How it's used
Most residential apartments in Hong Kong lack a dedicated laundry room due to space constraints, so people typically use a laundry machine in the kitchen or bathroom. The term is more commonly used to describe facilities in hotels, public housing estates, or commercial laundry services. When referring to a commercial shop where you drop off clothes for cleaning, people often prefer the term 洗衣舖.
