A laundry aide works in a hotel, hospital, or another facility where staff washed the laundry every day. As a laundry aide, you sort, wash, and fold clothes. Your responsibilities include taking care of delicate linen or other fabrics that require gentle cycles. Other duties involve using special techniques to remove certain types of stains, such as wine or blood. Laundry aides must be able to press or iron clothes quickly and thoroughly. At industrial cleaning companies, you must understand dry cleaning operation and how to use machines to clean clothes. If you work in hospitality, you may also refresh rooms with clean towels.
