Swedish term or phrase: Tvättstört
Could anyone help with "Tvättstört"?

It crops up in the following sentence :

Följande tekniska system förses med kortläsare ingående i passerkontrollsystemet:
 Rörpost
 Tvättstört
 Sopsug

and appears in a document regarding the various alarm/monitoring systems to be installed in a building.
It is something to do with washing??
Thanks!
