Bagwash

/ˈbæɡwɒʃ/ noun

Definition

A laundry service where items are washed, dried, and returned in a bag without being ironed or folded.

Etymology

Compound of 'bag' and 'wash'. This British term emerged as commercial laundry services developed, describing a quick, affordable service for people on a budget.

Kelly Says

'Bagwash' is a wonderfully honest British term—you literally get your stuff back in a bag, unwashed of effort, and both the laundry and the customer knew exactly what to expect.
