Obviously, like other slaves, they did the chores for their citizen owners. The slaves did everything for their owners, including repairing the city after wars or disasters. The slaves shouldn't have to clean outside of the house, especially when they didn't mess up the city. They should have the normal job of a slave or maid/servant. Even though women and metics/foreigners that live in a city-states are not citizens, they were free. Slaves were noncitizens, however, unlike the women, metics, and also children, they were controlled by someone, so they were not free. The main role of domestic slaves, slaves who were owned for life as property would stay at the trade stands with their owner, but if they were domestic, why were they not doing chores inside the house? Sometimes, the poor slaves had to accompany/fight along side their owner in wars. However, this helped Greeks in wars. Females that weren't slaves were imposed to stay in the house anyway, so the slave females had no chance of going outside of the house, so they did the domestic/house tasks, mostly making textiles, and making bread. All but the extremely poor citizens, almost slaves themselves, could not own one. It looks like the slaves were important, and in Greek slaves were said to play major roles.
