Whether you're visiting Vietnam for a short getaway or an extended trip, laundry is something every traveler ends up needing. One of the most common questions tourists have is: “How much does laundry cost in Vietnam?” Let’s break it down so you can budget better and avoid surprises.

💸 How Laundry Pricing Works in Vietnam

Most local laundry services — including Wash and Fold In Town — charge by weight (per kilogram) rather than by item. This makes it very affordable, especially compared to hotel laundry services that charge per shirt or pair of socks.

📊 Average Laundry Costs in Vietnam (2025)

  • 🧺 Standard Wash & Fold: 25,000 – 40,000 VND/kg (~$1 – $1.60 USD)

  • 🧥 Dry Cleaning: 100,000 – 150,000 VND/item depending on fabric

  • 👕 Express (24h): +30% - 50% surcharge

  • Super Express (8h): +50% - 100% surcharge

Prices may vary depending on the area (e.g., tourist-heavy spots vs. local neighborhoods), fabric type, and whether the service includes pickup and delivery.
