Loan Proposal

For many years laundry business used to be fully a manual affair. Clothes were washed by hand, dried out in the sun, ironed and then picked by the customer after three days. This kind of laundry shop still exists in some estates.
However since the mid 2000 there has been adaptation of machines. This started as a way to compete and differentiate; machines could save on labour costs, dry clothes faster and somehow give a sense of professionalism.
Then as laundry machines became more available, affordable and pushed to the mainstream through supermarkets and publicity by the household items companies more of the laundry businesses acquired them. Today there is a mix of manual and ‘semi automated’ laundries which use machines.
Another change in the last four or so years, has been the rise of semi professional house cleaning and laundry services. Take this to be better organized mama nguos ; branded , offering a cleaning package, more thorough and not necessarily middle aged and old women but also young ones in uniform.
These services are found within estates, especially in Nairobi’s mid income estates. The concept has gradually been catching though at rate lower than expected. Related to this are the slightly advanced forms of such services; these pick clothes, wash, iron and deliver.
