History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 238990-72 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of house cleaning can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Greece and Rome, where wealthy families employed slaves to clean their homes. In the Middle Ages, cleaning was done by servants and apprentices, and in the 19th century, the invention of the vacuum cleaner and other cleaning tools made cleaning easier and more efficient. In the United States, the house cleaning industry began to grow in the 1970s as more women entered the workforce and had less time to clean their homes. Today, the industry has expanded to include a wide range of services, from basic cleaning to deep cleaning, move-in/move-out cleaning, and green cleaning. The industry has also seen the rise of on-demand cleaning services, which allow customers to book cleaning services online or through mobile apps.
