Collected on Monday, back starched on Friday. Take the washing off a thousand households' hands every week.
Washday is a whole day's work at home, so a steam laundry that collects the bundle by van and brings it back ironed sells time as much as cleanliness. The plant is boilers, washing machines and calenders worked by women on piece rates, and it pays when it runs full. Hotels, hospitals and restaurants fill the week, and the washing machine at home and the launderette slowly take the households back.
