Whether you’re a short-term visitor, digital nomad, or long-term expat, doing laundry in Bali is something you’ll need to figure out quickly. But with dozens of options — from local street-side kiosks to high-end villa services — the cost of laundry in Bali can vary a lot more than you’d expect.

• Typical laundry prices across Bali

• What’s included (and what’s not)

• Hidden fees to watch out for

• And how Diggy Doo’s Laundry in Ubud compares on value, convenience, and care

Laundry Options in Bali: What Are You Really Paying For?

There are 3 main types of laundry services you’ll find in Bali:

1. Local Laundry Kiosks ("Laundry Kiloan")

• 🪙 Price: IDR 8,000–15,000 per kilo

• 🧺 What you get: Basic wash, machine dry, fold

• 🧴 Products used: Often harsh, industrial detergents

• 🧦 Risks: Clothes washed with others, mix-ups, no special care

Great if you're in a hurry and don’t mind a “one size fits all” approach.

2. Hotel/Villa Laundry Services

• 🪙 Price: IDR 20,000–50,000 per item

• 👚 What you get: Per-piece cleaning with delivery

• 🌟 Often includes: Ironing, folding, sometimes scent often products like krispray which is chemical formula
