Thank you to the very friendly Hot Iron who have expertly ironed my shirts and t-shirts brilliantly. Collected and returned to schedule. Great to get my large ironing pile down, 23 shirts and 29 t-shirts, freeing me up to get on with my life. Really appreciated and highly recommend.

Lucy’s ironing service is incredibly efficient. Collected and dropped off at the times agreed. The clothes come back carefully packed, on hangers or folded, and beautifully ironed. A great service I would highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
