Minor question!

[conuly]

In GoF, FakeMoody asked Dobby to pick up some of his robes for cleaning. Fair enough, Dobby can't exactly be freed this way. But in the next book, we find out that just picking up clothing can free a house elf. Or at least, Hermione thinks so, and she's usually right. Besides, the elves all think it's insulting.

So. Until Dobby got there, who did the laundry? Who does the laundry in Malfoy's house? I can hardly imagine that they do their own.

I have absolutely no knowledge of HP, but might there not be a spell for cleaning clothes? Isn't that the general solution for most of the things there?
