Can janitors clean their department on a different floor level?

[Joleko]

I would like to know whether janitors can clean up rooms of a department they are assigned to if they are on a different floor level. For example, in case I have clinical and hospitalization on different floors, whether I need a janitor on each floor or they will take the elevator and clean up the second floor. Thank you!

i dont know the answer but it reminds me of the first time I learned that you can not have a waiting room on the bottom floor for an office on the second floor.
I learned it only AFTER completing a total master planned starter hospital, with all the proper wall colors and all.

Janitors will move onto other area's that they aren't assigned to if the area they're assigned to is clean. They should go up floor levels as well.

They definitely are able to clean on different floors.

One thing to be mindful of with janitors is that once they start cleaning a room they completely finish the job before moving on, at least when I last checked. If you have very busy and/or large rooms, especially corridors near entrances and elevators, this can result in them getting stuck for ages in that room as the foot traffic contributes more dirt.

This is worth checking for if they don't seem to be cleaning some areas. The solution can be to split a long corridor up into several shorter corridors, or hire more janitors of course.
