house cleaner

Tidies your home

A house cleaner is a person who cleans homes for pay, typically as a regular service.

The term is neutral and professional, often preferred over the older *cleaning lady* or *maid*, which carry class or gender associations.

House cleaners may work independently or for a cleaning company: We have a house cleaner who comes every other week.
