Spanish for Maids and Housekeepers

Janitors, maids, housekeeping cleaners, window washers, and rug shampooers—keep office buildings, hospitals, stores, apartment houses, hotels, and residences clean, sanitary, and in good condition. Some do only cleaning, while others have a wide range of duties. Because no special education is required for most janitorial or cleaning jobs, it is a common job for new immigrant or temporary foreign workers.

This very large occupation requires few skills to enter and has one of the largest numbers of job openings of any occupation each year. Most job openings result from the need to replace the many workers who leave these jobs because of their limited opportunities for training or advancement, low pay, and high incidence of only part-time or temporary work.

Most building cleaners learn their skills on the job. On this website, we will teach you how to train and speak with Spanish speaking cleaning staff.
