A laundress job is demanding and unusual. Morgan & Mallet International works with families who are looking to hire a laundress to complete their team.
Because of the delicate and fine clothing pieces and the care for designer clothing, it is necessary to have 3 to 5 years of experience in private families and not in hotels, because the type of fabrics and clothing being handled is not the same.
