* **Function:** the maid will execute the function 
* **Connection**: the maid will disconnect the connection
* **Instance**: the maid will run `:Destroy()` on any object derived from the [Instance](https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Instance#properties) class
* **Object**: the maid will clean up any object which has a `:Destroy()` method, such as instances of custom classes *(for example other* [*Maid*](/maid/introduction.md) *instances)*
