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.
Do you offer dry cleaning?
Unfortunately, we don’t offer dry cleaning services at this time.
