Clean Team

The Clean Team Ambassadors are the downtown cleanliness, safety, and hospitality team and are easily identified in their bright orange polo shirts. The Clean Team works 7 days a week and 365 days a year removing litter from sidewalks, cleaning and straightening fixtures, removing graffiti, assisting with information to downtown visitors, and many other services. We encourage you to ask our Clean Team for assistance during your time in downtown Winston-Salem.
