Wash-and-fold laundry in Kenya
Laundry washed, dried and folded under a defined per-load or net-weight service with item identification.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional sample order: Ten kilograms of dry everyday laundry, item-counted at intake, washed, dried and folded within actual machine and care-label limits. Bulky bedding, professional-care articles and unusual contamination are separately assessed. The price unit is dry kilogram, not an unrecorded sack.
