Are there English-speaking laundry services in Lisbon?

Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.

What should I check before hiring laundry services in Lisbon?

Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.

What is the most important thing to know before booking?

Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.

What should I avoid when hiring laundry services in Lisbon?

Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.

How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?

A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.

How do you say laundry services in Portuguese?

In Portuguese, laundry services are usually called lavandarias. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.

How do I find laundry services I can trust in Lisbon?

Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.

Lisbon, Oct 2025

I had a regular cleaning for my 120 square meter apartment and it was perfect. Two people came, super fast and professional, took about five hours, moved furniture and cleaned behind, started with my office so we could work, wrapped that in like 30 minutes, and we didn’t even hear them while they kept going. They were extremely careful and really, really polite, nothing damaged, and the whole thing exceeded my expectations; I’m already thinking of calling them back to clean the windows, plus they sent me a message about 20% off next time. The price felt on the higher end but we got what we paid for.

I hired Serene for laundry in April, mainly sheets and blankets, like the bigger stuff. Communication was great, and the service was great - everything came back clean and neat. The price was agreed on beforehand, but I was surprised at how much it came to, a bit pricey for what I had. Overall, a great experience and I’d use it again.

Having tried to do it myself I wasn't sure how they would manage. The 7th floor balcony was hard to do but they did it, the windows and glass on the balcony looked great. I'm very happy with the result.
