The unsung warrior who fights entropy daily and always, eventually, loses.
means A person whose job is to clean homes, offices, or other spaces, or a substance or device used to remove dirt.
from From 'clean,' which descends from Old English 'clǣne' meaning pure, clear, or unencumbered — a word with Germanic cousins like Old High German 'kleini' (which oddly drifted toward meaning 'small' or 'fine' in German). The '-er' suffix is the old workhorse ending that turns a deed into a doer: one who cleans becomes a cleaner, just as one who bakes becomes a baker.
