How much do you pay for your ironing to be done?

[raggybo]

I'm going back to work soon after DS2 and have decided to get someone to do my ironing as I don't really see there are enough hours in the week to do everything!

I am trying to gauge what is the going rate for ironing services (including collection and drop off).

We live in Bedfordshire

Cheers

I'm a cleaner.
I do the families ironning while I am there. They pay me £7.50 PH.

SW London here, and my cleaner does the ironing. Pay her £8 an hour.

I pay 50p an item, a bit more for shirts and sheets.

I pay about £10 for a big bag full, I tend to take DH's uniform, shirts and the bedding.

I use a local launderette, which is cheaper, I drop off and pick up which suits me.

Didn't realise it varies so much! I used to have a cleaner (who I was gonna have back when I go back to work) but she won't do it.

Might be time to find a new cleaner...that seems to be the cheapest route.

Thanks all

My cleaner does it.

She spends approx an hour ironing and does all our week's clothes. Although not sure how many items, there is loads!

I pay her £9/hour.

I think an ironing service would be much more expensive than that.

When I was having my ironing done weekly, it was £7 an hour. My friend's Nan did it and she was the absolute business.

I opened this thread thinking I was getting really good value for money, but am clearly not

We're in Warwickshire and its about 90p an item at the dry cleaners. And the cleaner is £10 per hour.

75p per shirt. Done in the launderette over the road so collection/drop off no problem.

Used to get it done somewhere even cheaper but then we had a few stains so stopped using them.

We live just outside London.

my cleaner does it. We pay £24 for 3 hours and get a fully clean house and about 10-15 items ironed for that.

[Heated]

£8 an hour and she's quick. Whole week's worth of washing, including bedding, was £16 last week.

[AmpleBosom]

£15 for 30 items
