For me, saying floor cleaner was like saying shoe shiner, a word composed to describe a profession that did not dishonor, in any way, the person who practiced it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I was 14 years old, a girl my age knocked on our door. She was black, tall, strong and beautiful. She asked for my mother and when she saw her she told her: \u201cI\u2019m Lianna, your niece, your sister Angela\u2019s daughter.\u201d My mother told me that, since my grandmother didn\u2019t know how to do anything around the house and she cried in front of the laundry tub every time she had to wash, she looked for a woman to do the work. While my grandmother Nilda taught classes in El Lucero in a small multigrade school, Catalina cleaned the house. My grandfather Aemir politely seduced \u201cthe cleaning lady\u201d and, although he was with my grandmother all his life, from his romance with Catalina, the beautiful Angela was born.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My mother, my aunt La China, and my uncle El Chuny did know Angelita because my grandfather took her to the Isla de La Juventud and they lived together for a time with my grandmother\u2019s approval. Then the brothers lost contact because they moved to different provinces. Until Lianna, my first cousin, arrived by surprise and she remained forever part of our closest family. Through her, all of her relatives were reconnected and, although we do not have the same last name, she had a son whom she named Aemir, like my grandfather.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When my aunt Angelita started working as a \u201ccleaner\u201d because she had to support her children, she did so covering for a worker who was on maternity leave. In those years it was difficult to get a position because people retired in their positions. After a little while she managed to obtain a permanent position as a cleaning assistant at the Cruce de Los Ba\u00f1os polyclinic, at III Frente. For her, it was a merit to have achieved it. She says that once a national visit came and the first recognition was for the polyclinic\u2019s cleanliness. She was always very careful in her work and her work center was, for years, an important reference within the region in terms of hygiene.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My aunt Angelita was a prestigious worker, an example for her colleagues, and a source of pride for her children. She had beautiful moments and complex moments. She belonged to the Labor Justice Body for years and had to participate in the most difficult process that has ever existed according to her: the first workforce reduction that was carried out in the country. When my aunt talks about that her eyes water because she says that, with the suitability thing, a few parents were left out of their positions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Angelita studied to become a sterilization technician. She has been working for twenty-three years in the sterilization department of the same polyclinic where she started \u201ccleaning.\u201d She has fond memories of her first job and she says she never felt belittled by her co-workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_299878\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299878\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-5-1140x855-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-299878\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-5-1140x855-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1140\" height=\"855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-5-1140x855-1.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-5-1140x855-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-5-1140x855-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-5-1140x855-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-5-1140x855-1-750x563.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-299878\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My aunt Angelita in the center guarded by her sisters, my mother, and my aunt China. Photo: Family archive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like my aunt, I know other women with a similar experience. Neklis, at the Faculty of Physical Culture of Santiago de Cuba, where my mother was dean, started cleaning floors, then she was in charge of the pantry and studied in the workers\u2019 course. Today she is a professor and the head of University Extension at the same faculty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning for \u201cthe State\u201d in schools, hospitals and workplaces is extremely complicated today. My aunt tells me that before they worked better, there were more resources. She knows that now many places are dirty because the assistants do not have a broom, a good floor mop, gloves, or cleaning products. Nothing can be demanded if there are no conditions, salaries are low and prices are high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those who clean in recreational centers or hotels have other earnings, although the job is the same. A friend\u2019s girlfriend told me that when she cleaned the rooms at a hotel in Los Cayos, she found \u201ceverything,\u201d from used condoms, hair bands full of hair, even clothes, money, and items that guests left forgotten under the beds. She cleaned well, earned enough to have a decent living, and took what she could without being dishonest.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_299879\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299879\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-4-1140x1952-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-299879\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-4-1140x1952-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1140\" height=\"1952\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-4-1140x1952-1.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-4-1140x1952-1-175x300.jpg 175w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-4-1140x1952-1-598x1024.jpg 598w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-4-1140x1952-1-768x1315.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-4-1140x1952-1-897x1536.jpg 897w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-4-1140x1952-1-750x1284.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-299879\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maray coming to work with a triumphant spirit and elegance. Photo: Jorge Ricardo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of my best friends, to support her son, cleaned floors at the F\u00e1brica de Arte while pursuing her degree in Social Communication. She earned more in a week cleaning than I did in a month as a university professor and Master of Science. She told me several times: \u201cDeary, I\u2019m talking so that you can clean with me. There are products, it\u2019s great there.\u201d But I had my little boy and I made extra money selling books from my personal library in the pigeon park when things were more pressing. Furthermore, with dirty spots I leave on the floor of my house, I would not be able to convince anyone. But I have that trump card, in case one day I have to clean floors in Cuba or anywhere else in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have referred to women, but some men also work in cleaning. I know someone who works in a house where a dozen women passed through. Only he has been able to do the job and managed to please the owner with his work.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_299880\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299880\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-299880\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-2.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-2-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/limpieza-jorge-ricardo-2024-2-1140x760.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-299880\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Humberto cleans better than three or four together.
