Short answer
A domestic cleaner cleans the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas of your home: wiping surfaces, cleaning and disinfecting bathrooms, dusting, vacuuming, mopping and emptying bins. Tasks such as ironing, oven cleaning and inside windows are usually extras, and cleaners do not move heavy furniture, work at height or handle hazardous waste.

What cleaners don't do
