ASEAN Laundry, 172 st loses your laundry

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I'm on St. 172 almost daily, but the laundry service(s) offered there never appealed to me.

I always bring my laundry to a shop on St.19 (don't remember the name, but it's just past '19Z' alleyway and it doubles as a 'Wing' outlet). They have modern laundry machines, laundry comes back perfectly clean and ironed, and I never lost anything.

That may be because they use staples to stick a very small sign in all your shirts/whatever - attached to the small label that's in any shirt - with a number on it. When you get your laundry back and don't know that, it's like: "What am I feeling in my neck?" Until you find out it's their system of 'categorizing' laundry items. And so, you're down to removing all those little signs, incl. the staples. But anyway it makes sure you get YOUR laundry back and not someone else's.

And no, those little staple things don't rust. Well, they might, if you keep them for weeks, but if you're like that you probably don't need laundry...

I was wondering how they keep track of things when they put them in together. Thanks. I've only used laundry service in Thailand.
