Frequently asked questions

How much does your ironing service cost?
Charging by the item is the fairest way to cost an ironing service so it depends on the garment type and quantity. However, the average family will spend between £30 and £40 per order, placing an order every two weeks.
Are my items safe?
Yes — your items are in safe hands. Every ironing lady is carefully vetted, fully trained, and works in a clean, smoke-free home. We treat your garments with care and professionalism at every step.
When will I get my items back?
Clothes are typically returned within 24–48 hours of collection. If you need a faster turnaround, just ask — we’ll do our best to help.
Can I request specific ironing preferences?
Absolutely — just let us know how you’d like your items pressed or returned, and we’ll follow your instructions. In some cases a small change may occur depending on complexity.
Can I drop off my clothes instead of arranging collection?
Yes — drop-off is available by arrangement. Please contact us to confirm.
What ironing equipment do you use?
We use only the best quality steam generator irons and professional ironing tables to deliver consistent results and avoid fabric damage.
How can I ensure the best ironing results?
Make sure clothes are fully dry and not crumpled tightly in the bag. Damp or scrunched-up items can develop set-in creases that even professional ironing can’t completely remove. A quick fold after drying makes a big difference — and once it's handed over, we’ll take care of the rest.
How much does your laundry service cost?
Charging by the washing load is the fairest way to cost a laundry service, and we offer half load options too. However, the average family will request two loads washed, dried and folded per week at £27. Some customers go on to request ironing, and receive a discount for doing so.
How is laundry handled?
Laundry is done in 7kg machines with lights and darks separated. Items are hung to dry and gently finished in a dryer (when safe to do so) for extra softness. We use top-brand non-bio detergent, ideal for sensitive skin.
Can you wash delicate items?
Yes — we can safely wash delicate or special-care items that are machine washable. Just let us know, as they may require a separate load.
Do you wash duvets or very large items?
We’re unable to wash duvets or very large items at this time as our washing machines are limited to a 7KG load.
Do you offer dry cleaning?
Unfortunately, we don’t offer dry cleaning services at this time.
