laundryman

A laundryman is a professional who specializes in the washing, drying, and ironing of clothing and other textiles. The term is often used interchangeably with "washerman" or "launderer," although the latter can also refer to someone who engages in illegal or unethical laundry practices. Laundrymen typically work in laundromats, self-service laundries, or as independent contractors. Their duties may include operating washing machines, drying clothes, folding and sorting laundry, and sometimes ironing. In some cases, they may also handle specialized laundry services such as dry cleaning or stain removal. The profession requires physical stamina due to the manual labor involved, as well as attention to detail to ensure that clothes are cleaned thoroughly and returned in good condition. Laundrymen may work full-time or part-time, and their schedules can vary depending on the establishment or client base they serve. The role of a laundryman is essential in maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of clothing, contributing to personal and public health.
