Domestic cleaning is an important part of home care services, where caregivers assist with everyday household tasks to help maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable living environment. These duties may include dusting, vacuuming, mopping floors, washing dishes, laundry, and organising personal belongings. By supporting with these responsibilities, caregivers help reduce the physical strain on individuals who may have limited mobility, health conditions, or other challenges that make household tasks difficult to manage independently.
