cleaning staff

Tidying service workers

Cleaning staff are the workers responsible for maintaining cleanliness in buildings—offices, hotels, hospitals, schools.

The term is deliberately neutral, covering janitors, custodians, housekeepers, and maids without the class connotations some of those words carry.

The cleaning staff comes in after hours.

Often used as a singular collective: Has the cleaning staff been notified?
