1. INTRODUCTION
Laundry and Dry cleaning is a service activity. Earlier clothes were washed
by hand, washer men in ponds, rivers and then dried and pressed. But now a day’s
hand wash is outdated, due to work load. Washing machines of high capacity are
developed and steam pressing and calendaring machines have also come up to make
wrinkle free and press automatically. Dry cleaning is a process of cleaning costly
clothes in specific solvent with the help of washing machine. In conventional
washing, water is the main medium and detergent or soap is used for washing. In
such case, costly clothes may shrink or colour may fade in the presence of strong
alkalis. So valuable clothes, sarees, coats, etc. are dry washed. As dry cleaning need
lot of care and systematic procedure and chemicals, it is not easy to carry out at
home and service units are found in major towns for this activity. The Project will
have automatic Washing machine also to undertake the order of wet cleaning of the
cloths. Facility for pressing of the cloths of customer will also be available.
2. MARKET POTENTIAL
In the present scheme the provision of mechanical laundry wash is present
but not dry wash. Demand of mechanical laundry and dry cleaning is increasing day
by day in tune with population growth in towns and cities. As more and more
women are nowadays getting engaged in different jobs and time is not available to
do household activities like washing. Such service units are mushrooming in the
market of small towns and cities. Such type of washing unit will collect the clothes
from the service centers situated in different places and after washing the clothes
will be sent back to the centers. Such type of units has very good demand in capital
town where 75% of the population belong to service sector and will avail the facility
promptly.
