Amanda Daniels
Magdalena recently helped me with my huge ironing pile post Xmas holiday and I just couldn't seem to find the time or inclination to do. Trouble is I have fallen short again so need to call in back up! The job was completed to a tight deadline too and all super polite too. Thank-you so much and definitely recommend.

Excellent service my ironing was collected on Sunday and returned on Wednesday of which there was a lot as we had been n holiday plus all the ironing I did nt get done before we went. It was beautifully wrapped in polythene. I will definitely be using Magdalena ‘s services again.

This is the first time I used Magdalena and I was very very pleased with how all my ironing can be back, all covered in plastic and she delivered it 1 day earlier than arranged! Highly recommend!

Magdalena is reliable and the clothes come back perfectly ironed, better than I can do. If you give her the hangers the clothes come back on hangers. When she collects the clothes she gives you the timeline for when they will be back. I would recommend her.
