I was confused by the word "стирающими"
I would use the word "стиральными" insted of the "стирающими". It will be better if your description concerns of clothes only and of the “factory” which was mentioned by you has small or middle size.

You can use your variant if your description tells us about a big factory which has a possibility to make washing or cleaning of something big (more than any clothes).
