How much would you charge to do someone's ironing?

[AllieBongo]

I am doing some for a friend on a reg basis and I don't know how much to charge??

One of the mums at school does cleaning and ironing and charges £7 per hour regardless of whether you want her to clean or iron.

Thanks ivy. mmmm. she has given me 13 shirts and 2 pairs of trousers. I don't iron shirts as dh doesn't wear them often. They take yonks don't they

My ironing lady charges the same.

Alliebongo - I am a wizz at shirts - sleeves collar front and last back, but I don't often iron anything....fold nicely most syuff and put away.

I would probably take around 5-6 minutes on each shirt I guess - so roughly an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half??

you are fast. I was thinking about 3 hours lol Maybe I have chosen the wrong profession!

What percentage cotton to polyester are the shirts - cos that will make a difference.

The more cotton % the longer they will take.

I make sure the shirts are a high % polyester to cotton as they wear better through the day (dont crease as much) and are much easier to iron - thus my wizzy shirts ability

Good ole mum told me this one and it has proved a gem

that sounds too complicated for me, I am glad I am not a shirt wearer...
