I dunno. Maybe it would be better to have poor people do those things rather than the Lord's financially blessed people. Harsh cleansers and such is a blessing that should be reserved for janitors in need of a job.

The point was that untrained members can do damage with those cleansers. Some of the cleaners at the church require WHMIS training in order legally use them.
For example, members have already stained porcelain by using the wrong dilution of industrial toilet cleanser. And just wait until the first child gets a chemical burn.
I'm not suggesting the poorest people should do this job. I'm suggesting that it's disingenuous to state that the reason we are asked to do it is because we are missing out on blessings.
