Cleaning or blessing for all cleaners

When people come in a hotel, the first thing they do is, I guess, checking their room. Is this room clean enough for comfortable stay? We are not talking about a luxury hotel that has a spotless and cozy facility requiring more than 20,000 yen per stay. Here we are talking about a business hotel requiring less than 8,000 yen per stay. So you can't expect a spotless facility. But still, clean linens and basic amenities promise comfortableness.

 

But how about if there is a hair on a bath floor? How about if corner dust remains untouched? How about tiny mold on the shower curtain? 

Cleaners who work at a minimum wage are responsible for all of them.

What motivates them?

Two things come to my mind. One is that cleaning itself (clearing a mess and keeping things as they should be kept) is valuable. The other is that cleaners have pride and are content doing their job. The latter mind can't build without maturity.
