Do you know where is the biggest laundry place in the world? The answer is in Dhobi Ghat, City of Mumbai India. Don't imagine this biggest clothes laundry place using sophisticated washing machines like laundry places that we often meet. Because everything is done manually aka human power.
By using wooden planks, thousands of laundry workers will clean all clothes with their hands.

Because it is so much that it works, it's no wonder that the biggest laundry place is one of the favorite destinations for local and foreign tourists.

Every day there were hundreds of thousands of clothes washed by 7500 workers, all done manually by hand from washing, drying to ironing clothes. For 20 hours a day the laundry workers will take turns working. Uniquely it is not just women who work here, many men who also work skillfully their tapering fingers sort out clothes, rinse, dry up to iron clothes and pants.

The majority of people who use this laundry service come from hotels, hospitals and the rest of the general public. The history of the largest washing place of Dhobi Ghat in India has existed since 1890, once their services were used by the Persian and British invaders. Until finally Dhobi Ghat became one of the icons of economic development in the City of Mumbai.
