ロボット掃除機が銭湯大掃除 “人手不足解消に” 東京 墨田区

年の瀬迫るなか、東京 墨田区老舗銭湯では、人手不足解消一役買おうとロボット掃除機が参加して大掃除行われました。

大掃除が行われたのは、東京 墨田区創業75年の銭湯さくら湯」で、慢性的人手不足課題となる中、ロボット掃除機を手がける会社からの申し出で、4台の掃除機が大掃除に参加しました。 経営者らが脱衣所のロッカーの上などのほこり払い落とすと、掃除機一斉動き出し、ほこり吸い取ったり水拭きたりして、きれいにしていました。

掃除が終わると、湯船にはゆず湯張られ、21日の冬至を前に常連客らが一足早く体を温めていました。 「さくら湯」を経営する新保卓也さんは「ロボットがあると一人ひとり負担減らせます。一気ほこり吸ってもらい助かりました。年末にかけて忙しい時期になりますが、ゆっくりお湯につかってもらえたらと思います」と話していました。
