Ironing is just one of those tedious chores that everybody dreads. As it’s so time-consuming, we tend to keep putting it off, dipping into the pile as and when somebody urgently needs an item of clothing. Gradually, load by load, the ironing pile gets bigger and bigger until it simply has to be done (usually once you realise you’ve got no decent clothes left to wear). This means standing there for hours until every last piece of clothing is ironed, or splitting it up into batches throughout the week. Either way, when you’re busy looking after your children or going to work, it’s often just too difficult to find enough time in the day.
Investing in a professional ironing service is an effective way to take a load off your mind. Rather than worrying about when you’re going to get everything done, you can leave it to the experts. This will give you more time to focus on the things that really matter, such as enjoying time with your children and partner, seeing friends, or getting that extra bit of work done. If you already have a regular cleaner, then it’s easy to arrange for your ironing to be done at the same time, meaning you don’t need to change your schedule. Knowing your ironing is going to be done at a set time each week or fortnight is immensely reassuring.
Stop stressing over those impossible creases
The best thing about letting a professional handle your ironing is the quality of the work. While you might power through the ironing pile as quickly as possible, and overlook the odd crease here and there, professionals are experts in perfectly smoothing out every single crease, and getting through the ironing pile at an impressive pace. They are also equipped with years of experience, specialist skills and acquired knowledge so that, if you have a particularly difficult item of clothing to iron – such as a shirt, or a top with delicate, intricate details – they will know exactly how to get creases out (without getting horrendously stressed!).
While you may be protective over your clothes at first, and feel the need to scrutinise every item that the professional cleaner irons, it’s best to just start a conversation and voice your concerns. Most cleaners understand and are used to clients having their own ways of doing things. It’s not fair to expect your cleaner to follow these to the letter (after all, you’re hiring them for their specialist skills), but they will often be more than happy to accommodate specific requirements – for example, if you like to press a crease into your trousers.
