Phnom Penh laundry and dry cleaning

Feeling dirty? Have a look at our list of the best laundry services and dry-cleaners in Phnom Penh.

If you’re up for doing your own laundry, washing machines can be bought new for less than $300 in Phnom Penh, and are often sold by departing expats for as little as $150. One of the wonderful things about the weather in Cambodia is that clothes on the line will dry very quickly. Another wonderful thing about Cambodia is how easy and affordable it is to have someone do your laundry for you! Below, find our choices for Phnom Penh laundry services and dry cleaning. Be aware, though, that most “regular” laundry places will only wash with cold water and dry their clothes outside, usually on the sidewalk. Our recommendations are a (slight) cut above.

Wash, fluff, and fold.  Modern Laundry has a long list of laundry services to choose from.

With a logo that features a monstrous sumo wrestler and a leaping killer whale, Modern Laundry is hard to miss. It offers a wide range of services, from the cheapest option of machine wash and no drying (take it home wet and hang it up) for 2000 riel per kilo, to same-day service with hand or machine wash and tumble dry with ironing for $5.5 per kilo. It’s less expensive if you don’t mind allowing your clothes to be washed with those of other customers. Modern Laundry also does dry-cleaning for $6.50 per piece. The laundry has several outlets around town, but this one is our favorite.

KT Laundry is a laundry service designed with the expat market in mind. It offers four-hour express service or 24-hour regular service. They wash with warm water (or cold, if you prefer) and use fabric softener and a tumble dryer. For an extra charge of $0.50 per kilo you can have your laundry washed individually, so that it doesn’t have to touch anyone else’s laundry. Prices start at $1 per kilo for regular service and $2 per kilo for express “individual” service. KT Laundry also offers pickup and delivery.

Eazy Laundry is a newish laundry service in BKK1 that offers affordable rates and home delivery. The cost is $1 per kilo, and you have the option of paying $2 per kilo to have your clothes washed individually (if you don’t want it mixing with some backpacker’s dirty duds), with ironing included and ready in 24 hours. If that’s not fast enough, they have ‘VIP express’ service that’s ready the same day.

The Hotel Cambodiana‘s popular dry cleaning service is the only one in town that expats trust. Some sample prices: suit, $10; necktie, $2.20; coat, $5.50; woman’s blouse, $4.50; cocktail dress, $7; sweater, $4. They also offer washing and ironing that is priced by the piece, so probably not worthwhile unless you’re on an expense account. There’s no need to go inside the hotel to get to the Cambodiana’s Laundry Shop; it’s accessible from the street.
