What Is "A Cleaner" In Business?

If you heard it in a movie, like Pulp Fiction, they were talking about someone who cleans up crime scenes.

If you heard it in real life they were talking about the fastest growing career field in the U S, commercial ceaning.

Hehehe, this is where I got this.

"A specialized person who removes incriminating evidence from a
crimescene (usually one involving murder) in order to make the legal
consequences of the crime go away.


Cleaners will get rid of evidence like bodies, blood, weapons,
fingerprints, and even witnesses in order to hide the proof or notion
of the crime -- or, they will 'dress up' the crimescene to mislead
authorities. For example, they could make it appear like a break-in
gone bad, an act of self defense, a fire, etc."

another definition of a cleaner

"Usually called upon to clean up a mess another mobster has made. For
instance: A gangster robs a store one night and comes back to base with
a bullet in his stomach. A cleaner is quickly called-up and will be
sent in to clear any sight of evidence, even if this means killing the
store-keeper.



Elite cleaners are rarely found in the mobs/mafias/gangs etc., but
instead apart of a government agency. Considering the drastic
consequenced often involved with these agencies actions, elite cleaners
are required. You never hear of them, and you rarely hear of what they
have cleaned up. All that's left is the event: Something happened, but
the cleaner will make sure there are no trails left behind. Such
cleaning jobs can be on a global scale, such as clearing a trail of
money used to get the job done."

I usually thought of a cleaner as a hitman also.
