DhobiLite doesn’t offer one laundry service. It offers seven: Premium Laundry, Organic Laundry, Wash & Iron, Organic Wash, Wash & Fold, Curtain Wash and Woolen Wash. If you’ve ever opened the app, seen all seven listed at slightly different prices, and picked one at random – this is for you.
Here’s what each one actually does, what it costs, and which one fits your laundry.
The 7 DhobiLite Laundry Services, in Plain English
Premium Laundry – ₹216/kg (₹162/kg with code MY25)
Fabric-specific detergents matched to what you’re actually washing, plus stain spotting before the wash cycle. This is the service to pick for your better everyday clothes – office wear, going-out clothes, anything you want washed a level above basic. It sits in the middle of the range price-wise because the stain-spotting step adds real handling time per item, not because of the detergent alone.
Organic Laundry – ₹203/kg (₹152/kg with code MY25)
Organic solvents and detergents instead of standard ones, for sensitive or precious clothing. Folding and ironing can be added on request. Worth it if you have sensitive skin, a baby in the house, or garments you’d rather not put through anything harsher than necessary. The price premium over Premium Laundry is almost entirely the cost of sourcing organic-certified detergent, not extra processing steps.
Wash & Iron – ₹170/kg (₹127/kg with code MY25)
Washed, steam ironed, folded and packed – the full cycle. This is the one to pick when you want clothes back ready to wear, not just clean. Compared to booking Wash & Fold and ironing everything yourself, this is where the time you’re actually paying to save becomes obvious.
Organic Wash – ₹135/kg (₹101/kg with code MY25)
The organic version of a straightforward wash – d-spotting and cleaning with gentler, mostly chemical-free soaps, without the iron and fold add-on of full Organic Laundry. A middle ground between Organic Laundry and Wash & Fold: gentler products at a price closer to the basic wash than the full-service organic option.
Wash & Fold – ₹100/kg (₹75/kg with code MY25)
The simplest and cheapest option. Clothes washed, dried and folded – no ironing. Right for everyday basics, gym clothes, bed-sheets, anything that doesn’t need to look pressed. If you’re trying to keep a recurring laundry bill down, this is the service to default to and upgrade only for the items that actually need it.
Curtain Wash – ₹229/kg (₹172/kg with code MY25)
Curtains d-spotted and washed with a process tailored to the fabric and curtain type, since curtains vary a lot more in material than most laundry. Keeps the color and structure of heavier or lined curtains intact. Curtains are also priced and handled by weight and size in a way regular clothing isn’t, which is the main reason this needs to be its own service category rather than folded into Wash & Fold.
Woolen Wash – ₹254/kg (₹190/kg with code MY25)
A dedicated machine setting for woolens, with mild detergent and softener to avoid the shrinking and damage a regular cycle can cause. This is the highest-priced service on the list, and the price reflects the gentler, slower process woolens actually need. Putting a wool sweater through Wash & Fold instead to save money is the single most common way people accidentally shrink a good sweater.
How the Pricing Actually Works
Every DhobiLite laundry service is priced per kilogram, not per item – so the total depends on how much your load weighs, not how many pieces are in it. The MY25 code knocks 25% off the regular rate on your first order across all seven services; after that, you’re paying the regular per-kg rate shown above unless a specific promotion applies.
To make the difference concrete, here’s what a typical 5kg load – roughly a week’s worth of laundry for one person – actually costs across the three most commonly picked services, at the regular (non-MY25) rate:
| Service | Rate/kg | 5kg load |
|---|---|---|
| Wash & Fold | ₹100 | ₹500 |
| Wash & Iron | ₹170 | ₹850 |
| Premium Laundry | ₹216 | ₹1,080 |
The gap between Wash & Fold and Premium Laundry on the same 5kg load is ₹580 – which is exactly why it’s worth being deliberate about which service each load actually needs, rather than defaulting to the same one every time regardless of what’s in the bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the real difference between Wash & Fold and Wash & Iron?
Wash & Fold is washing, drying and folding only – no ironing. Wash & Iron adds a steam-ironed, ready-to-wear finish. If you don’t mind ironing clothes yourself, Wash & Fold is the cheaper option for the same wash quality.
Is Organic Laundry worth paying more for over Premium Laundry?
It depends on why you’re choosing it. Premium Laundry already uses fabric-specific detergents and handles stains well. Organic Laundry is worth the extra cost specifically if you want organic solvents and detergents – for sensitive skin, babies, or a preference for gentler products – not because it cleans “better” in a general sense.
Which DhobiLite laundry service is best for woolens and sweaters?
Woolen Wash specifically. It uses a dedicated machine setting with mild detergent and softener designed to avoid the shrinking and fiber damage a standard wash cycle can cause on wool.
Should curtains go through a separate Curtain Wash, or regular laundry?
Curtain Wash specifically, since curtains vary widely in fabric and often carry linings or weights a standard wash service isn’t built to handle. It’s priced separately for that reason.
Do I need Premium Laundry, or is Wash & Fold enough for everyday clothes?
For genuinely everyday basics, Wash & Fold is enough and considerably cheaper. Premium Laundry earns its higher price on clothes where fabric-specific detergent and stain treatment actually matter – better fabrics, office wear, anything you’d hand-wash carefully yourself.
Are all these services available with free pickup and delivery?
Yes. Every DhobiLite laundry service includes free doorstep pickup and delivery, typically within 2-3 days.
Book the Right Service, Not Just Any Service
Seven options sounds like a lot until you realize most of your laundry falls cleanly into one or two of them. Once you know the difference, picking the right one takes ten seconds, not ten minutes.
Book a DhobiLite pickup – free doorstep collection, and our team can help you split items across services if a single load needs more than one. See what real customers say about their orders on DhobiLite Reviews.
