Janitor

Janitor is a compound sign. First, sign clean, then sign person. To sign 'clean', lay your flat, non-dominant hand in front of you with your palm up, and wipe across that hand with your flat, dominant hand. Then, sign 'person' by having both flat hands face each other in front of your body, then pull them down simultaneously.
