sweeping, polishing) * Carpet cleaning (dry method, extraction, steam and bonnet) * Cleaning (vacuuming) carpeting * Cleaning stainless steel and other special surfaces * Clearing lunch room/kitchen * Cleaning tables in cubicles, meeting rooms, etc... * Emptying trash and recycling bin * Unlocking and locking buildings at the beginning and end of the day * Stripping and waxing floors using Floor buffer * Cleaning air-conditioner vents * Crime scene cleaning (requires being fully certified and pay scale starts from $300.00 to $700.00+ an hour〔Crime Scene Cleanup Certification Pays: Deverpost News by Don Morreale, July 6, 2012 ()〕〔Facts about Crime Scene Cleaners! by Documents & Resources for Small Business Professionals DOCSTOC News Source, Fed 12, 2013 ()〕) * Litter picking * Spot cleaning (generally spills - coffee for instance) * Sanitization * Room setups (college/schools, etc.) * Porterage (internal deliveries; movement of equipment or people in hospitals) * Removing vomit and feces from public areas 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Janitor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
