bucato

Explanation:
Ho sempre utilizzato e sentito usare Laundry per indicare "panni da lavare", tanto biancheria quanto indumenti.

Consultando qualche vocabolario, nulla conferma il significato di biancheria. Vedi per esempio la defizione dal sempiterno American Heritage:
LAUNDRY: 1. Soiled or laundered clothes and linens; wash. 2a. A commercial establishment for laundering clothes or linens. b. A room or an area, as in a house, for doing the wash.

Quindi direi \"articoli per il bucato\"

attrezzatura per il bucato

Explanation:
tipo bacinelle, mollette, stendini.
Non è affatto detto che si tratti di biancheria altrimenti, per quale motivo dicono "a set of towels"?
Se fosse biancheria da letto avrebbero detto "set of bed linen" oppure "set of sheets".
