Our story
Three friends, one rented room, and clothes that never dried
Klin started the way most good ideas do — as a shared complaint. We were three friends renting a small room in Kathmandu, like thousands of other students. No rooftop, no proper ventilation, barely a window that caught the sun. Every load of laundry became a small crisis — clothes hung indoors for days, still damp, starting to smell before they ever dried.
And it wasn't just the drying. Between classes, assignments, and everything else pulling at our attention, laundry was the first thing we forgot. Clothes left soaking too long. A load left in a shared machine and never picked up. Things misplaced, mixed up, or just lost in the shuffle of student life — because who has the bandwidth to remember laundry when everything else feels more urgent?
We figured if we were living like this, so were thousands of other students and renters across the city. So we pooled what little savings we had, found a small space, and built the laundromat we wished we'd had — proper drying, no guesswork, and nothing ever left behind or forgotten. What began as three students solving their own problem has grown into a laundromat trusted by students, professionals, and families across Kathmandu.
