Ironing Business

I am currently a Bodyshop consultant but I struggle getting childcare so that I can go out and do the parties (DP works awkward shifts). Also, by the time I factor in the time out of the house, preparation, ordering, petrol etc etc Im probably earning about 25 quid per 7 hours work.

I have decided to set up an ironing service instead - I dont need to earn a huge amount of money just enough to ease things up a bit.

Anyway, those that have done it can I ask some questions?

1. Where do you advertise?
2. Do you collect and deliver?
3. Do you provide hangers?
4. How much do you charge?
5. How do you package the clothes when they are ironed?
6. Do you have a steam generator iron?
7. How many items do you get done is say, an hour?

Any input on this would be great. I would like to get going with it as soon as I can.

Hi there

I have just come across your request and want to ask - have you been successful in setting up your ironing service yet. I have a small ironing buisness which started in Sept 2001 and I would be really interested in how you are doing as I am hoping to expand further.

regards

Hi Rebecca,
just curious if you are still at it and how it is going.
