Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

In this case, "get" is linked to the action of "pajama cleaning." He doesn't clean his pajamas himself, so the speaker has used "get" to indicate the action of receiving the service from someone else. You can think of "get" as being used in a similar way to "have": "Why do you have your pajamas cleaned every two days?" Ex: I get my car washed every Sunday. Ex: Can you get your sister to wash the dishes?
