Its official that I hate ironing. With a vengence! So much in fact that when I buy clothes I stand in the shop performing what I have coined the crease test. It does not take a member of Mensa to guess what this is- if it creases too much when you clench your fist around it then I will not buy it. Sometimes I go a bit too far and stand there for 10 minutes transfering said garment from my right hand to my left hand squeezing it like a stress ball. Of course linen is out. So is silk. Tulle and jersey are great and cotton can be a bit hit and miss. Shirts are the anti-Christ and here is where Hijean Laundry Service enters the scene on a white horse to rescue this fair damsel. This is a treasure of a place which does all your ironing for you. Although it also operates a service washing service, this is of no interest to me. It does IRONING!!
Shirts will be made pristine for a mere 95p, the dreaded duvet will be made as smooth as silk for only £3.50 for a double and any child's item costs only 60p to be perfectly pressed.
This is a vital community service in my eyes and it is run by a lovely mother and daughter team. If you are a busy working dad or mum and you have a family of 4 then all your weekly washing will be taken off your hands and ironed for approximately £30. Hyjean also undertake repairs and alterations and charge a very reasonable price of £10 for a coat and £8 for trousers. This multi-talented team also dry clean clothes and everything is handled with care rather than like a stress ball. read more
