The shared washing machine has a large capacity and can be dried.
Yesterday, the reporter from Labor newspaper came to Lecheng, Zheng Da, located in Longhua Middle Road, Xuhui District, and found this shared washing machine in a conspicuous position on the first floor of the open-air square. At noon on weekdays, many pedestrians stopped to look at it, and some people took out their mobile phones to take pictures. "There are bicycles and charging treasures. Now it is a washing machine. I don't know what I will share in the future? " Some citizens laughed at reporters.
The reporter carefully looked at this washing machine, which is actually composed of three drum boxes. Seen from the right, there are two washing machines with the capacity of 8kg and 18kg, and the dryer with the capacity of 18kg is on the far left. According to the explanation, 8 kg washing machine charges 20 yuan, 18 kg washing machine charges 40 yuan, and the drying fee is 10 yuan. The washing time of the two volumes is 30 minutes, and the drying time is 15 minutes. In addition to cash, payment methods also support WeChat and Alipay payment.
"The starting point is good. After all, the washing machine at home is not powerful, so it is difficult to wash large pieces. In addition, it is estimated that some young people have no time or conditions to wash, which is also a solution. " A woman interviewed said.
Health and safety attract public attention.
"Every morning, people come to use it. They clean and dry curtains, sheets and other heavy and difficult items. There are both old aunts and young people, but in general, there are not many people, and more is to see. " A clerk facing the washing machine told reporters.
The reporter learned that whether the shared washing machine is hygienic and whether it will cross-infect bacteria is the main reason for the public to wait and see. "I'm worried that it is unsanitary and may be cross-infected. "An old aunt told reporters that she was worried that after the last user's clothes were cleaned, some bacterial stains would remain in the drum and then be passed on to the next user. Many passers-by also expressed the same concern.
"There should be a table around, otherwise the wet big pieces will not be put out." Ms. Ye believes that sharing washing machines needs to be followed up in the follow-up supporting and site selection. "After all, this is a public place like a shopping mall. I think it's embarrassing to come and wash in underwear. "
Operator: in the future or aiming at large communities.
According to the telephone number reserved on the shared washing machine, the reporter of Labor contacted the enterprise that promoted this washing machine. Sun, director of the marketing department of the enterprise, told the reporter that all the equipment for sharing washing machines was imported from France. At present, there are two sets in Shanghai, one in Lotus Supermarket (Yanggao Middle Road Store) and the other in Lecheng, Zheng Da.
"Many citizens' washing machines have relatively small capacity, do not have the ability to wash large pieces, and lack the function of instant drying. For example, these shared washing machines can help in the case of water and power failure. "Director Sun introduced that according to the observation in the trial operation stage, Shanghai residents used shared washing machines to clean curtains and carpets.
However, he also admitted that the operating cost of sharing washing machines is high. Considering the objective factors such as high operating costs, at this stage, it is mainly to cultivate the consumption concept of the market, and will not be put into mass production. After all, the popularity of this shared washing method in China is not high. "The main thing is to let everyone know what shared laundry is, and health and safety can also be guaranteed." Director Sun revealed that in the future, some large residential communities will be selected for sharing washing machines to provide laundry services for the citizens.
