Private house cleaning jobs primarily refer to maid and housekeeping jobs in private homes. As a private house cleaning worker, you may live full time at your client’s home or travel to several clients’ homes throughout the day to perform your duties. The typical responsibilities of a private house cleaner are to keep all the rooms clean, dust furniture, windows, fixtures and doors, wash and polish metal and wood, clean the sinks and toilets, vacuum, take out the trash, and do the dishes. Some house cleaning jobs may include watering indoor plants or feeding pets.
