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.
A home ironing service brings a professional to your door, which suits people with limited time. A shop-based service usually means drop-off and collection, often cheaper per kilogram. Ask if the operator irons at home or takes garments away, because transit adds time and a small risk of lost items.
Standard liability covers 10 times the ironing cost per item, often capped at 50 euros total. Higher-value garments like suits or silk dresses may need a separate declaration. Ask for written proof of insurance, and check whether the policy covers heat damage, shrinkage, and loss during transport.
Hand over items in a clean cloth bag, never plastic, which traps moisture and causes mildew. Sort shirts, trousers, and linen before pickup to speed counting and reduce mix-ups. Empty all pockets. Check pockets again at delivery, since pens, lighters, and lip balms melt easily under a hot press and ruin fabric permanently.
Pre-treatment is usually included for water-based stains like coffee or sweat. Oil, ink, and set-in stains often need separate treatment at 5 to 10 euros extra. Point out stains when you hand over the garments, because once heat is applied, some marks become permanent and the provider will not be liable.
Steam ironing uses a hand-held iron on a flat board. Press ironing uses a heated metal plate or rotary press, often yielding flatter results on cotton and linen shirts. Cotton sheets benefit from rotary pressing. Delicate silks need lower temperature and steam only. Ask which method the provider uses for each fabric in your load.
Frequent complaints include missing items, scorched fabric, shiny marks on dark cotton, and returned creases. To prevent these, count items together at pickup, point out delicate fabrics, request lower temperatures for darks, and inspect the load on receipt before signing the delivery note. Unreported issues are almost impossible to claim later, so check on the spot.
Group clothes by fabric and washing temperature before pickup. Use cotton bags, not plastic, which traps moisture and causes mildew. Provide a list with item counts, and keep one copy for yourself. Photograph any existing damage, loose buttons, or tears so the operator can record them on the receipt.
Regular turnaround is 48 hours for bags under 7 kilograms. Heavy weeks, holidays, and wedding seasons push delivery to 4 to 5 days. Some providers batch work by fabric type, which extends timing. Book 5 to 7 days ahead during November and December. Ask for a realistic date before confirming the order, not a best-case estimate.
