Dali is a place people mean to stay a few days and end up staying weeks. The stone streets of the Old Town, the Three Pagodas under the Cangshan mountains, a bike ride around Erhai Lake. Guesthouse washing machines are often shared, slow, or missing altogether. Easy Life Laundry collects your laundry from your guesthouse or home and brings it back washed, dried and folded.
How the Price Is Worked Out
There is no item-by-item list. You fill one bag with clothes, towels and sheets, we weigh it after pickup, and the total comes straight from the scale.
| Weight | Price |
|---|---|
| First 3 kg | ¥98 |
| Each kg after that | ¥28 |
| Example: a 5 kg bag | ¥154 |
Pickup and delivery are billed separately, from ¥68 depending on where you are in Dali. Send your address and we confirm the fee before anything is booked. The minimum order is ¥150.
Hotel Laundry, a Laundromat, or This?
Most visitors to Dali end up choosing between per-garment hotel prices and a laundromat with instructions only in Chinese. One is expensive, the other eats an afternoon. Sending it out by weight is cheaper than the first and easier than the second.
From Your Door and Back Again
You tell us where you are in Dali and when to come, using our booking page, a call or WeChat. A driver collects the bag. We wash it, dry it properly and fold everything, then return it to the same place, usually the next day.
If your schedule is tighter than that, same-day return is available for an extra 50% on the standard price. Book early in the day for that.
What Makes It Easier
You know the price before you start, you don’t have to carry anything, and you can book in English. For backpackers mid-trip, it is the easiest way to reset a rucksack. For long-stay visitors and digital nomads, it becomes part of the weekly rhythm.
This tends to suit:
- Travellers staying in Dali Old Town or around Erhai Lake
- Long-stay visitors and digital nomads
- Cyclists coming back from the lake with dusty clothes
- Guesthouse guests without a washing machine
What Goes in the Bag
T-shirts, polo shirts, underwear, socks, pyjamas, gym clothes, jeans, leggings, towels and bed sheets. Wash and fold doesn’t include stain treatment or ironing, and it isn’t for delicate fabrics. Shirts you want pressed, suits, silk, wool and anything stained go through our per-item dry cleaning and laundry instead. You can send both in one pickup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the price really only based on weight?
Yes. We weigh the full bag after pickup: ¥98 for the first 3 kg, then ¥28 for every kilogram after that. Nothing in the bag is priced by item.
How long does it take to get my laundry back?
Next day is the standard turnaround, and wash and fold is always back within 1 to 2 days. Yes. Same-day return is available for an extra 50% on the base price, if you book early in the day.
Do you pick up from hotels and apartments across Dali?
Yes. We collect from Dali Old Town, Xiaguan and many guesthouses around Erhai Lake. The exact pickup and delivery fee depends on your location and is confirmed before booking.
Can towels and bed sheets go in with my clothes?
Yes. They are weighed and washed as part of the same order. Let us know about anything delicate when you book, so we can handle it separately.
Do I need to sort my clothes first?
No. Put everything in one bag. We sort by colour and fabric before washing.
