A trip to Xiamen tends to revolve around the water — a ferry over to Gulangyu Island, a slow bike ride along the coastal road near Xiamen University, an evening on Baicheng Beach watching the sunset over the strait. None of that leaves much room for laundry, and doing it yourself usually means either an inflated hotel bill or trying to find a laundromat with no idea what the signs say. Easy Life Laundry handles it a different way — we come to you.
What You’re Actually Paying For
Not individual garments — weight. Your whole bag of laundry, clothes and towels and anything else that needs washing, gets weighed once, and that single number determines the price.
- First 3 kg: ¥98
- Each additional kg: ¥28
That’s the entire pricing structure. Pickup and delivery are billed on top, based on your location in Xiamen, and confirmed with you before you book.
Where the Usual Options Fall Short
Hotel laundry around Xiamen is typically priced per item, which adds up quickly, and it can take a day or more to get your clothes back. Doing it yourself means locating a laundromat — manageable in the city center, considerably harder if you’re staying on Gulangyu or somewhere less central, and frustrating either way if you don’t speak Chinese. This service is built to skip all of that.
How a Pickup Actually Works
You message [phone/WeChat] with your address in Xiamen and a time that works for pickup. Our team comes directly to you — hotel, apartment, guesthouse, wherever you’re staying — and collects the bag. From there, everything is washed, dried, and folded properly, then delivered back to the same address, typically the next day. If you need it sooner, a same-day rush option is available, adding 50% to the standard price.
Why This Tends to Stick as a Habit, Not Just a One-Off
The main draw is knowing the cost upfront, based on weight rather than guessing at a per-item total. There’s also nothing to carry yourself — no laundry bag on a ferry to Gulangyu, no hauling it up an apartment stairwell — and no need to communicate in Chinese, since booking happens entirely by message. For a short visit, that means one less task competing with actual sightseeing time. For anyone staying longer, it becomes something you just build into a weekly routine.
People who tend to rely on this service:
- Travelers moving between Gulangyu, Xiamen University, and the city’s beaches on a multi-day trip
- Business visitors who need clothes cleaned quickly without hotel per-item pricing
- Students and expats based in Xiamen long-term who want laundry handled consistently
- Local residents who’d rather spend free time by the water than doing laundry
What People Usually Want to Know
Is the price genuinely just based on weight? Yes. The bag is weighed once it’s collected — ¥98 for the first 3 kg, ¥28 for each kilogram after that. No per-item pricing anywhere in the process.
How quickly do I get my laundry back? Next-day is standard. Same-day delivery is available as a rush option, for an extra 50% on top of the base price.
Will you pick up from Gulangyu Island? Yes, Gulangyu addresses are included in our Xiamen service area, along with hotels and apartments across the mainland side of the city. The exact fee depends on location, confirmed before booking.
Can bedsheets or towels go in with regular clothes? Generally, yes — they’re weighed and washed together with the rest of the load. Flag anything delicate when you book.
Do I need to sort anything beforehand? No. Hand over one bag as it is, and the rest is handled on our end.
