Eggshell is tough
W/o some experience even tougher
If they are in the middle of the wall, not near cut-in, try a mini roller
Only go up and down with it (the painter should have gone that way)
If they are in the cut-in area, use a brush

How big can a laundry room wall be??
Paint the whole wall and sleep well

Some eggshell can touch-up, it will really be a matter of shade of color, and most importantly lighting, if you get natural light and can look down the wall then more than likely you will see the touch-up.
One trick that may work would be to cut in around the switch plates and roll out the wall. If it is good shade then hat band should not be an issue.
Of course you could just cut in and roll out the whole wall.
I get into some good sized homes with large laundry rooms, so its hard to say .
