This document discusses planning and equipment for an on-premises laundry (OPL). It describes key equipment like washing machines, extractors, dryers, and pressing equipment. It also covers laundry processes like sorting, washing, rinsing, finishing, and storing. Chemicals used include soaps, detergents, bleaches, fabric softeners. Dry cleaning is also summarized, including its advantages over laundering for delicate fabrics. Handling guest laundry and care labels are briefly mentioned at the end.

All soaps contain water but not more than 30% in good soaps. The following criteria must be kept in mind while selecting laundry soaps: The soap should be of clear pale colour as dark colour soaps may contain impurities that are not easily visible The soap should feel firm when pressed. If it feels soft, it may contain excessive amounts of water and will be wasteful in use. Many hard soaps, especially cheap brands, on the other hand, contain an excess of fillers such as sodium silicate to disguise the low percentage of soap. A good laundry soap dries to form a firm, unspeckled surface. Soaps that develop white crystals on the surface should not be used, as this shows an excess of harmful alkalis.

Dry cleaning removes oil as well as many water soluble and some insoluble materials with the help of detergents and various other agents.
Unlike laundering dry cleaning does not cause
swelling of the fibres and so does not lead to shrinkage, wrinkles and bleeding of colours. Dry cleaning is thus a safe mode for cleaning delicate textiles. ADVANTAGES OF DRY CLEANING Dry cleaning clothes for which laundering is not suitable It causes no shrinkage (which is often seen in laundering) Dry cleaning does not flatten the pile of fabrics such as velvet Finishes such as moireing are retained even after dry cleaning Colours do not bleed on dry cleaning Stains are more readily removed by dry cleaning DISADVANTAGES OF DRY CLEANING Dry cleaning is expensive compared to laundering Many dry cleaning solvents are harmful to health if inhaled for long durations After cleaning with solvents, a certain unpleasant smell tends to be retained by the articles.
