Industry Code: 87400
This industry includes businesses that provide the service of laundering items such as tablecloths, bed sheets, towels, uniforms, towels, and rugs. These services are generally provided to businesses such as hotels, motels, hospitals and restaurants. Employers providing a diaper cleaning service are classified in this industry.
Operation Details:
Employees generally use large heavy duty laundry machines that are necessary for the large volume of garments or textiles generally handled by employers in this industry.
The employers may rent the items to their customers with an agreement to clean the items on a specified interval. The customers of these employers are charged a fee that will reflect an amount to compensate the employer for the required cleaning, ironing and mending; with no charge for the rental of the items.
Employers in this industry often pick-up and deliver the laundry items; these activities, when done in conjunction with a commercial laundry service, are covered in this industry.
Underwriting Considerations:
Employers in this industry often provide dry cleaning services; these activities, when incidental to the employer's overall operations, are covered in this industry.
Businesses such as hotels, long-term care facilities and medical facilities often operate a laundry service internally; these activities are considered a part of the employer's overall operations and therefore, do not require a commercial laundry classification.
