The Difference Between a Housekeeper and a House Cleaner

There’s been a lot of talk about this lately, so here’s a simple breakdown to clear up the confusion because these two roles are not the same, and understanding the difference helps set fair expectations for everyone involved.

House Cleaner:
A house cleaner focuses on deep cleaning, maintenance cleans, move-in/move-out work, sanitizing, and detailed tasks. Examples include scrubbing bathrooms, degreasing kitchens, dusting, wiping baseboards, cleaning appliances, floors, and walls, and restoring spaces to a clean, healthy environment. This is task-based work, usually scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or as a specialty cleaning. You hire a cleaner when you want the space thoroughly cleaned and refreshed.

Housekeeper:
A housekeeper provides daily-living support inside the home. Examples include tidying, laundry, dishes, bed-making, organizing, meal prep, and general household upkeep. This is routine, ongoing support that helps the home run smoothly between professional cleanings. You hire a housekeeper for daily or weekly help that maintains your household.

Why This Matters:
Clear definitions lead to clear expectations. A client shouldn’t expect a cleaner to fold laundry or do dishes unless it was booked. And a housekeeper isn’t typically doing deep-cleaning or move-out work. Understanding these roles protects your time, your boundaries, your rates, and the respect our industry deserves.

✅Cleaners and housekeepers what do clients misunderstand the most about our roles? Homeowners did this help clear things up?

Something most people don’t know about cleaners (but should) - PLEASE READ 🧼

When people see “x amount” for cleaning, the first reaction is often: “That’s so expensive!” But here’s what that really means for the person behind the mop.
Cleaners don’t get paid holidays. We don’t get sick pay. We don’t get bonuses or bank holiday pay.

*You pay for the quality - of ur cleaning
,We consistently surpass standard practices, providing exceptional care and meticulous attention to detail at every scheduled visit."

And for that, we work our bodies to the bone.

* Carrying heavy hoovers up and down stairs.

* Breathing in strong chemicals all day.

* Rushing from client to client, often with unpaid travel in between.

A “6-hour day” often means 8–9 hours out of the house. By the end of it, our backs ache, our arms throb, and in summer, we’re dripping with sweat in houses with no air conditioning. But we keep going — because people are counting on us.

And yet, cleaners are asked to do the impossible: “Can you do a full end-of-tenancy in 3 hours?” In reality, 3 hours might only be enough for the kitchen alone. Still, we push ourselves because we don’t want to disappoint.

Now think of this:

* A nail set: £50 in 45 minutes.

* A hairstyle: £150–200 in under 2 hours.

* A bottle of wine: £30+.

But the person who scrubs your toilets, cleans your kitchen, and leaves your home fresh and peaceful? Too often, people want to pay them next to nothing.

Also with us you generally pay for what you get quality wise!

Plus, customers will try to get to a point where, they want mostly, every single inch of their homes done,
In a small amount of time, how impossible & they don’t realise that! How am I going to clean your whole garden up and include ur garage in a clean - SORRY but we definitely don’t do magic 😂

Please, if you have a cleaner, show them kindness. Even small things matter.

When a cleaner feels valued, you’ll always get their very best effort.
Behind every sparkling home is a tired body and a hardworking human being. Please don’t forget that.

GENERAL KITCHEN TIPS AND TRICKS

1. When a phone falls in water...put it in uncooked bag of rice...the rice sucks off the water.

2. When you garment is stained by biro ink, use white colgate paste or surgical spirit to clear the stain.

3. When iron box is black stained.(kuungua) rub broken chalk or crushed panadol when the iron box is hot to get rid of the black stains.

4. Hydrogen peroxide has many uses :

· First aid for cuts-it stops the bleeding.

· For septic wounds-it helps stem the infection.

· Mouthwash-mix it with water and you have an antibacterial mouthwash.

· Bleach for whites.

5. Boil lemons and put the water in the fridge to remove the food smell. Putting charcoal on the fridge will also absorb the smell too.

6. Baking soda

· Gets the grime of tiles- scrub sink/tiles with a baking soda and vinegar paste.

