Dhobi Ghat – Mumbai – Open Air Laundry Ghat

This Dhobi Ghat of Mumbai is one of the only old laundry system of it's type in Mumbai, The name DHOBI (Refers to the person who is specialized in the laundry washing business) and GHAT (Is the name of the place where they wash the laundry) and so the name.

This place is special in the way the Dhobis wash the laundry, which is in the old style washing of hardly beating the clothes on Stone (Stone Wash Pens). They work collectively in groups with each washing the laundry of about one hundred customer's every day. The surprise to me was that with thousands of customer's laundry together, none are mixed or misplaced and exchanged with each other.

Once the laundry is washed, it is then followed by a special dry cleaning water process and then hung in open n air for drying. Then the clothes will be Ironed and delivered to respective customers homes.
