Default FDX - Airing Dirty Laundry

Got a long trip and a small suitcase. Any place near the hotel in Singapore to get the skivvies cleaned. First time there coming up next week. Thanks in advance.

Give it to the concierge. He will send it out and it will be delivered back the next day. Way cheaper than what the hotel would charge you.

"Laundry Day" is about 2 MRT stops away. They will do it in 4-6 hours and there are plenty of shops/restaruants nearby. I think they are closed on Sunday so check in advance if you are there that day...

The old fall back is the bathroom sink with the body/shampoo provided.
If you soak them/wash/rinse/ spindry with a towel your "dirty laundary" when you first get it before heading out to Boat Cayor Clarke Cay for dinner and hang them out on your patio they will be dry by breakfast time. Except during typhoon season then they just receive an additional rinse cycle. Should be completely dry before your 18 to 24 hour layover is over, if not they will dry out nicely on the airplane!
At least that's what somebody told me?
