Same Day Wash & Fold Laundry Pickup & Delivery at Palace Downtown
LPlaundry is an independent hotel laundry service, with no link to Palace Downtown or the hotel group. Hand your bag to our driver in the lobby, if the hotel allows it, and it comes back washed and folded within 24 hours. A 6kg bag is AED 65. A shirt pressed for tomorrow's meeting is AED 18, and a kandura is AED 15. Pickup and delivery are free.

Wash and fold for Palace Downtown guests
Wash & Fold is our answer to a suitcase full of worn clothes. Fill one bag with T-shirts, shorts, underwear, swimwear and gym kit, and hand it to our driver at Palace Downtown. It is washed, dried and folded and comes back within 24 hours. A 6kg bag is AED 65, whether it is half full or packed. It is budget-friendly wash and fold, with free pickup and delivery.

What a bag costs
| Bag or plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Bag up to 6kgA short break or a few days | AED 65 / bag |
| Bag up to 12kgA week or more away | AED 120 / bag |
| Essential monthly planFor a long stay in Dubai | AED 250 / month |
| Family monthly planFor a larger group staying on | AED 450 / month |
These prices are the same for every guest. For shirts and kanduras you want back on hangers, choose Clean & Press.
What goes into the bag
Everything you would normally wash at home goes in one bag. We bill the bag, not the pieces, so you do not need to count.
- Daily wear: T-shirts, shorts, trousers, underwear and socks.
- Holiday kit: swimwear, beach cover-ups and light dresses.
- Active clothes: gym tops, leggings and sports socks.
- Nightwear and loungewear: pyjamas, sweatshirts and joggers.
- Children's clothes: if you are travelling with a family.
Things that need pressing on a hanger, such as shirts and suits, are better in Clean & Press.
How a bag moves from lobby to lobby
Book on WhatsApp and say when you will be in the Palace Downtown lobby. The driver takes the bag there, if the hotel allows it, and brings it to our plant.
- We sort your clothes by colour and fabric.
- We wash each load in a machine used for your order only.
- Everything is dried on low heat and folded.
- The bag comes back to the lobby, usually within 24 hours.
You will get a message in the chat at each stage, so you always know where it is.
Clothes that suit a bag wash
Cotton, polyester, jersey and denim are all fine in a bag. They are the clothes you wear every day on a trip, and they come back soft and folded.
If a piece has a care label that says hand wash only, or it is silk or beaded, set it aside. Put it in with Clean & Press, or message us a photo of the label and we will tell you where it should go.
What does not belong in the bag
Some things are better handled one at a time, so keep these out of the bag:
- Suits, jackets and dresses that need a clean and a press.
- Silk, lace and anything with beads or sequins.
- Kanduras, abayas and ghutras, which have their own prices.
- Leather, suede and anything marked dry clean only.
- Towels and sheets that belong to the hotel, which stay in the room for housekeeping.
If you are unsure, ask us in the chat before you pack.
How we care for your clothes in the wash
We read the care labels first. Most everyday clothes go in at the temperature the label allows, usually a cool or warm wash, and we keep dark and light colours apart so nothing runs.
Your bag has a machine to itself, so your clothes are never mixed with someone else's. The detergent is commercial-grade but gentle and hypoallergenic, and it is rinsed out fully.
Drying is on low heat. That keeps cotton from shrinking and elastic from going slack, which matters when you only packed a few favourite pieces.
Each item is then folded by hand, ready to go back in the suitcase.
Handing over and collecting at the lobby
The driver meets you in the Palace Downtown lobby, if the hotel allows it. Please tell the front desk we are coming, and put your name on the bag so it reaches the right person.
If you would rather leave the bag with the concierge or bell desk, ask them first. We only collect from there with their agreement.
Our drivers do not go up to rooms. When your laundry is ready, it returns to the same lobby, and we message you when the driver is on the way.
Plans for longer stays
If you will be in Dubai for weeks, a monthly plan can be cheaper than single bookings. Your collection falls on a fixed day, so you do not rebook each time.
- Essential: AED 250 a month, suited to one person.
- Family: AED 450 a month, for two or more travellers.
- No plan: a single bag is AED 65, whenever you want one.
Ask on WhatsApp and we set it up in the chat.
Timing, stains and special requests
Most bags come back within 24 hours. That is our next-day laundry service. If you need it sooner, book before 2 PM and ask for express laundry delivery, which takes 5 hours where your address is covered. That is as close as we get to a same-day laundry service, and we check coverage before you rely on it.
Tell us if there is a stain and what caused it. We treat marks by hand before drying. If you are flying out, put your departure time in the booking. We will say honestly whether it can be done, and we will not promise a time we cannot keep.
Clean and press for shirts, suits and kanduras
Clean & Press is for the clothes you need to look sharp: a shirt for a morning meeting, a suit for a wedding, a kandura or abaya for dinner. Each piece is cleaned the way its label allows, steamed and pressed by hand, and returned on a hanger. A shirt is AED 18 and a kandura is AED 15. Pickup and return at Palace Downtown are free.

