Launderers are individuals or companies that specialize in cleaning and washing textiles, such as clothes, linens, and towels. However, there are various synonyms for launderers, including dry cleaners, laundry workers, launderettes, washers, wash attendants, and laundrymen. They all perform similar tasks but may have different levels of expertise or operate in different locations. Dry cleaners, for example, use chemicals instead of water to remove stains and dirt from clothes. Laundry workers may work in hotels, hospitals, or other establishments where they wash large quantities of linens and uniforms. Launderettes, on the other hand, are self-service laundry facilities where customers can wash and dry their own clothes.
