Laundry in Tbilisi: The Complete Guide for Expats & Tourists (2025)

Finding Laundry Services in Tbilisi

If you've recently moved to or arrived in Tbilisi, figuring out your laundry situation is one of those practical hurdles that nobody warns you about. Unlike many Western European cities, Tbilisi doesn't have a culture of laundromats on every corner — but the market is growing rapidly.

Here's your complete guide to getting clean clothes in the Georgian capital in 2025.

Option 1: Washing in Your Accommodation

Most apartments in Tbilisi now come with a washing machine. If you're renting long-term, this is usually your easiest option. However, if you're staying in a guesthouse, hostel, or Airbnb without a machine, you'll need an alternative.

Option 2: Laundry Pickup & Delivery Services

The most convenient option for busy expats and tourists is a pickup and delivery service. You book online or via WhatsApp, a courier comes to your door, takes your laundry, and returns it clean — usually within 24 hours.

Services like WashGo operate specifically with the international community in mind, offering communication in English, Russian, and Georgian, transparent pricing, and reliable timeslots.

Typical prices (2025):

Wash & fold: 65–100 GEL depending on weight
Wash & iron: 85–130 GEL
Dry cleaning: from 25 GEL per item

Option 3: Dry Cleaners

Tbilisi has a decent number of dry cleaning shops, particularly in Vake, Vera, and Saburtalo. For delicate items like suits, dresses, and coats, a dry cleaner is your best bet. Look for signs that say "ქიმწმენდა" (Georgian) or "Химчистка" (Russian).

Tips for Getting Laundry Done in Tbilisi

Book in advance for pickup services — same-day slots fill up quickly, especially evenings
Check for minimum order requirements — most pickup services require at least 3 kg
Confirm prices upfront — reputable services weigh your laundry at the door and confirm before taking it
Airbnb hosts: plan ahead — between guest turnovers, you often have only a few hours. Partner with a service that understands your timeline.
