Laundry involves washing dirty clothes, towels, and sheets that have become soiled. The document outlines the basic steps for doing laundry at home, which includes separating lights and darks, loading the washing machine with one pile of clothes along with detergent, moving the clean clothes to the dryer, then folding and putting them away. Some people do their laundry at a laundromat if they don't have their own washing machine and dryer at home.
