New: Iron by Weight Service in Hanoi — Bring Your Clean Laundry, We Iron It

What Is Iron by Weight?

Iron by weight is a service where you bring your own pre-washed laundry and we iron and fold everything for you, charged per kilogram. Unlike full laundry service, you handle the washing at home and we handle the part most people dread — the ironing.

This service is designed for people who already have a washing machine but don't have the time, equipment, or desire to iron. Based on our experience serving 10,000+ customers in Hanoi, we've found that ironing is the single most-hated laundry task — even among people who genuinely enjoy doing their own wash.

Whether you're an expat with a home washing machine, a business professional who needs crisp shirts for meetings, or simply someone who'd rather spend Sunday afternoon doing anything other than ironing, this service exists for you.

How Much Does Ironing Cost in Hanoi?

Mr.Bi Laundry's iron by weight service starts at 30,000 VND per kilogram for standard 24-hour turnaround. Express 6-hour service is available at 40,000 VND per kilogram. We are open 8AM to 10PM, 7 days a week.

Here's how our ironing service compares to our full laundry packages:

Pickup and delivery is available at 10,000 VND per kilometer (round trip — that covers both pickup and delivery). Or you can drop off and pick up at our shop for free.

Who Is This Service For?

Our customers tell us iron by weight fills a gap that no other laundry service in Hanoi was addressing. Here are the people who use it most:

• Expats with home washing machines — You already wash your own clothes, but ironing in Hanoi's heat and humidity is miserable. We've found that most expat apartments have a washer but no iron.
• Business professionals needing crisp shirts — A professionally pressed shirt makes a real difference in meetings. Our team irons an average of 200+ shirts per week, so the quality is consistent.
• Anyone who simply hates ironing — No judgment. Based on our experience, about 70% of our iron-by-weight customers say ironing is the one chore they'd happily pay someone else to do.
• Airbnb and serviced apartment hosts — Pressed bed linens and towels elevate your guest reviews. We handle bulk linen ironing at the same per-kg rate.

How Does Iron by Weight Work?

The process takes four simple steps from start to finish. Most customers have their ironed clothes back within 24 hours.

1. Wash your clothes at home. Use your own washing machine and detergent as usual. Make sure clothes are clean before bringing them in.
2. Message us on WhatsApp. Tell us you have an iron-by-weight order and whether you want pickup or drop-off. We respond within 15 minutes during operating hours (8AM–10PM).
3. We pick up or you drop off. Pickup costs 10K VND/km round trip. Drop-off at our shop is free. We weigh everything in front of you and confirm the price before starting.
4. We iron, fold, and return within 24 hours. Standard turnaround is 24 hours. Need it faster? Express 6-hour service is available for 40K VND/kg. We'll message you when it's ready.

Why Not Just Iron at Home?

We've found that most people in Hanoi skip ironing at home for good reasons. Here's what our customers tell us:

• Time savings: Ironing a typical 5kg load takes 60–90 minutes at home. Our professional team does it in a fraction of the time with better results.
• Professional quality: Commercial steam irons produce crisp, wrinkle-free results that are difficult to match with a home iron. We handle everything from cotton dress shirts to linen trousers.
• Affordable at 30K VND/kg: That's roughly 6,000–8,000 VND per garment — less than a cup of coffee at most Hanoi cafes.
• No equipment needed: A good steam iron costs 500,000–1,500,000 VND, plus an ironing board. At 30K/kg, you'd need to iron 17–50 kg just to break even on equipment costs.
• Vietnam's climate makes ironing unpleasant: Standing over a hot iron in 35-degree heat with 85% humidity is nobody's idea of a good time.

Tips for Best Results

Based on our experience processing thousands of iron-by-weight orders, here are tips to get the best results from the service:

• Bring clothes slightly damp. If your clothes are fresh from the washing machine and still a bit damp, that's actually ideal — slightly damp fabric irons more smoothly and produces better results.
• Separate delicates. Put silk, chiffon, or other delicate fabrics in a separate bag and let us know. We adjust iron temperature for each fabric type.
• Let us know about special fabrics. If you have items that require low heat or no-steam ironing, just tell us when you drop off. We mark each bag with care instructions.
• Group items by type. Shirts in one pile, trousers in another, linens separate. This helps us process your order faster and ensures consistent quality across all items.
