Ironing
 
Does anyone get their ironing done by a company or similar? Just wanted to find out a rough cost say per level basket?
Thanks Sunbound :thumbup:

I must say that in my almost three years here not one piece of clothing has been ironed in our house.

The only use for the iron was putting these name labels on school uniforms.

Just get a tumble dryer. Then nothing needs ironging apart from say business shirts.

Don't have a tumble dryer. Nevertheless, the only thing(s) that get ironed here are OH's five business shirts. :)

An advert in my area:
"Fast and reliable ironing service.
$30 per std basket. Redland Bay,Victoria Point. Free pick up and delivery"

Mine gets done by magic... that's a point, my wife isn't back with the fish dinner yet...
