History
↓↓
The role of cleaning workers has existed since ancient times, whenever human settlements began to grow.
In ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Rome, there were workers responsible for maintaining cleanliness in public baths, streets, and buildings.
During the Middle Ages, cleaning was often done by servants or laborers assigned to castles, churches, and public places.
The modern concept of janitors or custodians emerged with the growth of cities, public buildings, and schools during the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries.
In many cultures, sanitation workers play an essential role in public health by keeping environments clean and reducing the spread of disease.
Today, sanitation workers, cleaners, and janitors are vital in homes, schools, hospitals, offices, and public facilities around the world. The profession continues to evolve with new cleaning technologies and environmental standards.