· It is also a face scrub (mix with water and scrub (very good for oily skin).

· It also removes burnt food on pans (soak the pan in a baking soda and water mix for about 15 minutes and the food will come off easily.

· For acid reflux-mix a pinch of baking soda with water and drink.

· If you have run out of toothpaste u could use baking soda paste to clean your teeth

7. If your clothes get stained by chewing gum, rub ice cube on the stained part and it will peel off. Another remedy is pouring paraffin on the gum and it will come off, then wash the cloth.

8. If your clothes get candle wax , cover garment with a newspaper and iron the wax over the newspaper, the wax melts and the newspaper absorbs it. You can also put the garment inside the freezer. The candle wax will freeze and break off.

9. Microwave cleaner-place a glass bowl filled with a solution of 1/4 cup vinegar in 1 cup water inside, and zap the mixture for five minutes on the highest setting. Once the bowl cools, dip a cloth or sponge into the liquid and use it to wipe away stains and splatters on the interior.

10. If you want to stop a garment from bleeding color, put some white vinegar in the rinse water. The garment will NEVER and I mean NEVER EVER run color again!!!

11. To clean a stained thermos fill it with warm water mixed with 1/4cup vinegar, add some uncooked rice, close, shake well, rinse well and let it air dry. You can alternatively soak it in a detergent like omo.

12. To clean a stained electric kettle boil water with a pinch of citric acid in it.

13. To prevent a candle from melting so fast, sprinkle a pinch of salt over it.

14. If you put too much salt in your food add a raw potato or two in it and let it cook for a while, it absorbs the salt. You can then throw the potato away.

15. When boiling beans put a full carrot inside, it helps reduce gas. After the beans have boiled throw the carrot away.

16. If u have itchy athletes foot apply toothpaste overnight for a few days, and the problem will be solved.

17. To clean stained and dirty tiles buy a solution called " cerrazo" available in supermarkets or hardware. It does wonders.

18. For colicky babies boil a tablespoon of cinnamon with 1 cup of water ,let it boil then store the concoction. Every time the baby is over whelmed, warm the concoction the give baby 5ml, works like a charm!!!

19. For dandruff, apply freshly squeezed lemon juice on scalp wait for at least 30minutes then squeeze 1 more lemon and mix in warm water then use the solution to rinse the hair and scalp. Apply your usual hair oil the next day.

20. Dawa ya mende (cockroaches), dawa ya mende !! Mix bicarbonate soda with sugar and hide in all the places where mendes hide .NB: Ensure there is not a single drop of water anywhere accessible. You will never have mende ever!

21. Kuuua panya (rats)...Take cement and mix it with food e.g. flour. Make sure there is no water accessible to the rats.

22. If your rice burnt while cooking, put a slice of white bread cover it for 2 minutes then remove and throw away the bread. The rice will not taste burnt. NB: Bread really works but of course make sure you do not touch the burnt bit when putting the rice in the serving bowl.

23. Use acetone to remove super glue stain.

24. To get rid of hangover. kunywa mayai mbichi.(drink raw egg)

25. To soften your feet soak them in vinegar and warm water then use a pumice stone to scrub and you have feet as soft as a baby’s bum.

26. When cooking liver soak it in milk for 30 minutes then cook. It makes it yummy plus detoxifies the liver. You fry and then when almost ready add some milk (not the milk you used to soak it) and let it boil as u stir. This makes the liver yummy.

27. Vinegar is a must have in the house. To remove bad smell in a room put vinegar in a bowl and leave it overnight or sprinkle some vinegar on the carpet it will make it smell fresh,.

28. Unclog your drains by pouring baking soda in it followed by a kettle of hot water.

29. To clear stained plastic chopping boards, cut lemon into half, rub it on the stained parts and leave it for 20 minutes, then rinse.

30. To store peeled but uncooked potatoes, cover in water and float slices of bread in the water, or put stainless steel items in the water. This ensures the potatoes don’t get that bad colouration.
