After a long workday in the office, a longing for rest and desire to go home develops amongst the employees. Once the out-of-office email replies are turned on, doors are locked, alarms set, the employees start to venture home. Instantly the office becomes dark and quiet. The silence brings a spooky eerie effect in the atmosphere. Spiders come out and dust mites start to linger amongst the facility’s surfaces. A few hours into the dark night, car headlights suddenly appear in the parking lot. It’s a large work van with three people in it. Slowly entering into a parking spot, the patrons of the vehicle get out of the vehicle and begin to open the trunk. They unload the back of their vehicle, including: Vacuums, mop buckets, dusting rags, cleaning chemicals, and more. Keys jingle as they’re pulled out of a pocket. A silence remains until an abrupt alarm rings in the air. The cleaners quickly disarm the alarm and ensure the doors are locked behind them. Following protocol, they turn on all lights and begin to unload their cleaning equipment. The night has begun! Shifting gears, the crew jumps into work mode and begins to attack the dirt, dust, germs, trash, and stains all throughout the building. Each room is meticulously cared for. Dusting, disinfecting, washing, mopping, vacuuming, and more! All steps lead to a beautiful clean facility. Restrooms are sparkling. Floors are glistening. Paper goods replenished. Trash barrels are empties. Countertops are spotless. This place has come ALIVE! After the job is done, the cleaners pack up their tools and materials. Alarming the facility again, exiting back to their car, and off they go. Another evening tale of a nighttime office cleaner.
