Cleaning Checklist for houseboy/male maid

The key to being a good houseboy or male maid is to first be willing and eager to serve in order to make your Mistress’ life easier. Then, you must be knowledgeable in how to clean appropriately. Next you must be organized to remember all the tasks that need to be done. Finally, you must be efficient in order to accomplish all your assigned tasks in the allotted time.

Be assured the better you are at cleaning your Mistress’ house, the more pleased! She will be. Remember “The faster the house is clean, the more time you’ll have to play”.
