"Not only is it expensive to buy clothes, it is even more expensive to wash clothes. I can't buy clothes that must be dry cleaned later. The cost of cleaning is higher and higher.

　　 Why: the disaster caused by rising raw materials?

"This year, not only the price of professional dry cleaning oil has increased by 500 yuan to 600 yuan per barrel, but the price of special detergent and other raw materials for laundry has also risen. Now the price increase of raw materials and energy such as four vinyl chloride dry cleaning liquid, cleaning agent and other raw materials and energy is the main reason for the increase of dry cleaning price. Many dry cleaning industry said. The main raw material used for dry cleaning is four vinyl chloride. Last year, a barrel of four vinyl chloride was about 5000 yuan, and this year, four vinyl chloride per barrel has nearly 6000 yuan. Coupled with the increase in the cost of rent and water and electricity, the collective price of dry cleaning industry has increased.

Many dry cleaners reflect that most of the raw materials such as detergents used in medium and high grade laundry are imported, almost all of which are downstream products of petroleum. The rise of oil prices and overseas transport prices directly affect the price trend of downstream products. "Five years ago, the rent rose from 1000 yuan to 2500 yuan now. In addition, utilities and wages were rising, so the price of dry cleaning could only go up." One dry cleaning shop owner said.
