Can’t you get it to clean itself?
It’s a job in Lower Decks which I think makes it canon.
That being said, it would be hilarious if holodecks can be self-cleaning but they still make ensigns do it anyway to “build character”
Maybe it’s the worst job because it’s really boring. You just go “Computer, run holodeck cleaning” and wait for it to finish?
Scraping carbon off of slightly harder carbon using phasers. Apparently it's a manual job.
Yeah Star Trek is so silly about manual tasks. You’d think they’d have Phaser Roombas (Phoombas). Like it’s either get a crew member to do it or you end up with an evil AI and barely any in between.
Time would go so much slower without something to do

Sometimes it's both.
Lol agreed!
It’s a matter assembler disassembler. Should be perfect for it.
On the other hand people wear costumes to the holodeck so I’m not sure.
It's holograms and force fields, that's why if you take anything out of the holodeck it disappears.
Unless it's snow obviously. I suppose that might have been actually replicated.
Someone has probably used transporter technology to Harry Potter their poop away
Like before you even go to the bathroom. That would be super weird feeling.
“O’Brien, set biofilters for feces and urine”
Have you ever had a gas bubble in your gut that shifted and now you feel fine?
A whole new spin on a “transporter buffer overflow”.
I hate how right you are.
They have their appartement and family on the ship though. Isn't it their home at some point?
Isn't that implied in a Lower Decks episode That people mainly use the holodeck for the bathroom
That all depends on what you're using the bathroom for.
Blumpkin?
To jerk off. That's why it sucks to have to clean them.
Seeing as how the lower deckers have shared communal space at all times when off duty, I too, would want a nice private place to spank the space monkey