What Clean & Press includes
Guest dry cleaning here means each piece is looked at on its own. We read the care label, check the collar, cuffs and underarms, and treat any mark by hand.
- Cleaning: done the way the label allows, not in a bag with other clothes.
- Steaming: by hand, to lift creases without a harsh shine.
- Pressing: collars, cuffs and pleats set sharp.
- Hanging: every piece returns on a hanger, in a cover.
The result is something you can wear straight from the hanger in the lobby to a meeting.
From lobby to hanger in four steps
- Message us the list and the time you need it back.
- The driver collects from the Palace Downtown lobby, if the hotel allows it.
- We clean, steam and press each piece by hand.
- Your pieces return to the lobby on hangers.
You get a message in the chat at each stage.
Which clothes it suits best
This is the service for clothes that should look sharp, not just clean.
- Work shirts and blouses for a meeting.
- Suits, blazers and trousers.
- Kanduras, ghutras, jalabiyas and kurtas.
- Everyday abayas in crepe or nida.
- Evening and wedding dresses, for dinner at Thiptara or a night at the Dubai Opera.
- Linen and cotton shirts that crease in the suitcase.
If you pack a lot of formal wear for a week, send the whole list in one message and we will price it.
What to send elsewhere
Everyday T-shirts, shorts and gym kit do not need pressing. Put them in a Wash & Fold bag. Delicate or dry-clean-only pieces belong on the dry cleaning page.
How each piece is cared for
White kanduras are kept away from colour, and we check the collar and cuffs, where marks collect in the heat. Crepe and nida abayas are washed gently and pressed on low heat with steam, so the black stays deep.
Suit jackets are cleaned as the label says and then shaped on a hanger. Shirts get a sharp collar and cuffs, with the body steamed flat.
Fabrics that mark easily, such as silk, are pressed through a cloth. We read the label of every piece first, and we message you if something looks risky.
Pickup and return from the lobby
The driver meets you in the Palace Downtown lobby, if the hotel allows it, and returns your pieces there on hangers. Let the front desk know we are coming.
How long Clean & Press takes
The standard return is within 24 hours. Delicate pieces can take longer, and we tell you when you book. For a meeting tomorrow, book as soon as you know about it and put the meeting time in the notes. Express, where your address is covered, takes 5 hours if you book before 2 PM.
Stains and special requests
Tell us about a mark when you book, and what caused it. Wine, sunscreen, coffee and sweat each need a different treatment.
You can ask for a front crease on trousers, a lighter press on a delicate piece, or a particular order for hangers. Leave a note in the chat and we pass it to the team.
If something cannot be fixed, we tell you before the piece goes back to the lobby.
Plans for a longer stay
- One-off bag
One bag, whenever you need it
Pay for one bag when you need it. It suits a short trip, a weekend, or the day before you fly home. There is no plan to sign up for.
- Essential plan
One bag a week, billed monthly
A set collection day and one bill each month. It suits a business trip that runs over several weeks, because you do not rebook every time.
- Family plan
Two bags collected each week
Two bags a week, for a family holiday or a group sharing a stay. One monthly price covers the lot, and the bags are collected on set days.
Why guests choose LPlaundry
What a stay at Palace Downtown does to your clothes
A few days in Dubai heat leaves shirts creased, gym kit damp and pool clothes smelling of chlorine. Dubai's balcony rules mean you cannot dry washing outside either, so send it to us.
-
We read the labels
Every care label is checked before a piece goes in the machine, so a delicate shirt is not washed like a towel.
-
Stains come first
We treat marks by hand before the wash and before any heat, since a dryer can set them for good.
-
Colours stay apart
Whites, lights and darks are washed separately, so a red swimsuit does not touch your white shirts.
-
Gentle detergent, rinsed out
We use a mild, hypoallergenic, biodegradable detergent, and rinse it out fully so nothing sits on your skin afterwards in the heat.
-
A machine just for you
Your order goes in its own machine, so your clothes are never washed with another guest's laundry.
-
A clean drum every time
The drum is clean before your clothes go in, and low-heat drying keeps fabric soft and in shape.

