housecraft
Home management arts
Housecraft is the skill and knowledge involved in managing a household—cooking, cleaning, organizing, and maintaining a home.
The word parallels terms like woodcraft or stagecraft, treating domestic work as a learnable discipline rather than mere chores: She learned housecraft from her grandmother.
The term is somewhat old-fashioned.
