Oomis, how would the housekeeper know it was a mistake? Only the owner of the item would know it is a mistake! That’s my point. The housekeeper’s job was to do the laundry as it was given to her and NOT to ask questions. The laundress’ job was to do the laundry as it was given to her and not to ask questions. It is the customer’s responsibility to check the bag before they drop it off. The onus is on the customer to make sure they drop off only items that can be washed, not hand wash items and not dry clean items, etc. It is not the responsibility of the laundress to check the labels of any item that is the responsibility of the customer. Unfortunately even our housekeepers are not smart enough to read labels and if our kids are stupid enough not to hang up their suits and it finds its way into the laundry room, their suits wind up getting washed and not getting sent to the cleaners! As much as we get angry at the housekeeper because she should have known better not to wash a suit or a good pair of pants, the kids should have known to hang it up and not drop it on the floor.
