The shift to robotic cleaning is only accelerating and eventually all general cleaning personnel will be replaced by robots.
Hospitals need thorough cleaning yes and currently the quality varies greatly depending on who does the cleaning. If the cleaners have low morale and lack of motivation for whatever personal reason they do a crappy job. A robot doesn't have personal issues. The level of dexterity is not there yet but eventually cleaning will be done only by robots.
Take the 1x neo humanoid. It's lacking in autonomy only because the VLA model is still quite primitive. Now imagine what similar robots could do in 10 years if the AI side is fully developed.
Also the pricing is a non issue. A $50000 robot that can work for 5 years is a much better investment than paying a human.
