About Ironing Service
What an ironing service covers
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.
Liability Limits and Insurance Coverage
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.
Turnaround Times and Peak Seasons
Off-peak turnaround is 48 to 72 hours. During December, Easter, and wedding season, expect delays of 3 to 5 extra days. Book 2 weeks ahead for holidays, and ask about a guaranteed delivery slot rather than a vague morning or afternoon window. Late penalties should be written into the receipt.
Colour Bleeding and Garment Separation
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.
Fabric Labels and Temperature Limits
Check every label before pickup. Cotton tolerates 200 degrees, polyester needs 150, silk and wool stay below 110. A professional should sort by temperature setting before starting. If your wardrobe mixes rayon, linen, and denim, mention the mix upfront so the operator plans separate ironing passes.
Pricing Models and Hidden Fees
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.
Common complaints and how to avoid them
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.
Eco and hypoallergenic options
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.
How garments should be handed over
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.
Pickup and delivery logistics
Most services offer door pickup and delivery within a fixed area, often 5 to 10 kilometres from the base. Some charge per kilometre outside that zone. Pickup windows usually span 2 to 4 hours. Same-day return is rare and costs extra. Ask about missed-pickup policies and whether someone must be home to hand over the bag.
