Cultural Note
In Brazil, 'passar roupa' (to iron clothes) is a common chore, as wrinkled clothes are considered sloppy in professional settings. In Portugal, 'ferro de engomar' is the standard term. Many Brazilian households still hire someone specifically for ironing, especially for work shirts and dress clothes.
