Updated June 2026
In Doha, laundry and dry-cleaning delivery services collect from your home, clean your items and return them — commonly within 24 to 48 hours — so there is no need to visit a shop. Here is what it costs in QAR, how to book and which areas are covered. Some providers advertise 24-hour turnaround, while others take around 48 hours for a standard order.
One thing to know up front: these are private companies, not a government service. There is nothing to arrange through Metrash, Hukoomi or a ministry — you simply book through the provider’s app, website, phone number or WhatsApp service.
Laundry delivery services in Doha: how they work
Most services in Doha follow the same simple flow. You book a pickup slot online, through an app or by WhatsApp, hand over your laundry in a bag at your door or building reception, and a driver returns it cleaned and folded, pressed or placed on hangers at the scheduled time.
Standard turnaround is commonly around 24 to 48 hours, depending on the provider, the service and the type of item. Some laundries also offer same-day, 12-hour or express processing, usually at a higher price. Larger or specialist items such as duvets, blankets and heavily stained garments may require more time.
App-based services generally support digital payments and order tracking, while some local providers also accept cash on delivery. Pricing is normally calculated per load or kilogram for wash-and-fold services and per item for dry cleaning, pressing, traditional garments and delicate pieces.
How much does laundry delivery cost in Doha in 2026?
Prices vary considerably by provider, turnaround time and cleaning method. The figures below are current published examples from selected Doha laundry providers checked in July 2026. They should be used as a guide rather than a single standard price list for the entire market.
Wash & fold pricing
- Mixed wash-and-fold load — around QAR 60 for up to 6 kg. This generally includes machine washing, tumble-drying and folding, but not ironing.
- Separate light-and-dark wash — around QAR 120 for up to 12 kg. This option keeps light and dark clothing in separate loads.
- Additional weight — around QAR 10.95 per kilogram above the included load at one major app-based provider.
- Minimum order — provider-specific. Laundryheap currently publishes a minimum order value of QAR 80, but other local laundries may use different minimums or may not publish one.
- Collection and delivery — often free. Some providers advertise free pickup and delivery, while express processing, unsuccessful collection attempts or special services may carry additional charges.
Dry cleaning per item
Dry cleaning and clean-and-press services are charged per item. However, these are not always identical treatments: a clean-and-press service may involve either washing or dry cleaning depending on the garment, care label and customer instructions.
Current published prices from selected Doha providers include:
- Shirt on hanger — around QAR 6–12
- Polo shirt or T-shirt — around QAR 5–11
- Trousers or jeans — around QAR 8–14
- Thobe or dishdasha — around QAR 10–20
- Two-piece suit — around QAR 20–45
- Three-piece suit — around QAR 22–55
- Abaya — around QAR 15–25
- Simple long dress — around QAR 25–40
- Simple short dress — from around QAR 20
- Evening, designed or embellished dress — around QAR 70–200, depending on the fabric, beads, frills and complexity
- Hijab — around QAR 4–12
- Sari — around QAR 15–40
- Winter besht — around QAR 60, while some clean-and-press services list a bisht at around QAR 70
- Gahfia — around QAR 6
- Waistcoat — around QAR 8–15
- Overcoat or raincoat — around QAR 23–45
The wide price differences reflect different cleaning methods and service models. Lower prices may come from a neighbourhood laundry, while collection-and-delivery platforms may charge more for convenience, tracking and faster turnaround.
Household items also have their own rates. On one current app-based clean-and-press list, a bed sheet costs around QAR 21, a duvet cover QAR 24, a pillowcase QAR 7 and a hand towel QAR 4. Local laundry prices may be lower where the service only involves washing rather than cleaning and pressing.
Ironing and pressing
If your clothes are already clean and you only want them pressed, ironing-only is normally cheaper than a full cleaning service. Rates still vary significantly between neighbourhood laundries and app-based pickup platforms.
Current published examples include:
- Shirt — around QAR 2.50–6
- T-shirt — around QAR 2–6
- Trousers or pants — around QAR 2.50–7
- Thobe or dishdasha — around QAR 4–12
- Two-piece suit — around QAR 10 at some providers
- Three-piece suit — around QAR 12 at some providers
- Pillowcase — around QAR 4
Wash-and-press, which includes cleaning and ironing, sits between pressing-only and more specialised clean-and-press services. At one current Doha provider, a shirt costs around QAR 5, a T-shirt QAR 4, trousers QAR 6 and a suit or blazer jacket QAR 12.
