laundryman
Professional fabric washer
A laundryman is a man who works in a laundry, washing, drying, and pressing clothes and linens.
The term also applies to someone who picks up and delivers laundry: The laundryman comes on Tuesdays.
The word sounds dated now that most laundry work is self-service or performed by workers of any gender.
