You Wash It, We Press It
Some people genuinely don't mind doing the washing. Sorting clothes, running the machine, hanging everything on the line — it's almost therapeutic for some households. But then the dry clothes come off the line, and they land in "the pile." You know the one. That basket or chair in the spare room where clothes sit for days, sometimes weeks, waiting to be ironed. Our ironing service exists for exactly this situation. You handle the washing and drying at home, and we take care of the part you actually hate.

In-House Ironing Service
Prefer to have the ironing done at your place? We offer an in-house ironing service where we travel to your home with our portable professional equipment and complete the job on-site. This is ideal for customers who want to watch the process, have large volumes of ironing, or simply prefer the convenience of having it done without their clothes leaving the house.
In-house service pricing is by negotiation based on the volume and types of items. Get in touch and we'll provide a tailored quote based on your needs.
What Benefits Most from Professional Pressing
Not everything in your laundry basket needs ironing. T-shirts and activewear generally look fine straight off the line. But certain garments look noticeably better — and last noticeably longer — when they're properly pressed:
- Business shirts and blouses — the single most common item we press. A professionally ironed shirt holds its shape through a full work day
- School uniforms — polo shirts, dress shirts, and tunics that need to look presentable five days running
- Trousers and chinos — sharp creases and smooth flat fronts that a home iron struggles to achieve consistently
- Linen clothing — anyone who owns linen knows it wrinkles if you so much as look at it. Professional steam pressing tames it beautifully
- Table linen and napkins — for special occasions or if you're the sort of household that sets a proper table
Commercial Equipment vs Your Home Iron
There's a reason professional results look different from what you achieve at home, and it's not just technique. Our commercial steam pressing equipment operates at higher steam pressure and more consistent temperatures than any domestic iron on the market. The pressing surface is larger, which means fewer passes over each section of fabric and a more even finish overall.
A domestic iron typically produces steam at around 3 to 5 bars of pressure. Our commercial equipment runs at significantly higher output, which means steam penetrates deeper into the fabric fibres. The result is a smoother finish that holds for longer. You won't see creases reappearing by lunchtime the way they do with a quick home press. The risk of scorch marks and shine spots drops dramatically too, because the temperature is precisely controlled for each fabric type rather than relying on guesswork.
Turnaround Times
Standard turnaround for ironing only is 48 hours from collection. For most customers on a regular weekly schedule, this means clothes collected on Monday are returned pressed and ready to wear by Wednesday. If you need a faster turnaround for a specific occasion, let us know when you book and we'll do our best to accommodate.
We find that most households settle into a rhythm where ironing is simply never a task on their list. The dry clothes come off the line, anything that needs pressing goes into a bag, and it comes back done. No board to set up, no fighting with collar stays, no accidental scorch marks on your favourite blouse.
Pair It with Other Services
Many of our ironing only customers eventually discover they'd rather hand off more of the process. If that sounds like you, our wash and iron service handles everything from dirty basket to pressed and folded. Or keep sending your everyday clothes through wash and fold and just use ironing only for the items that need a crisp finish.
For garments that need extra care — silk blouses, embroidered pieces, or anything with tricky construction — our delicates and special care service ensures they're handled with the attention they deserve.
