The laundry also provides the service of repairing clothes, I often go there to have trousers cut short priced RMB10 one pair. This is a small mom-and-pop store, however this couple never forget to wear the uniform with their store LOGO. In addition to washing clothes, they also wash bags and shoes. Those washed sports shoes are packed in transparent plastic bags and put in the window, which looks like brand new, it’s really clean.
Though the price for cutting trousers is above average and you need to wait for one day to get the finished trousers, but I think it is worth: evenly lined with fine stitches, very professional, good things are worth waiting.
The husband said laundry is not as easy as people think. At first, good equipment is a must, he has invested RMB180,000+ including washing machine, drying machine, iron, boiler, etc. “Do you know how much this big stream iron cost?”, “It cost me RMB18,000!”. The clothes couldn’t be ironed in place without this big stuff. And this big iron requires for the steam from the boiler, the cost is too high if only a few clothes are ironed one time, normally we turn on the boiler and do ironing once a day, this is the reason you have to wait for one day.
“Secondly, laundry needs a lot of experiences and skills. Down jackets can only be wet-cleaned, because the dry cleaning agent will chemically react with the down and become brittle......"
Each career needs knowledge, experiences and skills, each people can become an expert on his career. Each career is worthy of respect. I love metal parts, it is artwork in my eyes. I am on the way to become an expert.
