A butler - is a domestic worker in a large household.

In great houses, the household is


sometimes divided into departments with the butler in charge of the dining room, wine cellar,
and pantry. Some also have charge of the entire parlour floor, and housekeepers caring for the
entire house and its appearance.

Valet Service - is a cleaning service, in which your clothes are collected for cleaning, from your
house or hotel, and returned to you

Ironing Techniques - the heating is commonly done to a temperature of 180220 Celsius,


depending on the fabric.[2] Ironing works by loosening the bonds between the long-chain polymer
molecules in the fibers of the material. While the molecules are hot, the fibers are straightened by
the weight of the iron, and they hold their new shape as they cool. Some fabrics, such as cotton,
require the addition of water to loosen the intermolecular bonds. Many modern fabrics
(developed in or after the mid-twentieth century) are advertised as needing little or no ironing.
Permanent press clothing was developed to reduce the ironing necessary by combining wrinkle-
resistant polyester with cotton.

Spot Remover - a concentrated cleaning fluid used to remove small areas of staining, such as on
a carpet.

Laundry - Clothes and linen that need to be washed or that have been newly washed

Bed-making - is the act of arranging the bedsheets and other bedding on a bed, to prepare it for
use.[1] It is a household chore, but is also performed in establishments including hospitals, hotels,
and military or educational residences. Bed-making is also a common childhood chore

Room Make up - the work of preparing a room in a hotel for the next guest, by cleaning it,
putting clean sheets and pillowcases on the bed and putting fresh towels, shampoo, soap, etc., in
the bathroom
Washing machine

A washing machine (laundry machine, clothes washer, or washer) is a machine used to wash
laundry, such as clothing and sheets. The term is mostly applied to machines that use water as
opposed to dry cleaning (which uses alternative cleaning fluids, and is performed by specialist
businesses) or ultrasonic cleaners.

Clothes washer technology developed as a way to reduce the manual labor spent, providing an
open basin or sealed container with paddles or fingers to automatically agitate the clothing. The
earliest machines were hand-operated and constructed from wood, while later machines made of
metal permitted a fire to burn below the washtub, keeping the water warm throughout the day's
washing.

The earliest special-purpose mechanical washing device was the washboard, invented in 1797 by
Nathaniel Briggs of New Hampshire.[2][3]

By the mid-1850s steam-driven commercial laundry machinery were on sale in the UK and US.[4]
Technological advances in machinery for commercial and institutional washers proceeded faster
than domestic washer design for several decades, especially in the UK. In the United States there
was more emphasis on developing machines for washing at home, though machines for
commercial laundry services were widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[5] The
rotary washing machine was patented by Hamilton Smith in 1858.[3] As electricity was not
commonly available until at least 1930, some early washing machines were operated by a low-
speed, single-cylinder hit-and-miss gasoline engine.
