But once they return home, the hassle of cleaning their clothes sets in. Waterford-based Town Tub Coin Laundry is relieving parents burden by offering pickup and delivery of their campers' laundry [(248) 303-4755]. For the past six years, Town Tub owner Nick Philko has laundered the clothes each summer for many of Detroit's overnight camps. "Parents love having their children come home from camp, but they do not love having to deal with all that dirty laundry," said Philko. "Camp laundry can contain things like sand from the beach and occasion- ally a few bugs from the forerst. So it is best done at our commercial laundry?' Adrianne Seligman Katz from West Bloomfield says she uses Town Tub because of the convenience. "I have clean clothes back in drawers in less than 24 hours," said Seligman Katz.
