Laundry and dry clean
Laundry and dry clean
Searching for dry cleaning prices in Sydney usually ends in frustration — most cleaners hide their rates behind a phone call. WashMate publishes them. This guide covers what dry cleaning actually costs in Sydney in 2026, what moves a price up or down, and how to get the most value from every order. Every price below is a starting from price — the final price is confirmed after inspection, since it depends on the delicacy of the fabric, any stains and the care treatments required. The full list is on our pricing page.
Prices are current starting prices at our Surry Hills and Norton Plaza (Leichhardt) stores. Pickup and delivery across Sydney metro starts from $15 per order.
Three things set the price of any piece. First, fabric and brand: silk, cashmere and designer construction need hand-finishing rather than bulk processing. Second, condition: set-in or multiple stains take specialist treatment beyond a standard clean. Third, construction: linings, pleats, beading and structured tailoring take longer to press properly. That is why every price is a starting price — each garment is assessed on arrival so it gets exactly the process it needs, nothing less.
Sydney CBD and Eastern Suburbs cleaners commonly charge more for the same garment, and many add call-out fees for delivery. WashMate keeps pricing flat across both stores, publishes it openly, and charges one flat from-$15 pickup and delivery fee rather than a percentage. For weekly shirt wearers, the volume ladder matters most: ten or more shirts washed and ironed drop to $5 each — less than half the single-shirt dry clean rate.
For any garment, email photos of the item and its care label to info@washmate.com.au for an approximate quote — the final price is always confirmed after physical inspection, because it depends on the delicacy of the fabric, the stains present and the care treatments required. For everything standard, the price list shows the starting from price for every item. Need it fast? Same-day options are available on pickup and delivery across Sydney metro as well as in-store — book online, email or call and we will confirm what we can do for your timing, subject to availability.
At WashMate, a 2-piece business suit starts from $37 and a 3-piece from $52 — jacket and trousers cleaned together so the colour ages evenly, finished with a professional press.
Standard dresses start from $28, evening dresses from $49 and designer pieces from $45. Wedding dress cleaning and preservation starts from $350 with a firm quote after inspection.
Because garments differ — fabric, condition and construction all affect the work needed. Listed prices apply to standard fabrics in standard condition, with anything extra assessed at inspection.
Pickup and delivery across Sydney metro starts from $15 per order — one flat fee whether we collect two garments or twenty.
The wash-and-iron volume ladder — shirts drop from $8 each to $5 each at 10 or more per order, ideal for a fortnightly shirt rotation.
