bleachery
Industrial textile lightener
A bleachery is a facility where textiles, paper, or other materials are bleached—whitened or lightened through chemical or sun exposure.
The term is industrial and somewhat old-fashioned, largely replaced by references to specific processes or general manufacturing plants: The old bleachery by the river closed decades ago.
