A well-timed wash lets you reuse clothes during your stay. Before handing over a bag, choose between a full service and a machine you operate yourself.
Useful questions
- Is the price per kilogram, item or cycle?
- Are drying and folding included?
- When can you collect the clothes, and will the business be open?
Look after your belongings
Photograph the receipt and keep delicate items separate. Follow care labels rather than assuming hot drying suits everything. For hand-washing, ask where clothes may be hung and leave enough drying time before packing.
FAQ
When should I arrange a wash?
