With the arrival of autumn and winter, cotton-padded clothes and quilts come into great use, but what should be done if the thick clothes worn last year have not been cleaned? Laundry, which seems like a simple task, can be difficult for impoverished elderly living alone. To address this, Yangcheng Evening News, Guangzhou Volunteer Federation, and Tiantian Laundry jointly launched a public welfare service initiative, holding the "Caring for Empty-Nest Elderly, Daily Laundry with Love" — a free laundry event for empty-nest elderly in Guangzhou communities during the 2015 Mid-Autumn and Double Ninth Festivals. From September 6 to October 20, over 10,000 pieces of clothing from 2,000 empty-nest elderly households in 8 districts of Guangzhou will be cleaned for free. Tiantian Laundry will open twenty chain stores in subways and on streets, each accepting twenty elderly people daily with two pieces of clothing per person. The total number of clothes cleaned for free by the chain stores will exceed 10,000 pieces, and this event will clean over 20,000 pieces of clothing for Guangzhou's elderly in total.
At the event launch ceremony, laundry experts from Tiantian Laundry explained clothing care knowledge to the elderly. Eighty elderly people, accompanied by 20 volunteers and several staff members, visited Tiantian Laundry's central washing factory to learn about the laundry production line process.
It is reported that last year Tiantian Laundry successfully cleaned over 10,000 pieces of thick clothing for empty-nest elderly in Guangzhou. This year, Tiantian Laundry will extend the free laundry service period and also carry out free laundry activities for empty-nest elderly in some communities in Zengcheng District, allowing more elderly people to have the opportunity for free laundry.
The scope of this free laundry event has expanded from the original 6 old districts last year to 8 districts this year. The event has received strong support from the Yangcheng Metro Corporation.
Some elderly people worry whether the laundry factory can clean their clothes thoroughly. In response, a relevant person in charge of Tiantian Laundry stated that after clothes are sent to the professional laundry factory, in addition to basic procedures such as washing, drying, and ironing, ultraviolet sterilization is also performed to basically remove bacteria and chemical residues from the clothes. Tiantian Laundry is currently preparing to build an intelligent central washing factory in Guangzhou. This factory will adopt a "visualized automated central laundry factory" model. Once clothes enter the washing process, customers will receive a text message notification and can watch the entire washing process through a mobile app or computer terminal.
