Dhobi
Ghat is the Hindi word for the laundry place. Dhobi are the launderers,
Ghat means place going down to the water. Parit is the Sanskrit
word for the Dhobi, the launderers.
Parit-India is also
a Dhobi-Ghat having high international standards with professional
Dhobis.
Higher technology is certainly available, but with the low cost
of (human) labor, and the frequency of power shortages, India
is marching into the 21st century still employing a whole caste
to clean the laundry of this 950 million population by hand.
Many clothes in India are made of very thin cotton, because of
the heat during the summer months. Such clothes (sarees, etc.)
Dry very quickly in the hot Indian sun.
The dhobis have a very cryptic, virtually foolproof system of
marking laundry to assure that it is returned to its owner. While
buttons often go missing, due to the beating process, clothes
are invariably returned to the correct person!
The police and missing person's bureau often rely on the dhobis
to help them solve crimes! The dhobis can accurately identify
a person by the clothing markings, which are inscrutable to outsiders.
At Parit India we
will wash & iron clothes with un-conventional machines and
our staff will be well-trained machine operators.
Although higher technology is available In
Parit-India, COST of washing is certainly lower
than the conventional dhobi-ghats.
Quality of washing & ironing is best with technologically
advanced machines.
With the advanced planning we at Parit-India deliver the clothes
within 24 hours.
We also have a very cryptic, virtually foolproof system of laundry
tagging to assure that it is returned to its owner.
