Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What makes PRIVÉ WASH LAUNDRY different from other laundromats in Istanbul?
PRIVÉ WASH LAUNDRY is one of the only private laundromats in Istanbul that guarantees individual washing for each customer. Unlike most laundromats in the city that wash clothes from multiple customers together to save time and costs, PRIVÉ WASH prioritizes hygiene, privacy, and personalized care.
2. Why is it important to wash laundry separately?
Washing laundry separately ensures:
- No cross-contamination from other people's germs, skin cells, sweat, or personal stains
- Prevention of damage to delicate or colored garments
- No mix-ups or loss of personal items
- Custom washing preferences like detergent choice, water temperature, and fabric care
3. Can shared laundry cause health problems?
Yes. Shared laundry machines or mixed washing can lead to:
- Fungal infections (like athlete’s foot or ringworm)
- Bacterial transmission (e.g., staph infections)
- Allergies from pet hair, dust mites, or strong detergents
- Parasites like lice or scabies (in rare but possible cases)
- Unpleasant odors or stains if mixed with poorly washed or soiled items
4. Is individual laundry more hygienic?
Absolutely. At PRIVÉ WASH LAUNDRY, each customer’s clothes are washed separately in disinfected machines using fresh water and detergent. This approach:
- Keeps your clothes free from external contaminants
- Ensures allergies and sensitivities are not triggered
- Gives you peace of mind and confidence in cleanliness
5. Are there many individual laundry services in Istanbul?
No. Most laundry shops in Istanbul—especially budget or tourist-oriented ones—use batch washing, where clothes from several customers are washed together to cut costs. PRIVÉ WASH LAUNDRY is one of the few services in the city that emphasizes private laundry care, making it ideal for:
- Travelers and families

- Anyone who values cleanliness and personal service
