How the 9/11 Memorial Reflecting Pools Are Deep Cleaned | Deep Cleaned | Insider

I went to the memorial and wondered how they kept the pool so clean, and now I know. I have even more respect for the memorial now because of these men and their dedication.

As someone who lost a friend in one of those buildings it infuriates me that some people have such disrespect that they vandalize the memorial that way. Much respect to the men that maintain this memorial

Respect to this cleaners! I don't even understand how people could think of doing damages to this. This memorial is such an important place. Respect from France.

As a New Yorker, I had no idea how the reflecting pools were maintained. I really appreciate the people who do this work. Glad that you put a spotlight on them.

It's these types of jobs, the ones that get the least recognition, that deserve the most

Respect for their work, they take such good care of the place. What baffles me is people not understanding that this site is the resting place of almost 3,000 people, you can’t just vandalize it. It’s their memories and the families’ too.

The memorial is gorgeous and nothing truly represents the grief that was left from 9/11 than two deep pits. Its haunting and beautiful and its an incredible dedication to those who were lost. I commend these guys for their hard work.

As a veteran I'm used to getting thanked for my service, however it's people like these that are what we fight for. The nameless who keep the tradition and love for this great country alive by working in the shadows that keep this land great and I want to say thank YOU for your service guys!! My hats off to you!!

I love that it is a full-time job to keep this memorial looking good for those who come to visit. It shows respect for the lives lost that day. I was young but I still remember that day myself.

My aunt is Adriane Scibetta. I believe she was in the North tower, right above where the plane struck somewhere between floor 101-105. I’ve never met her as I was born a year after 9/11 , but her presence is incredibly strong within our family. Adriane, we haven’t forgotten you. Your kids - my cousins , are incredible people , you would be so proud of them. We still talk about you, we still miss you. We will always miss you. Even myself ; as someone who never had the chance to meet you , I miss the encounters we would’ve had. Although I’ve never met your physical self, I do know who you are, and you are still my auntie Adriane. Thank you for keeping this memorial clean. For Adriane, for us, and for the many victims and families effected by this.

I can not understand why people have such a little respect for that wonderful place. I’m not even American but every time I pass by, the energy that flows there overwhelm me. It’s magical, sad and beautiful at the same time.

It has to be a weird feeling being there.. Knowing what happended. Knowing how many people died there. Much respect to these guys.

The detail these guys put in to keep this memorial pristine is nothing short of amazing. Hopefully the next generation of workers take just as good care of it as these guys do.

As a first responder on 9/11 in NYC, thank you Jim and team. You are doing such a beautiful thing.

The labors these people do to keep the reflecting pool and the memorial in good shape is outstanding. I almost started crying when I heard the personal back stories for some of the workers and their connection to 9/11. Well done!

Thank you Jim and your team for going out there every night to preserve the memory of the lives lost on that day. You guys deserve high praise for your dedication and careful work. I can't imagine having to remember the pain and scope of the tragedy every day you guys are in or around the pool because of the work you do. You have my respect. Much love to you all ❤

My respect to these workers.

I went there, even twice on both of my trips to NYC. And even though I was three when it happened, am not even American, and have no one killed in the attack - this place hits you nonetheless. Never actually thought that it is cleaned so often, great respect to all the workers!

Not only do I commend these men for their hard work and dedication but also New York for employeeing thes men instead of having machines cleaning the pool. Today marks 22 years. God Bless the victims, the surviving family and friends and these truly remarkable men for keeping their memories alive and well! ❤❤❤

I'm from Bourne Lincolnshire England. And these guys sure do need a big thank you for keeping the pools nice and clean. So, from an ex British soldier, thank you for your service, guys, and may God be with you forever 🙏 🙏🙏🙏
