Interwiki's[edit]

Interwiki's are hard for an article matching

the operation of washing
the clothes that they wash
the room where it is done

For exemple French links :

for the room fr:buerie
for the clothes : fr:Linge de maison

Walloon link wa:bouwêye applies to the operation of laundery.

Maybe is it better to have 3 differents articles.

Request additional information[edit]

Hello,

I would like to see an explanation for: "What is a French Laundry?"

How does it differ from a standard American laundry? and, Are there any similarities between a French laundry and a Chinese laundry?

Lead section.[edit]

This article needed an introduction and I've added a draft introduction to the article. I think the definition added by 68.225.52.173 was better than nothing, but I did't want to revert Jake Wartenberg's edit, so I've tried to improve it by rewording it to exclude the speech marks. Tim Ivorson 2008-12-30

I've decided that my first attempt at a lead section left room for improvement. I've removed the second of the two definitions, because the article is about the first. Tim Ivorson 2009-01-25

Funny[edit]

A cleaning-based article needs cleanup. LOL--^{The Legendary}_{Sky Attacker} 05:38, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Background to "Right to Dry" section?[edit]

Section on the "Right to Dry" seems a legitimate and interesting topic, but the section seems to take off in media res. It needs background on the legislation which outlawed line drying in the first place. babbage (talk) 04:47, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shoe company[edit]

There is a shoe company named Chinese laundry, I was trying to find out more about that company and where they got their name. Can someone who knows more fill in the article. Thanks --165.214.4.23 (talk) 04:49, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Drip Dry" fabrics[edit]

I have searched Wikipedia, but I cannot find any information on "Drip Dry" fabrics, what the process is that makes a fabric "drip dry", and how the fabric differs from any other clothing material. Please can anyone supply a link to this ? Or add this information to this and/or the "List of Laundry topics" page ? Many thanks, Frank. Darkman101 (talk) 21:40, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Advertisement[edit]

Why is there a single company mentioned for self-service laundries? Does Wikipedia at least get paid for mentioning it? --91.34.38.149 (talk) 06:04, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Washing temperatures[edit]

The section "laundry processes" should include more detailed information about common washing temperatures. Right now it reads like this is mostly a chemical process.

"The washing will often be done at a temperature above room temperature" - um, yes. Unless you consider 30°C to be room temperature, practically NO washing is done at room temperature with European machines at least. We commonly use 30°, 60°, and 90° water for washing. --91.34.38.149 (talk) 06:17, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there the hyperlink "tvättstuga"?[edit]

The word "tvättstuga" looks out of place in the part of the beginning after the article mentions residence halls. When you click "tvättstuga" it takes you to the "Laundry Room" page. doing ctrl/command-f and pasting "tvättstuga" does not show results. Why not just rename the hyperlink to "Laundry Room"...? Sounds like I'm at IKEA. Yes I created a wikipedia account to say this. Excuse me if I sound naive about the potential official name of a laundry room potentially unknown to me.
