Housekeeping
The art of cleaning and organization within the home
Cleaning: “Removing all dirt from the home environment”
According to the National Trust Manual of Housekeeping, references to Housekeeping
were recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1538 and later defined as “The
Maintenance of the Household’’. By 1550, housekeeping was referred to as “The
Management of Household Affairs’’.
In the 1600s, literary evidence was recorded through inventories, wills and special written
instructions pertaining to care for clothing and furnishings.
In the 17th century, paintings revealed housemaids at work. Published manuals starting as
early as 1594, such as The Jewel House of Art and Nature by Sir Hugh Platt and those
published through the years, including Home Comforts by Cheryl Mendelson and The
Original Guide to Private Service Management by Mrs. Mary Louise Starkey, continue
highlighting Housekeeping as an art.
Other evidence of Housekeeping was recorded through house records, letters, notes,
memorandums, oral history and Housekeeping staff.
Housekeeping staff is recorded as early as the 16th century. Women and servants were
responsible for the rearing of children and general household management. China’s
counterparts to these important works were often called their äiyi. In the early 18th
century, the number of staff varied with the prosperity and social position of the master of
the house. In the 1900s, housecleaning companies were created to support women who
had gone to work to bring additional money into the household. These teams of cleaners
such as Merry Maids are still performing the majority of cleaning in the western world.
In China, the National Housekeeping Association consists of over 500,000 member
companies.
