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.

Gillian Sharp

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!

Emma Mitra

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.

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 £20 and £30 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.
