laundry

[Ju]

We always say:

1. We send the laundry to laundry shop .
(for sure that we are sending the dirty clothings to laundry shop for washing)

2, We pick up the laundry from laundry shop.
(for sure that we are picking up the clean clothings after washing)

__________________________________________________ ______________

a. Does it mean laundry stand for both clean and dirty clothings?

b. So if I have two packs of clothings:

• one pack is filled up with clean clothings from laundry shop
• another pack is filled up with dirty clothings for washing.

Then, what is the proper and clear way to distinguish these two packs of laundry if I choose to use the word laundry? Shall I say:

• clean laundry
• dirty laundry

Ju.

clean laundry
dirty laundry
... are correct.

But it's called a laundry, not a laundry shop.

not a teacher

Also, clothing, not clothings. It's not countable.
