Laundry Attendant

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
A Laundry Attendant’s main priorities are either cleaning and returning laundry to customers and hotel guests, or maintaining laundry facilities. General responsibilities of a person in this position may include:
Sorting Laundry

• In order to prevent dyes from transferring from one item to another, a Laundry Attendant must first sort the laundry by colors. Then, the items must be separated based on material and fabric. Finally, Laundry Attendants must be aware of any special washing instructions.

Stain Treatment

• In order to remove stains without damaging the item, a Laundry Attendant must determine the best solution for each individual stain depending on the type of stain and fabric consistency, condition and color of the item. Stain treatment can involve pre-soaking, applying bleaching solutions, steaming, as well as scrubbing, spot drying and using sponges or brushes.

Operate and Maintain Machines

• Loading and unloading laundry into and out of washing machines and driers is another task of a Laundry Attendant. They must be able to set the specifications for each load based on the time, treatment and fabric by turning valves or levers. Next, they must load the proper amount and type of detergent, soap, bleach, fabric softener or other solution.

Some Laundry Attendants will work with specialty items, and must be able to operate machines that clean and polish fur or leather. Laundry Attendants working in a coin-operated laundry facility are responsible for maintaining the machines, which includes cleaning them and their filters, as well as checking each machine for items left inside. They must provide customer service to individuals using the machines, as well as fix issues, or let management know about any problems or maintenance concerns.

Keep Track of Laundry

• Those working in a hotel or resort must keep track of laundry to make sure the right items are returned to their original owners.
