"My swimsuit never dried" is one of the most common complaints after a Phu Quoc trip. The island is warm all year, and in the May–October rainy season humidity sits around 85–90%. Cotton hung on a balcony can stay damp for two or three days.

Why clothes start to smell

Clothes that stay wet for long pick up a musty smell. Sweat and sunscreen make it worse, especially if damp things go into a plastic bag or a closed suitcase. With kids or a family group, the pile grows fast.

Drying tricks in your room

  • Rinse swimwear in fresh water and hang it in the air-conditioned room right away. Never leave it bagged.
  • Roll wet items in a dry towel and press before hanging; they dry much faster.
  • Keep clean clothes in the wardrobe with the door slightly open, not in your suitcase.
  • Linen and quick-dry fabrics beat thick cotton.

When it still won't dry: use a tumble dryer

Hotel laundry usually charges per item. NightGo Laundry in Duong Dong charges by weight: wash, tumble dry and fold for 45,000₫ per kg (about US$1.75), ready in 3–4 hours, or express 55,000₫/kg in 1–2 hours. Everything comes back fully machine-dried.

  • Open 24/7, so you can drop clothes off in the evening.
  • Hotel pickup and delivery 8am–10pm, from 50,000₫ per order (both ways); we tell you the fee for your hotel first.
  • Want kids' clothes or whites washed separately? Add it to the order note. Each extra machine for splitting your clothes is 60,000₫; we message you the price first and only go ahead once you agree.
  • We weigh your clothes dry and always send you a photo of the scale with the total. Pay cash or bank transfer when clothes come back.

FAQ

Can I send swimwear? Yes, it's weighed with the rest. Ask in the note if you want it washed separately. Each extra machine for splitting your clothes is 60,000₫; we message you the price first and only go ahead once you agree.

Is it still humid in the dry season (Nov–Apr)? Less than in the rainy months, but beach days and sweat still create plenty of washing.
