Laundry

When travelling in a hot country and doing a lot of physical activities the dirty laundry piles up quickly.

I had a bad experience in a place I stayed where I gave them my laundry to do where they obviously washed everything and then stuck it all in the dryer at high heat and shrunk pretty much all my clothes.

I don't really want to spend half a day of my holidays going to a laundromat and then trying to sneak it back into my accommodation and trying to figure out some way to hang it to dry if I can avoid this.

Any tips you have picked up on your travels when staying in average hotels that don't offer to air dry clothes?

In New Zealand almost every hotel we stayed in had washing machines for guests to use which was great.

In general though I pack lots of clothes and/or buy handwashing detergent.

Travel light with quick drying clothes, including quick drying underwear. A few changes of clothes is all that’s needed and can be hand washed and dried in the hotel room.

If you are in a hot country then why can't you wash the clothes yourself in the wash basin, or bath with washing powder and let them dry hanging on the balcony, or somewhere? Common sense.

This, i think really depends on where you are. When i traveled around Asia i would go to the women on the sides of the streets advertising laundry. They were way cheaper and better than the hotel services. If humidity isnt an issue wash them in the bath and hang on a balcony
