Janitor Phoenix
Question. Phoenix, AZ - My father has been a janitor at a hospital for 32 years. He’s very proud of his profession and he takes his responsibilities very seriously. However, the hospital recently changed his title to Environmental Services Technician and Dad says he’s going to resign. He says it sounds like he’s joined Greenpeace or the Sierra Club or some other group he thinks is radical. Dad’s not too flexible and still thinks George W. was a good president. Do you have any recommendations?
Answer. No. I think larger companies hire special people just to think up fancy names for simple things. Back in Bavaria we now call sauerkraut “engineered stinky cabbage”. Just kidding. I don’t know why we make things so messy. Suggest to your Dad that he ask for a raise. Certainly Environmental Services Technicians should earn more than janitorial personnel.

It’s a sad thing to be clueless. Even while The Clueless Cleaner believes that cleaning can be fun and hopes to provide a bit of entertainment, Professor Q hopes that his research might point some folks in the right direction in terms of solving perplexing cleaning issues.
Here’s what you need to know. Other than being fictitious, Professor Q is just like you and me: Fallible! He knows nothing about cleaning! Out of the goodness of his heart he’ll look it up when someone has a truly clueless inquiry. He has dozens of reference books and of course the Internet. But he has not checked out these solutions personally and as far as he knows the experts he researches might be just as clueless as the rest of us. Probably not, but who knows?
So do your own due diligence before proceeding with any cleaning solution. Just one more slight word of caution. The Professor has noticed that a lot of these cleaning experts say the same thing over and over again, doubtlessly to cover their own tails. They say, “any one trying a cleaning solution should test it in an inconspicuous place–whether you are cleaning your silk blouse, your carpet or your driveway. Find an out of the way spot to make sure the cleaning solution doesn’t cause more problems than it cures.”
