Are you obliged to clean customer toilets?

Questioner

I have been working as a cashier at Karwei for 11.5 years. I never had to clean customers' toilets, this was always done in the weekend. I never work in the weekend. But now my manager wants the customer toilet to be cleaned 3 times a day. So also during the week during my working hours, this also in corona time. I never wanted to clean toilets, because of hygiene. I can't stand seeing dirty toilets. And cleaning them even less. My question is can my employer oblige me to clean customers toilet? And also during corona? Thank you in advance! Kind regards, Sieta.

No, your employer cannot simply require you as a cashier to clean toilets.
