Air Dry & Delicate Hand Wash Laundry Service Ubud | Diggy Doos

Do You Offer Air Dry? How We Care for Delicates, Silk & Yoga Gear in Ubud

Ubud is a hotspot for beautiful fabrics. From flowing linen dresses and hand-dyed silk kimonos to high-grade yoga leggings and delicate swimwear, your wardrobe reflects the relaxed, conscious lifestyle of Bali.

However, high dryer heat is the ultimate enemy of delicate textiles. It causes shrinkage, melts elasticity in activewear, weakens silk fibers, and fades vibrant dyes.

When travelers hand over their favorite outfits, one of the most common questions they ask us on WhatsApp is: "Do you offer air dry, or can my clothes be hand washed?"

The answer is yes, absolutely! At Diggy Doos Laundry, we know that not every garment belongs in a tumble dryer. That’s why we offer a dedicated Special Care Package specifically designed for gentle hand washing and natural air drying

Here is everything you need to know about which clothes need air drying, how our gentle washing process works, and how to request delicate care for your next order.

 

1. Which Items Should NEVER Go in a Tumble Dryer?

Commercial laundry dryers generate high heat that can permanently damage certain materials. We strongly recommend hand washing and air drying for the following items:

 
Garment Type Fabric / Material What High Heat Does to It
Yoga & Activewear Spandex, Elastane, Lululemon Melts elastic fibers, causing sagging and loss of stretch
Swimwear Lycra, Nylon Breaks down elasticity and causes color fading
Linen & Silk Natural Flax Linen, Mulberry Silk High heat shrinks linen and destroys silk thread integrity
Wool & Knits Fine Wool, Crochet Causes severe felting, misshaping, and fabric shrinkage
Hand-Dyed / Batik Local Indonesian Batik, Rayon Bleeds dyes and dulls vibrant hand-painted patterns

2. The Diggy Doos Gentle Hand Wash & Air Dry Process

When you request our Special Care Package, your delicate garments bypass our standard drying cycle completely. Here is how we ensure maximum fabric protection:

🧼 Step 1: Gentle Cold Hand Wash or Ultra-Delicate Cycle

We separate your delicate items from standard cottons. Using cool water and plant-based, pH-neutral detergent, we gently clean your items by hand or on a low-spin delicate cycle to protect delicate seams.

🍃 Step 2: Natural Air Drying

Instead of going into a hot dryer, your clothes are carefully hung or laid flat on drying racks in a clean, indoor, ventilated temperature-controlled dry room. This allows moisture to evaporate naturally without heat friction or shrinkage.

🌸 Step 3: Pure Essential Oil Refresh & Folding

Once completely dry, garments are refreshed with a light touch of pure essential oils (like lavender or tea tree) and neatly folded or hung on hangers ready for pickup or delivery

 

3. How to Request Air Drying & Hand Wash

Requesting gentle care for your clothes at Diggy Doos takes just a few quick steps:

1. Separate Your Delicates
Important Step - Separate your delicate items (silk, linen, yoga gear, swimwear) from your regular laundry load into a small separate bag.
 
2. Select 'Special Care Package'
Add Special Care when booking online or on WhatsApp (+62 819-2541-249), simply mention that you have items that need hand washing or air drying.
 
3. Leave Special Notes 
Custom Treatment - Include any specific instructions in your order notes (e.g., "Air dry linen shirt only" or "Hand wash bikini").
 
4. Doorstep Delivery
Fresh & Intact - Our driver delivers your fresh, naturally dried garments directly back to your hotel or villa reception across Ubud!
