Hi @Ewaade_3A yes they have face this problems many times mostly clothes went missing but after looking into this problem they have made a laundry card in which they have a proper count how many clothes came and went back.
Group of people work together so that they can avoid such kind of problems.
This is world largest laundry can you believe this 
Would you like to visit here one day?

Hello @Pratik_89 ,
Thanks for sharing this interesting post about Dhobi ghat with us! Your first photo is my favorite!
It is indeed an impressive place and it says a lot about Mumbay and its life. Can anyone go and wash their own clothes themselves?
