Headline Housekeeping at United Nations Headquarters

Caption Description There are, at UN Headquarters, 2,000,000 square feet of flooring to be swept daily, nearly seven miles of carpeting for the vacuum cleaner. As soon as the building population has gone home for the night, a small army of cleaners sets to work. Every square foot of flooring, including the subterranean garage, is swept, mopped, washed or vacuumed as the case may be. The vast expanses of carpeting are handled by oversize vacuum tanks of from 4-gallon to 12-gallon capacity.
This picture shows a workman cleaning up the Security Council chamber with one of these tanks.
