'''"The Cleaners"''' is the name given to the fictional [[mercenary]]military organisation in the [[computer]] game ''[[Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne]]''. They are named after the business that serves as their front - "The Squeaky Cleaning Company".

{{spoiler}}

The Cleaners are so called because they disguise themselves as legitimate crime scene cleaners. They leave no evidence of their killings: they dispose of the bodies, spilled blood, spent ammunition casings, and possibly damage inflicted in the vicinity.

Line 18 ⟶ 17:

Lem led the Cleaners in an assault on the manor of [[United States Senate|senator]] Alfred Woden, a member of a mysterious organization called [[The Inner Circle (organization)|The Inner Circle]] who had helped Max before. They planned to kill Woden and steal a large amount of gold; although Max was unable to prevent the senator's death, he killed Lem and a large number of Cleaners. This presumably crippled the organization.

These "Cleaners" seem to like a good joke, and often crack jokes about their victims. Some of them even seem a bit happy-go-lucky. They also make jokes about each other. In the second return to the funhouse (as Max), one of the cleaners says that he is a bit aprehensive about hunting down Payne in such a creepy place. His comrade then sarcastically says, "Oh, I'm so afraid! It's the attack of the badly drawn cardboard bad-asses!" Earlier, in the same level, two cleaners are standing next to a pile of cardboard crates, and when Max flips a switch, the pile falls, but is pulled back up again. The cleaners shout out, then jump out of the way, but realise it's a joke. When killed Max says: "Cleaners was a misnomer. They were making a mess of things." However, once changed into their commando gears, the Cleaners are significantly more disciplined in their actions and behavior, showing their true professional nature.
