Do the cleaners speak English?
PostedOctober 27, 2025
UpdatedOctober 27, 2025
ByPaul Dumas
Our cleaners are predominately Hispanic and speak Spanish. English is a second language for them and therefore, your cleaners are not fluent in English and have limited communication skills. The cleaners are trained to use Google translate on their phones or you can simply contact the office to assist with any translation or communication issues.
