Laundromat business that also washes football clubs kits

Q: Is the business of a laundry who also washes t-shirts, shorts of football clubs (or other sports clubs) permissible? As these shirts may contain many a time animated objects, advertisements for haraam products, etc. and the shorts obviously do not cover the satr.

A: Yes, it is permissible. Wearing these types of clothing which have pictures of animate objects on them is makrooh, however washing them and taking a fee for this service is permissible. Nevertheless, it should be understood that it is not appropriate for you to wash such types of clothing that have pictures of animate objects on them, and hence we do not encourage you to accept washing such clothing.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
