How much are professional ironing services in 2022?

If you hate the task of tackling that huge pile of ironing each week or just simply don’t have the time, then a professional ironing service might just be the perfect solution! For perfect ironed shirts, professionals know the best techniques. These days, with the help of online reviews and service directories it’s easier than ever to find a reputable ironing professional to literally ‘take a load off your mind’. 

Ironing service prices are typically broken down into three categories:

Ironing costs per hour

Many home ironing services charge their ironing costs per hour. Currently, the average price across the UK stands between £12-18 per hour. Of course, before committing you’ll want to know how much ironing they can complete within an hour, so it’s important to do some research. Check online reviews and ratings, or enquire with them personally about their services. If they seem like the right fit, then why not give them a try? 

Ironing costs per KG

Alternatively, other ironing services are priced by the overall weight. Commonly, professional laundering companies offer this option. They’ll collect your laundry from home and use their own facilities. You can expect to pay on average £5.50 per KG. Any additional services such as dry cleaning or folding can cost extra depending on the provider.

Ironing costs per item

The other option is ironing per item and the costs can vary widely depending on size and difficulty. Average prices for various items include:

  • Underwear or small children’s clothes = £0.60 – £1.00
  • Shirts, t-shirts and blouses = £1.75 – £3.00 
  • Trousers, skirts and jeans = £3.80 – £4.00
  • Jackets, jumpers and dresses = £4.50 – £7.00

Many services will require a minimum order for ironing per item so ensure you have enough on your pile if you choose to opt for this type of service! 

The benefits of using the professionals

Selecting a home ironing service doesn’t just save you tons of time and energy. The benefits can actually be better for your clothes and your health! A few reasons why choosing a professional is better: 

  • Have always shirts looking perfect 
  • Avoid cloths damage 
  • Save time 
  • Learn the best techniques from an expert
  • Accessible high quality service 

The greatest products are used to iron your clothes

Home ironing services want to stand out and deliver the best results in order to retain your custom. It’s all too easy for us to buy the cheapest iron available and use tap water to iron with, but this can often damage your clothes and end up taking hours longer! An ironing service will ensure that your clothes are ironed with great care and attention, using the best products on the market. 

They’re more affordable than you think

It’s a popular belief that hiring home services can be needlessly expensive. Especially, when you can just do it yourself for free. However, home ironing service prices aren’t as expensive as you may first think. A little prior research ensures you get the best value from your service. If it results in more free time to spend with the family or to start a hobby, then it may be the best investment you ever make!

Takes away the stress of doing it yourself

You’re already super busy, and seeing that ironing pile get bigger and bigger just adds to your list of worries. Using an ironing service can take away a lot of stress, leaving you to relax and unwind! Because you deserve it!
