While there are different types of cleaners, they are all professionals who clean homes or businesses. They may be domestic workers who live in, or on the same property as, the house they clean. They may offer cleaning services as an individual or through an agency. Cleaners may clean (kitchens, bathrooms, floors, windows), change sheets, make beds, vacuum, and do general tidying-up. Responsibilities vary depending on the employer and the needs of the space.
| Aspect | Cleaner | Housekeeper |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | None typically required, on-the-job training common | May require experience or certification in cleaning or hospitality |
| Work Environment | Commercial, residential, or industrial spaces | Private homes, hotels, or resorts |
| Job Duties | Basic cleaning tasks like sweeping, mopping, dusting | Cleaning plus additional tasks like laundry, organizing, guest services |
| Employer & Industry | Cleaning companies, property management, facilities | Hotels, private households, hospitality industry |
While both cleaners and housekeepers perform cleaning tasks, housekeepers often have broader responsibilities including laundry and guest services, and may require more experience or certifications. Cleaners typically focus solely on cleaning tasks across various environments.
