Taobao Life, the local service arm of Alibaba’s e-commerce marketplace Taobao, wheeled out an on-demand laundry platform in conjunction with several washing service providers, including iLanmao, Ganxike, and Laundry Queen (our translation). To provide a high quality service, the platform works with quality logistics businesses, such as SF Express, according to the company. Already there’s ample competition with on-demand laundry services, and investors have started to realize the potential in this sector. As a continuation of its O2O expansion, Tencent invested in Edaixi, a service born out of time-honored brand Rong Chain Laundry, earlier this year. Taobao’s laundry service is launched as part of its local service platform which integrates various local life services like house cleaning, home appliance maintenance, law services, translation, and automobile service, among others.
