The Importance of a Janitor

A janitor plays a crucial role in maintaining cleanliness, safety, and functionality in any space — whether it’s a school, office, building, or public institution. Their work goes far beyond sweeping or mopping; they help ensure hygienic, safe, and pleasant environments for everyone. Janitors directly support public health by preventing the buildup of germs, waste, and allergens. Their efforts also enhance the appearance of the space, extend the life of facilities, and create more productive and respectful environments for everyday use.