Laundry at Palace Downtown, your questions
What is wash and fold for Palace Downtown guests?
It is washing priced by the bag, not by the piece. You pack everyday clothes in one bag and hand it over in the lobby. We wash, dry and fold everything, and it comes back within 24 hours. A 6kg bag has one flat price, whatever is inside, and the flat-rate laundry bags suit a week of holiday clothes.
- Wash and fold: one price per bag
- Folded so it repacks easily
- Shirts and suits go to Clean & Press
Can you collect laundry from the Palace Downtown lobby?
Yes, if the hotel allows it. Our driver meets you in the lobby, so let the front desk know. Send the hotel name and a time on WhatsApp. This is a doorstep laundry pickup, done at the lobby, and the driver does not go up to rooms. Your clothes come back to the same place.
- Lobby handover, hotel permitting
- Pickup and delivery cost nothing
- Put your name on the bag
Can I get same-day hotel laundry at Palace Downtown?
Sometimes. Express laundry delivery takes 5 hours when you book before 2 PM and your address is covered. Message us the hotel name first and we check. Without express the next-day laundry service applies, with most orders back within 24 hours. If you fly out soon, give us your departure time.
- Book before 2 PM
- Coverage checked first
- Tell us your flight time
Is LPlaundry part of Palace Downtown?
No. We are an independent laundry service with no link to the hotel or Address Hotels. You can choose any outside laundry for your own clothes. Anything the hotel owns, such as its towels and robes, stays in your room and should not go in our bag.
- Independent of the hotel
- Your own clothes only
- Hotel linen stays in the room
Can my shirts and suit be pressed in time for a meeting or dinner?
Usually, yes. Standard Clean & Press returns within 24 hours. Book as soon as you know about the meeting and put its start time in the notes. If tomorrow morning is too soon, ask for express, which takes 5 hours where your address is covered. We tell you honestly if a time cannot be met.
- Put the meeting time in the notes
- Pieces return on hangers
- Express where covered
What happens if an item is lost or damaged?
We pay up to ten times what you paid to clean it. So a piece that cost AED 20 to clean is covered up to AED 200. Clothes that were already damaged, or have no care label, are cleaned at your own risk. If something worries you, tell us when you book and we look first.
- Cover up to 10x the cleaning price
- No label or old damage: your risk
- Tell us about worries when you book
What does laundry cost for guests, and are there hidden fees?
A 6kg bag is AED 65 and a 12kg bag is AED 120. Pressed pieces are priced each, from a shirt to a kandura. Pickup and delivery are free and there are no hidden fees, which keeps it a best price laundry service for a stay.
- Bags are one flat price
- Pressed pieces priced each
- Pickup and delivery are free
How do guests pay for laundry at Palace Downtown?
By a secure payment link sent to your phone. After the driver checks your items, we text you an online invoice. You can pay by debit or credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. We do not take cash or cards in the lobby. Your clothes go out for delivery once the invoice is paid.
- Secure link sent by text
- Cards, Apple Pay or Google Pay
- No cash or cards in the lobby
Is there a deal for a long stay at Palace Downtown?

- Essential: one bag a week
- Family: two bags a week
- Change or stop in the chat
What detergent do you use if I have sensitive skin?
We use a mild, biodegradable detergent, hypoallergenic and with a very light scent. It is rinsed out fully. Each order is washed in a machine of its own, and the drum is cleaned between orders. If you or your children have allergies, tell us when you book and we make a note.
- One machine per customer
- Mild and biodegradable
- Tell us about any allergies
