The profession of a steamer was highly valued at all times. A real bath attendant must be in an even mood, be hospitable, pleasant and attentive in communication. His work requires endurance, resistance to temperature fluctuations and good physical health. A steamer knows his work well, has sympathy for people and loves his profession. It was believed that he should have a contact with the bannik, which refers to the domov. Our ancestors were sure that if this spirit is dissatisfied with something, it can start mischievous. Therefore, the owner of the building was welcomed before the beginning of the procedures and thanked for a good steam before leaving.
