It differs from [[housekeeping]], which consists of the physical maintenance and cleaning of a house. ==India== In many subcontinental cultures, the wife in a [[nuclear family]] holds the responsibility for household management. In a [[great house]], the [[domestic servant]] responsible for household management is the ''[[Majordomo (domestic staff)|majordomo]]'' or ''[[Butler|steward]]''. As such, the majordomo is the head of the household staff. ==See also== *[[Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management]] *[[Household Cyclopedia]] *[http://housekeeping.about.com/ Housekeeping and Organization About.com] *[http://www.housekeepingchannel.com/ The Housekeeping Channel] {{Econ-stub}} {{Job-stub}} [[de:Gebäudereiniger]]
