The cleaning department takes care of maintaining pages that require regular updates, archiving and so forth. By sharing the responsibility for these activities, we reduce the amount of work necessary for the individuals. Simply put, volunteers list themselves here for a particular day in the month and pledge to help with the cleaning of a page on that day.
Cleaning pages is necessary to keep them well structured and at a reasonable size -- some people have problems editing large pages (which in part can be addressed using section editing), and higher loading time affects users with slow connections (and bogs down the servers). If you want to join the cleaning department for a particular page, sign your name after a day in the month on which you will check that particular page to help with its maintenance if necessary.
