Christopher Ely, butler extraordinaire, says it's impossible to properly press a shirt in less than 20 minutes. How incompetent can he be? Good thing he doesn't charge by the hour. Dude downstairs can press a shirt in three minutes flat. Another outlandish claim: "A bed should not be made immediately after one wakes, but rather, left alone, preferably near an open window, to allow the sleeper’s perspiration to evaporate." Say what? For the sucker in you, to learn his outlandish trade, be sure to pay, gasp, "$1,995 each for the culinary and laundry classes, and $1,750 for the cleaning class, for a total of $5,740" at the French Culinary Institute.
To learn even more outlandish housekeeping tricks for the manservant in you, read from the source. But if you can't reach the original article, sorry you got to pay up to the Gray Lady. Fewer things in life are free.
