accommodation, (building) fabric and textile maintenance
Explanation:
Lots of assuming being done here, but the subject could possibly be broken down as follows:
Accommodation - for the mundane tasks of fixing fuses, light bulbs, leaky tap washers etc
Fabric - in the sense of structure/construction, so it is being used for the cleaning, washing, wiping and polishing etc of solid surfaces.
Textiles - self-explanatory! Curtains, carpets etc

Explanation:
Think this rolls off the tongue a bit better and the individual elements google quite well in combination with "home economics".
