pillow covers, curtains, towels, blankets, theatre cloth, table cloth and
doctor coats. In hospitals it is often seen that cotton is the most preferred
material that is used. There are specialised hospital

machine required for bulk cleaning. There are specialised equipments meant for

washing machines to wash heavy rugs meant for use at stables and animal
farms.
