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.
Donna Freeman
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.

Services
Free Collection & Delivery
Free for orders over £20 — a small fee applies for smaller orders. Regular weekly collections are available — set up once and forget about it. Drop-off is also available by prior arrangement.
Shirts are returned within 48 hours as standard; faster turnaround is available on request. Payment on delivery by bank transfer or cash.
Ironing
Ironing is priced per item — simple, clear, and often better value. Shirts, dresses, formal trousers and jumpsuits are hung as standard; T-shirts and other garments can be hung on request. Folded items like polos and jumpers are neatly returned in shop-style folds.
All hung items are returned in biodegradable, reusable protective covers. We’re happy to follow special requests — trouser creases, specific folds, hanging preferences — just let us know.
Bed Linen
We iron duvet covers, fitted sheets, flat sheets and pillowcases — cot through to super king. Everything is pressed and returned neatly folded, ready to go straight onto the bed within 48 hours.
Please note: we iron duvet covers and bed linen — not the duvets themselves.
Wedding & Special Occasions
We handle wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, suits, formalwear and occasion garments for weddings, graduations, christenings, funerals and black-tie events. Everything is expertly pressed and returned on hangers in biodegradable protective covers.
For wedding dresses, please contact us before booking — dresses vary greatly in fabric and construction, and we’ll confirm whether the gown is suitable for our service. For full bridal party orders, we recommend booking at least one week in advance.
Asian Garments
We provide specialist ironing for saris, salwar kameez, lehengas, sherwanis, churidars, dupattas and other South Asian and Asian garments. Each piece is assessed individually before pressing — steam temperature is matched to the most delicate fabric present, and embellishments are carefully worked around rather than pressed directly.
For heavily embellished pieces — wedding lehengas, heavily beaded saris or hand-embroidered occasion wear — please contact us before booking.
