As a homeowner, I would like anyone working in my house to maintain a neat enough worksite to help prevent accidents, but I wouldn't expect them to spend any significant time cleaning up after themselves. I don't want to be paying $70+ per hour to somebody to sweep my floor. I can do that myself for free.
Having said that, I think it would be a great marketing tool for a contracter to have a low paid person on their crew to do a clean up. If you have a minimum wage helper anyway, that guy could be cleaning.
In wolf's case, she's not paying these guys. Part of the contract should have been for clean up, or the apartment management should have sent a cleaning person by to tidy up. She shouldn't be stuck doing any cleaning.
