What's the difference between a Cleaner and a Housekeeper?
Housekeepers usually travel to different houses and perform light cleaning tasks several times a week. They primarily work in someone’s house or a hotel setting completing several projects like washing and drying dishes, changing bed linens, and picking up clutter.
A Cleaner can work not just in houses or hotels, but also in many workplace environments performing both light and deep cleaning services. If a Cleaner works in someone’s home, they usually come over less than a Housekeeper and provide more deep cleaning services like wiping and sanitizing entire kitchens, scrubbing down bathrooms, and shampooing and vacuuming upholstery and carpets.
- We use a checklist system to ensure consistency. You will be given a copy specific to the work order assigned.
- Cleaners need to arrive at the office before check-out time to collect their room bags.
- Check-out time is 10:00 AM unless otherwise notified. This is the start of our shift.
- All assigned units must be completed by 3:00 PM and no later than 4:00 PM each day.
- Deep cleans are given 3 to 5 days to complete and are subject to extra scrutiny. For this reason, only experienced housekeepers will be assigned to these jobs.
- All units are inspected after they’re cleaned for quality assurance.
- On rare occasions, when a unit has excessive missed areas, it may be subject to a ‘call-back’ to correct any issues identified by the inspector.

- All dirty linens need to be bagged and returned to the office for laundering at the end of the day.
