This term can function as both a standard noun and a compound noun phrase (e.g. 'a cleaning lady' / 'the cleaning lady'). It specifically refers to a woman; the gender-neutral term 'cleaner' is common when the person's gender is unknown or not relevant, especially in job advertisements and formal writing. 'Cleaning lady' remains widely used in everyday speech and is not generally considered offensive.
