Most people come in, do one or two orders, and then leave the platform because it's just not
0:18
great on the washer side. Right now, they don't listen to
0:29
pretty much anybody. If you're going to use it or looking for a consistent service for
0:40
laundry, there are other platforms. Hi, guys. This is Isler and welcome to Fisk Consumer Channel. Today we will talk about a common
0:53
but no less part of our daily life, laundry. In this video we will try to figure out what is better dry cleaning or laundry. We'll also hear a
1:09
critical review from our user and a former partner of SatShare, a company which allows to hire an
1:14
independent contractor to wash, dry, fold or deliver laundry. But before we start, please make sure you

1:28
as many people as possible to see this video and keep them away from untruthworthy companies. Let's
1:35
Let's start! Both dry cleaning and laundry share a common goal – stain removal
1:47
However, there are several key factors that distinguish the two processes. We'll show you the difference between them so you can make the right choice
1:57
Dry cleaning uses a chemical solvent to rinse the clothing It called dry cleaning because no water is used in the process Laundry
2:11
cleaning, on the other hand, uses water as a solvent for washing powder or liquid detergent
2:21
Dry cleaning uses a chemical called perchloroethylene to remove stains and grease from the clothing
2:28
Perchloroethene or PCE is a common industrial chemical, but if spilled, PCE can leach into the groundwater and contaminate nearby water wells
2:41
Meanwhile, laundry uses soaps, washing powders and other detergents to remove the stains
2:47
When dry cleaning items that have been treated with chemicals are loaded into the dry cleaning machine drum
2:53
In the drum they are mixed and the perchlorothelone is removed with the help of special solvents
3:03
At the laundry, clothes are loaded into the washing machine where dirt and stains are removed
3:08
with water and washing powder. At the dry cleaning, clothes are dried right in the machine drum
3:13
And at the laundry, clothes are run out to remove excess water, then hung to dry or
3:19
loaded into a machine to dry them. Laundries specialize in washing, drying and ironing services
3:26
Customers use them to get their laundry back to its initial condition and remove moderate
3:32
soiling. Dry cleaners are technologists and they know the specifics of each material
3:37
so they can easily apply the right product that will effectively deal with the soiling
3:42
One way or another dry cleaners and laundry workers are professionals. The idea of the CEO
3:52
and co-founder of SatShare Morph Hotel was to focus on hiring unskilled workers. Unskilled workers
4:00
people who don sit behind the desk for a living people who work at restaurants in factories and fulfillment centers they want to work from home too They can because they don have the skills but what they do have is an underutilized washer and
4:14
dryer. You combine that with the SatShare app and voila you have the first ever manual labor work
4:21
from home gig in the world. Now SatShare is an Uber in the world of laundry. Its working principle
4:27
is simple. You download the app, order laundry and taking the dirty bag of laundry outside
4:33
Note that the minimum order price is $20. A such share partner takes your order and returns it next day washed and ironed
4:42
So what could possibly go wrong? Reviews from our users on peaceconsumer.com tell us that there are many things that can go wrong
4:50
8 out of 10 customers rated the service with 1 star out of 5
4:56
Our users complain about the speed of the service and damaged clothes
5:00
Ironically, the partners are complaining about the Sudshare too. According to them, the company is being dishonest
5:08
We'll learn more from Ben from Utah, who has worked with Sudshare and who has used their service
5:14
I actually was on both sides of Sudshare, both the consumer side and the gig worker contractor side, washer side
5:22
With the consumer side, it's been an inconsistent service, to say the least
5:30
The company has a lot of issues with the washer side, as I found out in the washer side
5:35
It greatly affects the consumer side. Main one being that they have such a high turnover rate that you're never able to get anything consistent back as far as the quality or the timeframes, any kind of really anything consistent
5:51
For example, they state that they have had 50,000 people sign up to be washers with such air
5:58
But on the active side of things because they have a social media presence and then they have their own community platform you can see there only 250 people active at any one time So that gives you kind of an idea of what their turnover rate is If they have 50 total signups and 250 people active
6:18
Most people come in, do one or two orders, and then leave the platform because it's just not great on the washer side
6:24
And that heavily affects the quality of work that is being done
6:28
and being received on the consumer side. And then, I mean, beyond that
6:32
It's, you know, you go on about, you know, the company's policies and things like that
6:38
I'm happy to do that. So what solution to this situation does Bans see
6:43
So for what they could do for me, I guess there's not a whole lot at this point
6:47
I'm kind of, I mean, I mainly move past it as far as, you know, my own personal feelings go
6:54
But I mean, there was just such a negative way that they ended things between us
6:59
They banned me from the platform out of nowhere. And it was just, it was not a great way to go and, or a way to handle being Lego
7:09
And, you know, there's just not a lot that can come back from that one
7:13
It just kind of dug their own gray with that. It's a great service. There's a lot of potential behind it
7:17
I really was behind it when I was a washer and I really enjoyed it. It was a lifesaver for us when we used the platform
7:23
We had just been through a house fire, didn't have any way to do laundry in our rental
7:28
And it was a huge, huge service that was helpful to us
7:36
But we quickly found out that it wasn't such a long-term solution
7:41
So, I mean, I would say that it's got a lot of potential. And if you're willing to stick it out, it could turn into something good
7:47
But executives, management, the Mortel family, you've got to really, really make some changes and get it there for people
7:56
because it could be great, but just so far falling very far short
8:01
Well, we hope that the SatShare will pay attention to what their users have to say
8:06
and start to change for the better. That's all for today. Thank you for watching and see you next time
