Cleaning stuffs

I’m always a fan of Engrish, and I couldn’t help noticing the English in my hotel room this weekend.

“Window cleaning for guest rooms is scheduled from 11:00AM to 2:30 PM. During this hour, cleaning stuffs may pass in front of the window of your room.”

First of all, that is a long, long hour, from 11:00AM to 2:30AM. It makes working an 8 hour day impossible.

And what exactly is “cleaning stuffs?” Is it soap running down your window? A surprise sponge? Or maybe, it is actually cleaning STAFF. According to the Japanese text, it is the cleaning staff.

What will pass in front of your window?
