Housekeeping

Housekeeping is the management and routine support activities of running and maintaining an organized physical institution occupied or used by people, like a house, ship, hospital, business or factory. The term may refer to cleaning, cooking, organization, shopping, and bill payment. The term is also used to refer to the money allocated for such use.

These tasks may be performed by members of the household, or by persons hired for the purpose.
In the United States, the term is associated with institutional housekeeping at hotels and resorts but may also refer to domestic housekeeping.
Housekeeper is a broader role than a cleaner, who is focused only on the cleaning aspect.
