Blanket washing service in Kenya

Blanket washing organized by material, size and care requirements rather than one universal wash process.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional sample order: Three labelled blankets of disclosed size and fibre, cleaned and returned individually tagged. Wool, fleece and woven blankets are not assumed to share one wash process. Assess loose binding or valuable unlabelled items before accepting a standard rate; repair and pest treatment are excluded.
