Laundry Service in Ho Chi Minh City
— Same-Day Pickup

Yes. Tiệm Giặt 1988 collects from and delivers to any address in Ho Chi Minh City — hotels, hostels, serviced apartments, Airbnb rentals and offices alike. The fee is a flat 50,000₫ per pickup trip and covers the round trip however many bags travel on it, with no distance surcharge and no zone pricing. A courier is dispatched within five to ten minutes of a booking during business hours, which run 8 AM to 8 PM every day including Vietnamese public holidays and Tết. Most hotel receptions will hold a bag and hand it to the driver, so guests do not need to wait in the room — that is why the booking form asks for a room number. Send your hotel name, address and room number on WhatsApp, or fill in the form on this page, and the same courier brings the clean laundry back.

A two-night stay usually comes to three or four kilos, which sits inside the flat rate: 250,000₫ for the wash plus 50,000₫ for pickup and delivery, so 300,000₫ in total on the standard machine-dry service. The flat rate covers everything up to 5 kg, so a 3 kg bag and a 4.5 kg bag cost the same. Above 5 kg each extra kilo adds 50,000₫ — a 6 kg bag washes for 300,000₫ and a 7 kg bag for 350,000₫. Air drying and the three-hour express service both start at 400,000₫ under 5 kg and add 80,000₫ per kilo after that. Every bag is weighed at the shop and the exact figure goes back to you on WhatsApp before anything is washed, so the estimate on this page is a guide rather than a bill. A full price list sits on the laundry service page. Washing whites in their own cycle is an optional 30,000₫ on top, worth it when something new and dark is going in with pale cotton.

Payment happens on delivery, never upfront, and never through this website. The driver takes Vietnamese Dong in cash, or you can transfer from a Vietnamese bank account — Vietcombank, Techcombank, BIDV, MB, ACB and the rest all work. What Tiệm Giặt 1988 cannot accept is US dollars in cash, international credit or debit cards, and foreign transfer services such as Wise or Revolut, because a neighbourhood laundry in District 1 has no card terminal and no way to receive money from abroad. Visitors usually withdraw Dong from any bank ATM in the city before the driver arrives; withdrawal fees are typically 30,000₫ to 50,000₫ per transaction depending on the bank. If you would rather settle by transfer, ask on WhatsApp and the account details come back straight away. There is no deposit and nothing to pay when the driver collects the bag — money changes hands only when the clean laundry is back in your hands.

Express returns a load in three hours. The standard wash with machine drying takes six hours, and air drying for delicate fabrics takes eight, since fabric dries at its own pace and cannot be rushed with heat. Book before 3 PM and any of the three comes back the same day; after that the bag is returned the following morning. Express costs 400,000₫ under 5 kg and 80,000₫ per kilo above it, the same as air drying, and it works by moving your load to the front of the queue rather than by washing it differently. Travellers use it before a flight out of Tân Sơn Nhất or before a hotel checkout. Specialty work — dry cleaning, steam pressing, shoes — comes back the same day when the bag reaches the shop in the morning, and within 24 hours otherwise. You are also welcome to walk in and drop the bag off at 212B/C7 Bis Nguyễn Trãi, a ten-minute walk from Bến Thành Market, which saves the pickup fee entirely.

Yes. Tiệm Giặt 1988 steam presses áo dài, suits, vests and formal wear, and dry cleans leather, silk, wool and cashmere. These are the two services that cannot be quoted in advance, because the price depends on the fabric, the lining and the construction of the garment rather than on weight. Send a photo on WhatsApp and a price comes back before the driver is sent, so nothing is collected until you have agreed to it. Turnaround is the same day when the item reaches the shop in the morning, and within 24 hours otherwise. Shoes are cleaned at 250,000₫ a pair, covering sneakers, leather shoes and white soles; mattress toppers and pillow covers are 60,000₫ per kilo. There is more on fabrics and methods on the dry cleaning page. Wedding dresses and heavily beaded garments are handled case by case, so send photos early rather than on the day you need them back.
