HRS §507-13
Laundry and cleaning workers get a lien on your clothes
If you give clothes or household items to someone to launder, clean, dye, or press, that person automatically gets a legal claim (lien) on those items for the amount you owe. This claim comes before most other claims on the items, unless the worker knew about the other claim when you dropped them off.

This lien shall be prior to all other rights in or to the article or lot of articles of which the holder of the lien is without actual knowledge at the time of delivery thereof to the holder of the lien.
