Which code does this activity belong in?
Linen Supply establishments provide rental or contract laundering of hospitality and healthcare linens, including table linens, bed linens, towels, and professional apparel worn by doctors, nurses, barbers, and beauticians. Industrial Launderers, by contrast, specialize in supplying laundered industrial work uniforms and protective clothing, along with dust control items such as treated mops and shop towels used in manufacturing and industrial settings. The distinction rests on customer type and end use: hospitality and healthcare facilities versus industrial workplaces requiring specialized protective apparel and contamination control.
