I am pretty sure the house-elves would do the laundry but so that no 
one notices, just like cleaning and cooking.  So they would pick up 
the laundry at night and by the morning it would be back clean.

That would make sense up until OotP. Dobby was telling Harry how the other house elves would not clean the Gryffindor common room because they were afraid they'd pick up some of Hermione's knitted hats.

The only plausible theory I can think of where both would be true is if somehow the house elves always knew the intent of the clothes-giving, even if the clothes are left there, like Hermione did.
