As a Day Porter, your responsibilities will encompass comprehensive interior cleaning duties such as emptying waste receptacles, removing debris and trash, vacuuming and shampooing floors and carpets, dusting and cleaning furniture, restocking restrooms, washing walls, polishing and mopping floors, handling mats and runners during inclement weather, spill cleanup, and window and window covering cleaning.
