The flowchart illustrates how a commercial laundry service works. There are nine or ten steps involved in handling laundry, and the number of steps depends on the type of laundry.
After laundry is collected from suppliers, it is separated into towels and linen. Each type of laundry is loaded into laundry bags, which are then transported and loaded into a laundry machine. Following that, the washing cycle begins, and it takes two hours from start to finish. After washing, water is partially drained from the laundry by pressing, and the next stage is different for towels and linen. Towels are dried completely, whereas linen is only partially dried. The half-wet linen is then ironed. In the final step, laundry, including both towels and linen, is transported to the folding machine.
Overall, the entire process is very similar for the two types of laundry. The only step that differs relates to the level of dryness of the laundered fabric.

The provided flow chart gives information about the stages of the laundry service works. Overall, it is evident that the process consists of several steps. It commences with laundry gathered from the provider, and ends up with it is moved to the folding machine.
To begin with, the laundries which are towels and linens are collected from different places and divided into fabric types. After that, dirty parts are put into the baskets as well as they are transferred to the cleaning center and they are started to washing process by the machine. The cleaning stage took two hours.
According to the next step, all laundries are dried by pressing the machine. While towels are dried wholly, linens have stayed a little wet because they need to be ironed. Finally, all parts are forwarded to the folding machine and The cycle of laundry service is finished with the last step.
Here is some feedback you may find useful: The sentence starting with “Overall…” should be moved to a separate, Overview paragraph. ‘Laundries’ is incorrect, it is an uncountable noun. “Dirty parts’ should be ‘dirty items’. There are some more errors, and it would be beneficial for you to get feedback from a teacher listing all the issues, so that you can work on them and improve.
