Unlike a maid, who will often only be given very light cleaning tasks, a house cleaner's sole responsibility is keeping a house clean and thoroughly sanitized. In addition to light cleaning, such as dusting and sweeping, a house cleaner will scrub, scrape and clean bathrooms. This typically includes scrubbing toilets, removing mold buildup in the shower and dusting floorboards. Window cleaning is also an important part of a house cleaner's job.
