Laundry (per kg) in Brussels costs EUR 3.6–5.4 where residents buy it, and EUR 9–14.5 in the parts of the city built around visitors. That is roughly 169% more at the top end, or about EUR 10.9 lost on a single purchase if you happen to buy at the worst place on the worst street. These figures were last reviewed in September 2026.
Service pricing in Brussels is set by catchment, not skill. A shop whose customers live within walking distance prices for repeat business; one whose customers are in town for four nights prices for a single visit.
If you want one number to carry around Brussels, use EUR 5. Paying up to EUR 5.4 is unremarkable. Once a quote crosses EUR 9, you are inside visitor pricing and it is worth walking on.
The practical takeaway for Brussels is small and repeatable. Know that EUR 3.6–5.4 is normal, recognise EUR 9–14.5 as the visitor rate, and decide deliberately rather than by default.
