Laundries clean and care for clothing, household textiles and, in some cases, workwear or other commercial items. Customers may be able to use self-service washing machines and tumble dryers, or leave items for staff to wash, dry and fold. Services can include ironing, pressing, stain treatment and the cleaning of bulky items such as duvets, blankets and curtains, depending on the facilities and equipment available. Some laundries collect and deliver laundry for households, businesses or organisations, while others provide a drop-off service from a shop or operate on a self-service basis. Commercial laundries process larger volumes of items for customers such as hotels, restaurants, care settings and salons, and may arrange regular collections and returns. Dry cleaning is a separate process and may be offered by some businesses, but is not available at every laundry. Customers should check how garments must be prepared and whether specialist fabrics or items can be handled.
