How Much Is Ironing per Hour UK?
Ironing services continue to increase in popularity across the UK as more people realise how much time they can save by outsourcing the dreaded laundry chores. The country is divided, with 50% of people disliking ironing. We are also a nation that is too busy, with 74% of people feeling overwhelmed by the daily duties that they face.
Professional ironing services are just one of the many ways that people can alleviate themselves of essential chores. In just a few clicks, you can only send your dirty clothing away for it to be replaced with perfectly ironed items in no time. There is no doubt that ironing services offer lots of benefits, but how much can you expect to pay? Continue reading to find out.
What Does it Cost to Get Ironing Done?
Ironing services tend to fluctuate in prices across the UK, but the average cost is between £12 to £18 per hour. Alternatively, some companies charge based on the number of items or weight of the laundry. You can expect to pay from £0.60 to £5 per item in these cases.
The Love2Laundry ironing prices are competitive, with a kg of laundry starting from £11 or items starting at £1.75 each. We have chosen our pricing based on the average across the UK as we serve different locations (you can find ironing services near you by clicking here). The thing that you need to remember is that professional ironing prices consider lots of processes and deliver many benefits.
Prices will fluctuate depending on the clothing items and the materials they are made from. A work shirt or pleated skirt will require much more time and attention than a pillowcase or duvet cover. Professional ironing considers the techniques needed to return a garment to its former glory. This provides peace of mind in knowing that items will never be mistreated, ensuring they return in perfect condition ready for their next outing.
What Does Professional Ironing Include in the Cost?
No matter how much good intent you have at the start of your at-home ironing sessions, many people feel less motivated by the end of their piles. Professional ironing services offer the same level of quality attention to each item of clothing so that you no longer must hide that creased collar under your jumper for work!
We often get asked, what is an ironing service? To put it simply, ironing services will take away your creased clothing and return it perfectly ironed. The results will be much better than if you had tackled the task at home, with effects that mimic that ‘brand new’ clothing feel. You can learn more about how you professionally iron clothes by clicking here.
Included within a professional ironing service, typically, you will receive the following:
- Collection and return of your items if you select a mobile service like ours. Simple choose the times that suit you best, send your pile of ironing away and have it returned to you in perfect condition. What more could you want?
- Individual ironing treatment for each item of clothing or household linen. This involves using the right ironing products, techniques and finishing treatments to ensure long-lasting results. Benefits include improved results and longer lasting finishes for items.
- Specialised ironing of items that have a certain structure, such as professional work shirts or occasion wear.
A common misconception is that pressing clothing is the same as ironing, which we can confirm is not the case. Pressing involves using industrial-size hot plates to remove creases, whereas ironing uses a hand-help tool to treat items more carefully. Both have brilliant results, but ironing is a technique that infuses fabrics with moisture from the more careful steaming addition, which boasts longer lifespans for items.
Benefits of Professional Ironing Services
Paying for professional ironing is a luxury in life that is designed to make things easier. Offering convenience is no different from ordering a dinner takeaway or having your call washed by someone else. Aside from the obvious of saving you time, we think the benefits of professional ironing mean that the service effectively pays for itself.
These include the following:
- Clothing will last longer when professionally treated. Using the right tools, products, and treatments will ensure that fabrics are not subjected to harsh heat or overly strong chemicals. There is also less chance of ironing errors causing much-loved items to end up in the trash pile before their time.
- Professional ironing is also perfect for treating larger items like duvets, curtains, and tablecloths. These items can all be hard to iron using household products but are no problem for experts. This also means that professional ironing benefits your household, not just the clothes that you are wearing.
- Ironing can also be carried out much quicker than household timeframes. Thanks to the dedicated attention, large team working on the load, and professional tools, you will receive all items back promptly.
- Clothes will look as good as new. Whether you have an important meeting that you need to impress at or just want to feel better in your everyday life, these professional services offer superior standards.
