cleaner-upper
One who straightens
A cleaner-upper is someone who cleans up—whether tidying a physical space, fixing someone else's mess, or handling aftermath: She's always the cleaner-upper after his disasters.
The playful double suffix emphasizes the role rather than the act, often suggesting someone habitually stuck with the task.
