Laundry Attendant Cover Letters are brief summaries of the most important and relevant skills of a laundry attendant. This summary provides the first glimpse of the applicant's competencies to the recruiter and, therefore, has to be carefully composed. It should hit all the right spots in order to impress the recruiter in the correct way. A thorough reading of the job advertisement is necessary in order to understand the precise requirements of the recruiter. The candidate will benefit if he finds some information about his potential employer. He can then phrase his letter in a manner that answers the recruiter's questions.
Laundry Attendants handle the cleaning of fabrics used in industry, household, or at other places. The candidate must be well versed with the entire cleaning process of the area he specializes in. Laundry Attendants may clean either or all of the following fabrics: leather, cotton fabrics, fine linen, suede, woolen fabrics etc. The applicant must know the detergents and solvents used for cleaning of different fabrics, the procedure for application of cleaners, setting times of these cleaners, manual cleaning, brushing, or dusting that has to be employed in certain cases; and the operation of washing machines.
Laundry Attendant Cover Letter needs to bring out the candidate's familiarity with all these aspects. What also needs to be highlighted is the candidate's ability to judge the nature of the blots or unclean spots on the fabric and choose the appropriate cleaning procedures and materials. A certain amount of discretion developed through experience and informal association in any job that does not require much technical expertise, needs to be strongly pointed at. This will set the job application on a completely different footing than other ordinarily composed applications and vastly improve the chances of the applicant in moving towards his goal of obtaining the job.
Here is an example of laundry attendant cover letter:

Dear Mr. Alexander,
This is with reference to your advertisement in the "Dallas Sun", dated November 28, 2011, inviting applications for the post of a laundry attendant in your esteemed organization. I have over five years of experience as a laundry attendant. I am looking for an opportunity to work with an organization that is known to be the best laundry service provider in the city of Dallas for the quality and range of services offered.
During my five years of experience, I have familiarized myself with all the responsibilities of this position. In these five years of experience, I have handled washing and dry cleaning of all kinds of fabrics including cotton garments, woolen garments, rugs, and blankets; suede, leather, draperies, fine linen, and industrial and domestic fabrics. I am completely aware of all kinds of detergent powders and cleaning solvents, the procedures employed to clean different types of industrial and household fabrics, and the operation of different types of standard washing machines. My area of specialization is the cleaning of industrial fabrics through appropriate use of cleaning solvents and a judicious mix of manual and machine cleaning operations.
Technically speaking, I have a high school degree that I completed as an external student while I was working. Presently, I am pursuing certification related to chemical cleaning solvents as an external student from University of Texas, Dallas. This will provide a theoretical foundation for my profession. I come highly recommended and I will produce these letters of recommendation on demand.
It will be a pleasure to work with one of the shining stars in this profession. I have attached my resume with this letter. You can contact me on the telephone number or email address mentioned above.
