Suka komen bawah tu.
Ramai boleh basuh baju, tapi tak semua orang boleh lipat kain. Haha.
Patut buka sebelah dobi layan diri. pic.twitter.com/N2H0DarbFR
The caption humorously read, "Laundry folding business. A lot of people can wash clothes, but not everyone has the patience to fold them! Haha. We should open this next to self-service laundromats." While the joke made light of the situation, the post struck a chord with many who were intrigued by the idea.
The screenshot shared alongside the post told the story of a woman who earns between RM500 and RM700 per week, working just three times weekly to fold laundry. What's even more eye-opening is that their top agent, who partners with homestays, raked in over RM7,000 last month by taking on folding contracts.
With over 600,000 views, the post quickly gained traction, sparking curiosity and conversation among netizens. Some expressed disbelief at the income potential from folding clothes, while others were inspired, discussing ways to get involved in the business.
The post highlights the growing trend of niche services, where people are willing to pay for tasks they either dislike or don't have time to do. In todays fast-paced world, outsourcing even the simplest household chores, such as folding laundry, has become increasingly popular. This business model taps into that need, offering a practical solution for busy individuals or companies like homestays that manage large volumes of laundry.
