Laundry Dry Cleaning Service

Most hotels provide same day service for laundry dry cleaning and pressing. Most 4 and 5 star hotels provide an iron and ironing board in your room for pressing.

There will be forms for completion and bags for the laundry and dry cleaning in the cupboard in your room. You will need to fill in your name, room number, itemize the items you are sending out for cleaning (by ticking the boxes) and nominate if it is to be laundered or dry cleaned. Finally there will be a ”special instructions” box. This is for any notes you wish to inform the laundry of. You will need to sign the form. Sometimes there are several copies of the form, one may be for you to keep as your record. If this is the case, it will be nominated on the form as to which form is for you.

If you have laundry and dry cleaning, it is probably best to minimize confusion to use 2 bags and 2 forms – one for the laundry and one for the dry cleaning. The same approach goes for pressing.

Put the cleaning and the form in the bag/s. Call housekeeping to let them know to pick it up. Make sure housekeeping gives you clear instructions as to what to do with the laundry. If you are not going to be in the room when the housekeeper comes to pick up the laundry they may require you to leave the bag/s inside your room or may ask you to put it outside your door. It is always best to follow these instructions in case of theft.

Generally, they will ask you to have the cleaning available prior to 9am for returning by the end of the day. This will also be outlined on the form.

There may be an express service and there may be a pressing service (usually 2 or 3 hours). The surcharge for express service is usually twice as much as the regular service.

Hot Tip: Saving money. Sometimes hotels provide laundry and dry cleaning services externally to the hotel, as in people in the neighborhood will use the service. This is usually administered through the hotel shop, where they sell souvenirs. magazines and supplies (like toothpaste, etc). If you drop your laundry and drycleaning in here to collect it later, you will save 30-50% on in room laundry and dry cleaning services. You will have to drop it off and collect it but it is a significant savings. Check if your hotel has laundry and drycleaning available through the shop! Remember to present your hotel loyalty card to ensure you accumulate points on the money you spend here

Alternatively, you can use a laundry/dry cleaning service in the neighborhood. This will be especially cost effective for “bag wash” (sometimes called “wash and fold”).
