A cover letter for a custodian can also be used to apply for the position of janitor.
Your responsibility to keep the building (school, office, hospital) well maintained, safe, and clean reflects on the company you work for and is the first impression visitors receive of the premises and those who inhabit it.
Time management abilities, attention to detail, and additional knowledge of common repairs are also useful for this position, as the management of the building will find it cheaper and more efficient if the custodian saves them from having to call in a repairman and then wait until the repairman arrives.

Re: Custodian
Dear Mr. Harris,
I saw your ad in the Springfield Republican for the position of custodian for your school and I’d like to apply.
As you see from my resume, I’ve worked as a custodian before and am a good cleaner. I know which kinds of chemicals to use to get the best results, and know how to keep restrooms, offices, and hallways clean.
I’m used to making small repairs on desk drawers, chairs, and doors, and have experience with a variety of cleaning machines – wax machines, vacuums, polishing machines, etc.
Other stuff I do around the building includes:
- Taking out the garbage every day
- Making sure to restock the coffee corner and restrooms with supplies
- Helping the secretaries when they can’t figure out how the copier machines work
I make sure to keep in good shape so I can carry out my duties properly, and have a helpful attitude. I’m used to taking care of buildings so you’ll find that I keep the place looking in good shape without being told. If you’re the type who likes to remind me of each detail, I’m okay with that too.
I can come to meet you so you can see what kind of person I am and I can look around the building and give you ideas how I can make it look better.
My contact information is on the top of the page.
