What to expect
'I clean the offices and bathrooms and lobby five nights a week, but my actual job is to take care of everyone. They need so much help.'
At night, in a corporate office block in an unnamed metropolitan city, a cleaner begins her shift.
As she cleans Sad Intern's desk, she throws away some of her more alarming health supplements, and leaves her healthy snacks instead. Mr Buff's desk is immaculate, but he seems to have a secret smoking habit - not conducive to his fitness journey - which she's going to help him kick. She confiscates the knitted coaster that sexy, sensitive Yarn Guy has given to Soda Woman - someone who clips her nails in the office doesn't deserve his gifts.
She's the office guardian angel - and no one even knows it.
But tonight, while scrolling through your emails, she'll discover the secret you've been hiding - the one that will threaten her job, and the jobs of everyone she takes care of. And you're about to find out that, sometimes, your most powerful enemy is the one you don't even see.

Critics Review
-
A darkly funny tale.
RED Magazine -
Razor-sharp … biting and compulsive.
Grazia -
[A] compulsively readable workplace satire.
The iPaper -
A darkly funny, off-beat read.
Heat Magazine -
A sharp and toothy portrait of a life devoted to the convenience of others . . . Cleaner skilfully satirizes the work-place novel, offering cutting insights on the hypocrisy and empty ambitions of grind culture.
Isle McElroy, author of PEOPLE COLLIDE and THE ATMOSPHERIANS -
Brandi Wells’s Cleaner is a fantastic office novel, a keen evocation of our deep desire for dignity in the workplace and for recognition of a job well done. It’s also a smart thriller about what the essential workers you choose not to see might right now be thinking about you-and a sharp reminder that you ignore the people upon whom your good life depends at your own peril.
