The Chinese search giant Baidu has invested 100 million US dollars in the laundry app Edaixi.
The app allows users to book a time for their dirty laundry to be collected and pay for the cleaning.
It is Baidu's latest investment in the Chinese online-to-offline market.
Online-to-offline services are those which allow users to do a real-world activity online, such as taxi-hailing and ticket-booking apps.
Baidu has been investing heavily in online-to-offline services in response to the increasing proportion of Chinese users accessing the internet from a mobile device.
