Whiteness

If you're looking for Whiteness, we’re right near the Amritha Hotel in the Thaycaud area of Trivandrum. It’s a pretty central spot, so there’s always something going on nearby. We’ve been operating out of this space for a while now. The humidity in Trivandrum can be tough, especially when we’re working with the steam and the water all day. Most of the time, the shop is full of the sound of washing machines or the hiss of the iron. It’s not a quiet or cool place to work, but we’re used to the heat. We don't have a big team, just a few local people who know how to handle different fabrics. The floor is usually wet in some spots, and there are piles of laundry waiting to be sorted. We don't have a fancy computer system to track everything; we mostly use a big ledger and some handwritten tags. Sometimes we get a bit behind when it rains for days and things don't dry as fast as we'd like. We don't spend money on fancy decorations or advertisements. Most people just find us because they live nearby or they're staying at the hotel. It’s a straightforward business. We take the clothes, we clean them, and we get them back to people. There’s no secret to it, just a lot of repetitive work and making sure we don't mix up the different orders.
