Cleaning lady day

Based on the fictional character Karo Rutkowsky , on Gesine Schulz's initiative, November 8th, for the first time in 2004, became International Maid's Day . Even in Mallorca on November 8th, the employed housekeepers were presented with a white rose. Although the day was originally founded on the private initiative of Gesine Schulz, it is being echoed by a cleaning company on its 10th anniversary.
