Ask the price of washing all kinds of clothes in Harbin laundry! (for reference)

Northeast Network March 22 News Now there are more and more laundries, and the prices are getting cheaper and cheaper. The dry cleaning prices of different laundries vary greatly. Some of them charge 35 yuan for dry cleaning a coat, while others only charge 10 yuan. The same is true of water washing. Some people accept washing a pair of trousers in 4 yuan, while others only want 1 yuan. What causes such a big difference in laundry prices? Recently, the reporter applied for a job as a laundryman, and found that in order to reduce costs, individual laundries repeatedly washed many clothes and dry-cleaned clothes sent by customers in a bucket of water, and lied about the secret of dry cleaning after ironing.

Laundry workers are mostly from their own families.

On June 8th, 65438, the reporter visited many dry cleaners in nangang district and found that there were few dry cleaners. In a dry cleaner, the boss told reporters that two people in a small dry cleaner are enough, one boss and one laundryman, and they usually use their families, because there are too many things to say about dry cleaning, and once something goes wrong, it will be difficult to do it. However, he recommended a dry cleaner run by his sister to the reporter and was looking for a laundry helper. The reporter followed the boss to this dry cleaner, which is about 10 square meter. There is a dry cleaning machine in the left corner of the room, an ironing machine in the right corner, and two rotating washing machines in the bathroom. The boss told the reporter that because my sister went out for a month and there was not enough manpower, the reporter could go to work at any time and only do washing work.

Wash 4 clothes in one bucket.

19, the reporter came to work in this dry cleaner. The boss asked the reporter to sort the clothes first. The method of sorting is to put light colors together and dark colors together. Wash the light color first, then the dark color, and finally wash the fluffy clothes. If you have underwear, just wash it together. Later, the boss picked up the sorted clothes and looked around. He found oil stains, so he took out a solution and brushed it with a brush. She told reporters that this is a dry cleaning agent, which is very expensive, with a barrel of more than 3,000 yuan. After the washing machine is started, all the light-colored clothes are poured in at one time, stirred for about 30 minutes, taken out and put into a large basin, rinsed with water pipes and dried. The reporter saw that there were still bubbles on many clothes. After drying, the boss started ironing. She teaches reporters while ironing clothes. It is better to iron clothes than to wash them well. No matter how clothes are washed, they should be ironed carefully. Many customers see if the clothes are flat. As long as it is flat, it feels good. Before the reporter released the washing water, she immediately instructed the reporter to pour the dark clothes into the washing machine. "This bucket of water can wash at least three or four clothes. It's a pity to dump it! " She said. Finally, the water in the washing machine has turned completely black. She told reporters that this level of water can only wash dark pants, so a basin of pants was poured in.

Dry cleaning machine becomes a signboard, hand washing and dry cleaning.

"Now the competition in the dry cleaning industry is so fierce that everyone keeps the price very low. A dry cleaning machine costs more than twenty thousand yuan. Not if you don't buy it. This is a signboard. It is troublesome to start the dry cleaning machine. Some dry cleaners simply spend thousands of dollars to buy a second-hand dry cleaning machine and put it in the store as decoration, which is basically unnecessary. Most people don't understand dry cleaning. When they saw a dry cleaning machine in the store, they thought it was dry cleaning. " The boss said so.

On the day the reporter went to work, several customers came to pick up the dry cleaning clothes. The boss said it wasn't enough. A male customer complained: "It has been delivered for four days, and it can't be washed. I need it tomorrow! " "The boss readily agreed," Well, I'll start the dry cleaning machine ahead of time, and tomorrow will be fine. "After the male customer left, the boss asked the reporter to wash the clothes quickly. She said, "This is wool. Hand washing. Don't rub hard. Don't soak. Take it out immediately after washing and I'll iron it. "The reporter washed the clothes according to the boss's instructions, but the stains were not removed. The boss took 84 disinfectant for treatment, but the treated part turned white, and the boss was not nervous at all. She said that if the customer questioned, he would say that the stain was finally removed with various potions, and it took a lot of effort, so he would not charge the manual fee. Other dry cleaners have not done this yet. After fooling, the customer will definitely leave with a smile.

The boss said that the collar and sleeves of woolen clothes must be ironed after washing, otherwise they will shrink easily. When the reporter asked what to do if something really went wrong, the boss said disapprovingly, "shrinkage is unpredictable, fading is difficult to identify, and no one can go to court everywhere for a dress." If you really can't shirk your responsibility, then lose some money. "

Dry cleaning liquid recovery

The main component of dry cleaning agent is tetrachloroethylene, which is a colorless and nonflammable liquid with "ether" taste. The process of dry cleaning is to put the clothes into the drum of the dry cleaning machine to rotate, pour the dry cleaning oil on the clothes from top to bottom, and then throw the oil out through the drum. At the same time, because there is a certain temperature in the dry cleaning machine, the remaining dry cleaning oil will dry out from the clothes, thus completing the dry cleaning process of the clothes.

The rule of dry cleaning is to dry clean clothes after 2 1, because the smell of dry cleaning agent is too strong to smoke customers. According to the boss, the cost per kilogram of tetrachloroethylene is about 10 yuan. For dry cleaning (about five or six short clothes), it takes about 200 grams of tetrachloroethylene, plus electricity, water, rent and labor. The cost of dry cleaning a suit is at least 5 yuan money, but now the general charge is around 6 yuan, so the profit of dry cleaning a suit is very low. Most laundries don't use dry cleaning machines at all, and some bosses will reduce costs by recycling dry cleaning liquid even if they use dry cleaning machines.
