Steam ironing uses a handheld steamer that removes light wrinkles in 3 to 5 minutes per shirt. Press ironing uses a heated metal plate with pressure, delivering sharper creases on trousers and dress shirts. Ask which method the operator uses, because delicate fabrics like silk need steam, not direct press contact.
A standard ironing service takes in household garments, household linens, and basic workwear. Most providers handle shirts, blouses, trousers, dresses, tablecloths, napkins, and bed sheets. Some skip heavy items like curtains or padded coats. Ask for the full item list before booking. Typical turnaround runs 24 to 72 hours, depending on volume and pickup schedule.
Some providers use distilled water in steam irons to reduce mineral residue. Others offer fragrance-free finishing for sensitive skin, useful for baby clothes and bedding. Eco-friendly starch alternatives exist for those avoiding aerosol sprays. Confirm these options are standard or cost extra. Most providers do not list hypoallergenic treatment on the regular invoice.
Standard pickup windows run every 2 to 3 days, with delivery 24 to 48 hours after ironing. Some providers offer same-day return if you drop off before 9 am. Confirm whether bags are provided, weigh them in your presence, and keep a copy of the weight ticket for your records.
Standard ironing does not include stain removal. Visible marks require pre-treatment, usually as an extra paid step. Dark and light items must be separated to prevent dye transfer during steam exposure. New dark fabrics often bleed, especially reds and navies. Point out stains at drop-off and request confirmation that they were treated before ironing.
Most providers quote per kilogram of dry weight, typically 4 to 8 euros, or per piece for shirts at 2 to 4 euros. Watch for minimum order fees, usually 15 to 20 euros, and surcharges for starch, pleats, or express turnaround. Always request a full written quote before handing over clothes.
Monthly plans usually include 5 to 10 kilograms of ironing at 10 to 20 percent below the per-order rate. Most contracts require 30 days notice to cancel, and unused weight rarely carries over. Read the fine print on auto-renewal, and ask whether you can pause the plan during travel periods.
Reputable services carry insurance covering loss or damage, usually capped at a multiple of the service cost per garment. Photographic proof of condition is recommended at handover for valuable items, including silk shirts and wool suits. Ask for a written liability note. Pre-existing wear, such as thinning fabric, is not covered.
New dark fabrics, especially indigo denim and red cotton, can bleed during steam contact. Reputable operators separate loads by colour and test suspect items with a damp cloth on a hidden seam. Ask how they handle new garments, and keep the first 2 washes of dark clothes separate yourself.
Each garment carries a care label with temperature and method symbols. Cotton tolerates 200°C, polyester needs 150°C, silk stays below 140°C, and wool often requires steam without direct contact. Items missing labels are handled at lower temperatures, which may leave creases. Ask how the provider handles unlabeled or worn labels before dropping off the load.