Home care: pillows, towels and bedding
Bulky home items are increasingly handled by pickup-and-delivery laundries too, saving you from carrying pillows, duvets and blankets to a shop.
Current published examples from selected providers include:
- Pillow cover washing — around QAR 2
- Normal pillow washing — around QAR 6–8, depending on size
- Feather pillow washing — around QAR 7–13, depending on size
- Pillowcase clean and press — around QAR 7
- Pillowcase pressing only — around QAR 4
- Large bath towel washing — around QAR 4–8
- Hand towel washing or clean and press — around QAR 3–4
- Single bed cover or duvet — around QAR 10
- Double bed cover or duvet — around QAR 12
- Feather duvet — around QAR 35
Prices can vary depending on size, filling, fabric and whether the item is simply washed or receives specialist treatment.
How to book a pickup from your home
The process is genuinely quick once you have selected a provider:
Download the app, open the provider’s website or contact the laundry by phone or WhatsApp.
Set your address — whether you live in an apartment in West Bay, a villa in Al Waab or a flat at The Pearl — and confirm that you are inside the service area.
Choose a service such as wash and fold, dry cleaning, ironing or a combination, and select an available pickup slot.
Separate wash-and-fold, dry-cleaning and pressing-only items into different bags where requested.
Hand the laundry to the driver at your door or leave it at building reception according to the provider’s instructions.
Pay digitally or use cash on delivery where available. App-based providers may also allow you to follow the collection, cleaning and return status online.
Your clean laundry will then be returned at the scheduled time, commonly within 24 to 48 hours for a standard order.
Which areas of Doha are covered?
Coverage keeps expanding, and major app-based platforms advertise pickup and delivery throughout central Doha and many surrounding areas.
Service is currently advertised in areas including Al Dafna, West Bay, The Pearl, Al Sadd, Al Waab, Bin Mahmoud, Musheireb and parts of the Industrial Area. Coverage also extends beyond Doha to places such as Lusail, Al Wakrah, Al Khor and other parts of Qatar.
Coverage and available pickup slots can differ by provider, so enter your exact location in the app or confirm it by WhatsApp before preparing your order.
How to choose the right laundry service
With several providers competing on price and speed, a few things separate a good experience from a frustrating one:
Turnaround time — check whether the service offers 24-hour, 48-hour or express processing. A provider advertising same-day pickup may not necessarily return the clothing on the same day.
Pricing model — wash and fold by the load or kilogram is generally more practical for bulk everyday clothing. Per-item dry cleaning is more appropriate for suits, abayas, dresses and delicate garments.
Minimum order — minimum order values are provider-specific. Some app-based services publish a minimum of around QAR 80, while neighbourhood laundries may have lower minimums or none at all.
Fabric care — for a bisht, sari, wool thobe, silk item or beaded dress, choose a provider that specifically handles delicate and traditional garments.
Delivery charges — some services advertise free pickup and delivery, while others may add express, service, rescheduling or redelivery charges.
Payment method — check whether the provider accepts online payment, cards, cash on delivery or all three.
Price category — confirm whether the quoted amount covers washing, dry cleaning, pressing or a combination. A “clean and press” price should not automatically be compared with a basic dry-cleaning or wash-only rate.
Tips to save money and avoid surprises
Batch your washing so you meet any minimum order in one collection instead of paying for multiple smaller bookings.
Separate wash and fold from dry cleaning. Sending everyday clothes by the load and only dry-cleaning garments that require specialist care can reduce the total cost.
Use pressing-only for clothes that are already clean. Depending on the provider, shirts and trousers can cost from around QAR 2–7 per item to press.
Check whether your clothing will be washed or dry-cleaned under the clean-and-press category, particularly for suits, abayas and delicate fabrics.
Review the provider’s item list before booking so prices for bedding, dresses or traditional garments do not surprise you at checkout.
Check express fees before confirming an urgent order. Faster processing may cost considerably more than the standard service.
Schedule your collection around the published turnaround time. A Thursday pickup could be returned on Friday or Saturday depending on whether the provider offers 24-hour or 48-hour processing.
