Hi,
Im wondering about doing a spot of ironing to help get us out the mess we are in at the moment but i dont know how much to charge.
Does anyone do ironing and if so how much do you charge?
Does £10 a basket sound reasonable or am i short changing myself? Should i charge per item instead ie 60p per item that i iron?

Opinions greatly recieved :-)

Friend of mine used to pay to get her ironing done, she paid 50p per item, that was 8+ years ago

awwww thankyou both.Still not sure what to charge.I filled a black binbag full earlier of my own ironing and t took me half an hour to do it so if i charged £15 for a binbag full that would be good.Do you think thats reasonable or excesive?

I'd charge by weight or item. you can cram a huge amount of kids clothes into a bin bag so you could spend hours doing it!

I pay 70p per shirt, and £1.00 per pound of what they call flat ironing. And its worth every penny !
