Basically just that, I used to do ironing/cleaning for many years (now work in school) but have been asked about doing some ironing again and the money would come in handy, but not sure if I should up prices a little I would be picking up/dropping back (24 hour turn around) how much would you be willing to pay per basket

We pay per item , I think it’s 70p for T-shirt’s and £1 for shirts / sheets / duvet covers etc . I don’t know if she charges less for kids clothes as we are all adult . I wouldn’t be happy with a per basket price as it’s so variable what we send each week .

Ahh ok I've always used to do a basket for £15 and and a couple of customers who's houses I ironed at and used to charge £10ph, one of them I used to do at least 15 men's shirts, anything between 2and 5 sets of bedding (double and super king sizes) and lots of jeans, tees, polo etc so per item that would of been really expensive

Our cleaner takes ironing in. She takes our bedding once a week to iron and a few of dps shirts and a couple of my dresses. She charges £10 per hour and this takes her about an hour.
A basket is a bit subjective, it could be crammed with 20 screwed up shirts or full of 10 neatly folded shirts!

We pay £12 an hour, but it's done at our house.

I pay my cleaner £12 an hour which includes ironing. So no pick up or drop off.

In Reading, so reasonably affluent area.

RamblinRosie I'm village in Reading to (West side) I will probably just stick with £15 per basket then for ease

Thanks everyone

I pay about £12 for a 3/4 full IKEA bag or £5 extra if it contains the king sized bed sheets
