custodial duties

Building upkeep tasks

Custodial duties are the tasks involved in maintaining and cleaning a building or facility—sweeping, mopping, emptying trash, restocking supplies.

The term appears in job descriptions and workplace contexts: The position includes light custodial duties.

In legal contexts, custodial duties may instead refer to responsibilities of a guardian or trustee toward someone in their care.
