we stayed at the PV. Here's a cut and paste about my laundry - with them.
"Right after recovering from the emotional scarring of having to ride back from breakfast I decide that I need to find somewhere to do the laundry. Those that have been following know that I was paying Rp 7,000 per kilo in Kuta and Rp 15,000 per kilo in Lombok but that was delivered to the hotel door!
Straight opposite the Peneeda View is a laundry sign so we wait for the shop to open. When she arrives she weights me laundry and says it's 3.2 kilos and she wants Rp 20,000 per kilo. Once I had recovered from the impending heart attack I told her no way and started walking towards Hardy's.
Now it's not so cool and I'm dragging over three kilos of washing and the boys are far from impressed. Just pay the price etc etc!!!
Well next thing we end back at Ronald's and I still have my laundry and his staff say you leave here Ronald will fix. So I leave it as told. Hubby then asks how much I told him I don't care! You can imagine I don't hear the end of that for hours!!!! Should have just paid the Rp 20,000 per kilo! So it would have cost me Rp 64,000 across from the hotel. When I did receive my laundry back it only cost me Rp 31,000 so really now can't complain and that did shut my boys up somewhat!
I'm a principle kinda girl!"
But a trick I've learnt over the years with Bali is to take a spray like preen and any stains I spray before sending to the laundry and this to date has worked quite well.
