Cleaner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the fictional criminal role, see Cleaner (crime).

A cleaner is a type of industrial, or domestic worker who cleans homes, or offices for payment. Unlike servants, their primary task is cleaning, except by personal arrangement.

Cleaners may also be specialised according to the type of task they perform, such as window cleaners.

The 2000 movie Bread and Roses by British director Ken Loach depicted the struggle of cleaners in Los Angeles to fight for better pay, and working conditions, and the right to join a union.

A cleaner is also a slang term for an individual (usually a member of a crime organization or a convert government agency) who disposes of a corpse after a hit. Interestingly, actor Harvey Keitel has played such a character in two movies: Pulp Fiction and Point of No Return.
