During the pandemic I thought it was because they were getting more money by not working. Now I’m not sure why.

No, I don’t want unknown people touching my stuff and I don’t know who you are or if I’ll ever see my stuff again. OTOH you could contract with your local laundry service for pickup and delivery so I know you’re working for a company who’s licensed and insured if something goes wrong. You might have to get insurance too.

The oldest business idea ever.
