I still don't believe I fully understand the cleaning labour, is there a job in the manager for it? Also, what dictates whether people are going to do it? The bottom of my death pit is still full of blood and vomit and has been for some time even though there is clear open access to it. What gives?

I think its tasks such as dumping things you have marked for dumping, or putting bones/trash in the refuse pile.
EDIT: Oh wait, maybe thats refuse hauling...

I'm pretty sure cleaning *is* for removing blood/vomit/etc, but I think it's very low priority so won't generally happen unless the dwarves w/ cleaning don't have any other tasks to do at all.

Also I don't think they'll ever clean anything they consider to be *outside* so if your death pit is (or was ever) exposed to the sky that might be why.

I was pretty sure cleaning, was dumping, as well as cleaning blood and vomit. Its like the most low priority job in the world. I've seen them clean it, and they clean more then one tile, but I dont know much about it.

Unless I misunderstood you there, Dumping is refuse hauling, Cleaning is when a dwarf cleans blood and ichor and such off of tiles, personally, I've never seen them "purposefully" go somewhere to clean, just the occasional "Oh look, blood, I'll clean that" sort of thing after they've been hauling stuff about, no "10 z levels down, 10 tiles north is some blood, i shall go clean it before it drives me to insanity with it's crimson color"

Cleaning removes blood/vomit/ichor from a tile.  It's a low priority task.

I think it's bugged such that dwarves won't clean a tile that is sand/soil, or outdoors.

If you want to clean dirt or sand tiles, building a dirt road over it cleans it, somehow.

"10 z levels down, 10 tiles north is some blood, i shall go clean it before it drives me to insanity with it's crimson color"

Sig'd, this made me laugh quite heartily for some reason.

However, I can confirm that setting an area as "Meeting" greatly boosts the clean priority in that area. Dwarves will run all over it to clean up blood/ichor/whatever almost immediately, though again, this is only for underground indoor areas (so allow no light to touch it).
