What to Look for in an Ironing Service

by Mitchell Gilbert

When you're leading a busy lifestyle, you may find that ironing your clothes sucks away your time. Depending on the size of your household and what you wear to work, ironing can take hours each week. If you no longer want to stand behind a steaming hot iron after work, you may want to try an iron laundry service. Before you do, you need to look out for certain features.

Ensure your iron laundry service charges according to item and weight

Most iron laundry services will charge according to both items and weight, and they'll allow you to choose which method you prefer. Finding one that does will help you save time and money. For example, if you only need someone to iron a few shirts each week, having to wait until you reach the minimum weight limit can leave you without your favourite clothes.

Go for rapid turnaround times

Whether you need to use an ironing service once or you're hiring someone regularly, rapid turnaround times are crucial. From those one-off outfits you need for special events to the bedding you want to prepare for your guests, waiting more than 48 hours is an inconvenience when time is of the essence. 

Ask whether they provide a collection and delivery service

If you're using an iron laundry service because you need to save time, dropping off and picking up the items yourself defeats the purpose of using one. Whether you're using an independent contractor or a business, ask if they collect your items, when they drop them off, and how they plan to transport them. Ensure they don't stuff them into bags or a small car and make inquiries about hangers and laundry baskets. Finally, ask whether they include collection and delivery in the service price or if you need to pay extra on top.

Are they happy to work to your convenience?

If you're working long hours, you may need to request that your ironing professional delivers your items at a time that suits you. Rather than assuming they will, make the request in advance to avoid confusion. Additionally, consider whether it's better to use someone who's close to your workplace or if home deliveries are more convenient. When you figure out the smaller details it's easier to find a provider who's a good fit for you.

Finally, don't forget to check out your ironing service's testimonials. A longstanding history of excellent feedback from happy customers is the best indicator that they'll treat your clothes with the utmost care

Flo's Guide to Fashion

Hello, my name is Flo. My passion is for making sure that everyone wears the best fashion. That doesn't mean that people have to wear the latest styles. I like it when people wear things that don't quite fit. When people make people think and give them a shock, I think that is what we are all about. I said to my friend that fashion was dead. Then I decided to start a blog to prove that what people wear will go on and on and that nothing really dies. I hope you enjoy my blog and find it very useful.
