Okay, so you’re building your little empire in Schedule 1, product’s flowing, customers are happy, and as soon as you walk into your property, it's looking like a raccoon rave went down. Trash everywhere. Empty cups, scraps, wrappers, you name it, it's there. Picking it all up manually was fine in the early game, but now? You’ve got better things to do. That’s where the glorious, trash-banishing hero enters: The Schedule 1 Cleaner. Let’s walk through how to hire, assign, and get the most out of your Cleaner Schedule 1—because even the grimiest corners of Hyland deserve a little sparkle.

So, first things first—you need to actually get a Cleaner Schedule 1 game. To do that, head over to the Warehouse, which opens up after 6 PM, and have a little chat with Manny. You’ll find the Warehouse chilling right next to the Pawn Shop, and Manny’s the guy to talk to for all your employee needs. Tell Manny you want to hire an employee and select the Schedule 1 Cleaner from the list. You’ll then pick the property where the Schedule 1 Cleaner will work their magic. Here's what you're committing to:
Alright, you've hired your first Schedule 1 Cleaner. They're just standing there like a lost puppy outside your property. Time to put them to work—but first, we’ve got to make sure they’ve got a place to crash.
Whip out that clipboard and go over to the Schedule 1 Cleaner. You’ll see an option to Manage Cleaner—select that, then hit Assign Bed, and pick an unoccupied bed inside the property. No bed = no work. They’re not cleaning the floors while sleeping in the streets.
Now, you need to grab some trash cans. Head to any Hardware Store in Hyland and buy a few. Once you’ve got them, place the trash cans inside your property—ideally near high-traffic zones where trash likes to spawn. You can assign up to three trash cans per Schedule 1 Cleaner, so plan accordingly if you’ve got a big operation going.

Go back to the Schedule 1 Cleaner, open up the clipboard menu again, and select Assign Trash Can. Then walk over to the trash can(s) and assign each one. You’ll notice a green circle on the floor near each trash can—that’s the Cleaner's cleaning radius. Strategically place the cans so those green zones cover the messiest areas of your building.
Is your schedule 1 cleaner not working? Before the Cleaner actually starts working, you’ve got to put their daily wage into the briefcase next to their bed. If you don’t pay them, they won’t work—simple as that. Once you’ve paid and assigned everything, your Cleaner will get to work on their own:

Sure, early in the game you might be like, “Meh, I’ll just do it myself.” But when you’re expanding, running multiple properties, juggling employees, and dealing with all sorts of late-game chaos, you do not want to waste time picking up soda cans and crumpled paper. A Cleaner lets you focus on the money, the hustle, and the product. It’s just smart management—Hyland style.

Yes, especially if you have a large property with lots of trash cans. Just make sure each Cleaner has a bed and enough trash cans to manage.
They’ll stop working and just loaf around. Always keep that briefcase funded!
No! Once a Cleaner is assigned to a property, they stay there. If you need a Cleaner elsewhere, you’ll have to hire a new one.
