What a housekeeping staff does for your home.
Villas, duplexes and farmhouses need more than a daily sweep. Housekeeping staff work through planned routines so every room, terrace and guest area is looked after on a schedule.
If your home needs more than one person, tell us at the requirement stage. We record the number of floors, rooms and bathrooms so the workload is realistic.
Hiring a housekeeping staff: what to know.
What housekeeping staff do
Housekeeping staff keep larger homes, duplexes and villas organised: detailed cleaning across many rooms, linen and wardrobe management, upkeep schedules and coordinating with other household staff.
When to choose housekeeping staff
If cleaning alone fills a full day, or the home has many rooms, terraces and guest areas, housekeeping staff are a better fit than a single house maid or all-rounder.
Fees and salary
Maidvy's Daytime Plan is ₹15,000 + 18% GST = ₹17,700, with up to 2 replacements during the active plan. Live-in housekeeping staff use the 24×7 Live-In Plan (₹25,000 + 18% GST = ₹29,500). The worker's monthly salary is separate from the agency fee. It is agreed directly between your family and the worker based on experience, duties, hours, city and mutual agreement, and is paid directly to the worker.
Planning upkeep for a large home
Create a rota: daily areas, weekly deep-cleaning zones, linen changes, wardrobe and pantry organisation and seasonal tasks. This lets housekeeping staff plan the week instead of reacting day to day.
How hiring works
Share your requirement through Book Now, a callback or WhatsApp; confirm with the ₹5,900 booking advance (₹5,000 + GST), which is adjusted against your plan fee; review matched profiles verified as applicable; interview shortlisted candidates by audio or video; finalise and pay the balance as per the booking terms; then Maidvy coordinates joining, and a Relationship Manager supports you during the active plan. Deployment generally takes 2 to 15 working days and is not guaranteed.
Standards and checklists
Large homes benefit from written standards: how beds are made, how wardrobes are arranged, which surfaces need special care, and a daily and weekly checklist per floor. Housekeeping staff can follow and maintain these consistently.
Care of finishes and furnishings
Discuss marble, wooden floors, upholstery, silver, glassware and artwork that need specific care. Provide the correct products and show the methods you prefer.
One housekeeper or a team
Very large properties may need more than one person. Map the hours each area needs before deciding, and consider adding a cook or house maid rather than overloading one person.
A typical day, as an example
Opening and airing rooms, making beds, cleaning bathrooms, dusting and polishing living areas, organising wardrobes and linen, checking pantry stock and preparing guest rooms. Weekly tasks rotate through deeper cleaning of each area.
Questions to ask housekeeping staff
Ask about the size of homes they have managed, how they care for marble, wood and delicate fabrics, how they plan a week, and whether they have worked alongside other staff.
Total cost of housekeeping staff
Plan for the agency plan fee (₹17,700 daytime or ₹29,500 live-in, incl. GST), the salary agreed with you, and for live-in staff, meals and private accommodation.
