House cleaner VS Housekeeper VS Maid
They are not the same thing. 😊
🧽 House Cleaner: Hired for deep & routine cleans (kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting). Scheduled weekly/biweekly/monthly. Task-based, not daily upkeep. Add on services for daily tasks are typically offered but they focus more on things you dont get to do on a daily bases. Typically independent or work for a company.
🏠 Housekeeper: More like a home manager, ongoing home help, laundry, dishes, organizing, daily maintenance, and some run errands for the family and restock supplies. Usually comes daily or multiple times a week. Usually employed directly by the homeowner.
👗 Maid: Outdated umbrella term that’s often misused today. Historically used for live-in household staff.
