==Stellar Patrol, it's not a job, it's an adventure!==

You have the most <s>important</s> time consuming, under appreciated and eventually pointless job on the station. You keep small areas from looking shitty while the areas you've already cleaned are covered with blood and litter again. You'll clean floors, toss out junk, replace broken lights and overall, keep the station resembling a workplace and not an anarchist playground!

* [[Galoshes]] that prevent you from slipping on wet floors and items such as bananas and the clown's [[PDA]], but do nothing on [[chemist|space lubed]] floors

* A [[Spray Bottle|spray bottle]] of [[space cleaner]] that will sadly run out quickly and need to be replenished by [[chemistry]]

* Three [[Space Cleaner|space cleaner]] foam [[grenade]]s

* A [[bucket]] for filling your janitorial cart

* A <s>lot</s> few wet floor signs

* A [[haz-mat suit]]. Its hood will prevent facehuggers from raping you. Both pieces of it, when used with internals, will stop you catching contact and airborne viruses.

* A box of [[mousetrap]]s to kill [[mice]] that never leave maintenance without [[Assistant|assistance]]

 

Most important, you have your purple soft cap to signify <s>your duty to the station</s> who to lynch when the [[Clown]] is wetting floors.

 

 

 

 

Make sure the [[detective]] has cleared a scene before you clean up an area of some blood. Follow people dragging bodies to the medical bay; they leave long trails of blood which means more work for you.

Don't be that asshole who finds the need to clean during an emergency. Slipping over people in a hurry to get dying to the medical bay or escape a loose [[singularity]] for the sake of clean floors is selfish. Bloody floors don't matter when the shuttle is arriving in six minutes and everyone's dying and half the station is destroyed.

A janitor [[cyborg]] is a far more efficient janitor than you'll ever be. It can clean floors by just moving onto them.

Your mop bucket holds 100 units of liquid. This does not need to be straight water. If you're able to get Chemistry to give you 50 units of ammonia and mix it with 50 units of water, congratulations! You just created 100 units of Space Cleaner and mopping the floor does not leave it slippery. People will still assume that if you're mopping without the signs that you're creating a safety hazard, so make sure to correct them BEFORE they choke you to death. You can also use [[Chaplain|holy water]] to clean floors, it will not slip people.

Remember that your bottle of Space Cleaner can clean tiles instantly as well. If you aim far enough from your position, you can clean up to three tiles in a single spray. Useful to quickly clean up your [[Traitor|evidence]].

By right-clicking on the spray bottle, you can tip the contents out of it.

Spray people with space cleaner if they are covered in blood around their head and chest (but not if they have bloody gloves). This usually makes people happy, as security officers won't hound them as much. Sometimes the station needs a [[The Owl|hero]] though, all you need to do is mop the right floor, or spray water at the right time to stop the worst fiend humanity has ever known.

As a [[traitor]] you're going to have a hard time. Although you are capable of cleaning up your evidence, you have little access to the station. The best you can do is throw water in front of your target so he falls, drag him into the nearest maintenance tunnel, and beat him dead with <s>your [[mop]]</s> a fire extinguisher. Be practical.

Your garbage bag is handy for hiding objects in, as it's rarely checked during a search.  

A bear trap can slow someone until someone else is kind enough to remove it from their leg. You don't need a low light area to hide it, you can place it under an object with a large sprite such as a backpack, or you can just leave it uncovered and wait for the inevitable runner to zoom into it without time to notice it and stop.

Your [[General_items#Light_Replacer|light replacer]] can also be used to set deadly traps. [[Emag|Emagging]] your light replacer will make all lights you replace be rigged with plasma, causing them to explode when they are turned on. Be cautious though, replacing an active with an emagged-light replacer will instantly cause the light bulb to explode! Turn off the light first!

Your galoshes and spray bottle/mop can be used with water to create visible slippery tiles that cause reasonably long stuns on those who run across them, without slipping you. You can also use your galoshes and your cleaner grenades (which you can order more of through [[cargo]]) to create a large area that cannot be crossed by anyone but hulks, traitors with noslips, and you (I think foam slips walkers too). Anyone caught on the foam area will not be able to move until it disperses without slipping. You can cross the foam and walk into someone to slip them, provided you're moving them onto a foam tile. The foam will stun them long enough to handcuff them, choke them, beat them and cause more knockdowns, or remove their headset.

You can often ask the Head of Personnel for more access to clean. This may get you into the department your target works in.
