Why use Giặt Ơi! at Mai House Saigon?
Mai House attracts travelers specifically choosing to NOT stay at Marriott/Hilton/Hyatt — they want authentic local luxury. Our locally-owned service (not a hotel chain offering) fits this ethos. Plus Mai House's in-house laundry is competent but they're a small boutique without 24/7 staffing — concierge-to-driver handoff via WhatsApp gives them an efficient alternative.

Pricing realistically — what should you expect to pay?
The actual cost depends on what you have to wash, not how the hotel does the math. Honest examples:
- 3-day trip, light packer (3kg load): 5kg minimum applies → 150,000đ ($6) Standard / 250,000đ ($10) Express
- 5-7 day trip, typical (5kg load): 150,000đ ($6) Standard / 250,000đ ($10) Express
- Family of 4 across 4 days (12kg): 360,000đ ($14) Standard / 600,000đ ($24) Express
- Business traveler with one suit (dry clean) + 3kg general: ~150,000đ general + 150,000-220,000đ dry clean = ~$12-15 total
- Whites separated to prevent yellowing: add 80,000đ flat to the order ($3)
Mai House Saigon-specific frequently asked questions
Mai House is a Vietnamese-owned boutique — is Giặt Ơi! also Vietnamese-owned?
Yes — Giặt Ơi! is 100% Vietnamese-owned (Công Ty TNHH Giặt Ơi), founded 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City. We're a fellow locally-owned alternative to chain solutions. Many Mai House guests appreciate this — supporting Vietnamese small business across their travel choices.
I'm on honeymoon and want my dress preserved/special-care after the trip?
Yes — wedding dress preservation is a specialty. Via our partner dry cleaner: full inspection, hand-cleaning of stains (champagne, dirt, food), boxing in archival materials. 800,000-1,500,000đ ($30-60) depending on dress complexity. Takes 1-2 weeks (longer than regular). Worth it for keepsake preservation.
Mai House is quiet luxury — discreet pickup is important. How?
Standard for our Mai House service. Driver arrives at the side service entrance (concierge will direct), bag exchange takes 30 seconds, no lobby buzz. Many Mai House guests prefer this — we coordinate via WhatsApp without involving the main reception flow.
I have linen and cotton from a local tailor — care?
Vietnamese tailor pieces (linen suits, silk áo dài, cotton shirts) are common at Mai House. We have dedicated processes for each: linen at 30°C low-heat dry, silk hand-wash, cotton standard with stiffening only if requested. Tailor pieces always returned on hangers, not folded, to preserve fit.
My partner and I are sharing — can we do separate bags but one billing?
Yes. Most-common: two bags labeled "Mr. X" and "Ms. Y" go in together; we process each separately (no cross-mixing) but bill as one order at 5kg minimum total. Many honeymoon couples do this. Same pricing.
Will laundry be done before our anniversary dinner at M Lounge?
Yes — Express 4-hour is built for this. Book by 4 PM, clothes back by 8 PM. M Lounge dinner reservations typically 6:30-8:30 PM, so plenty of time. Note "anniversary dinner [time]" in your WhatsApp and we prioritize the slot.
