Get a steamer. SOOOO much better than ironing (when applicable, some things need a crease).

Picked up my clothes this evening. Very nice. They washed and put 29 items on hangers for less than $14. Nothing was ironed, but not everything needed to be. But when I do need to iron a blouse or a pair of pants, it won't be too bad since they're already in pretty good shape hanging.

I feel almost bad at how inexpensive it was.



I used to get bundle service done for awhile while I was transitioning between residences.  Leave a nice tip, I'm sure they don't get paid squat.  I think I was paying about $15 and I would always leave a $20.

This thread is a real hoot.  Has free time become so precious that one now can not wash their own clothes?  My, my, how priorities and attitudes have changed over the past 50 years.

I don't particularily relish doing laundry, but I'll be damned if I am going to pay someone else to do it!  Besides, my machines do all the washing & drying work, all I have to do is put it away and some ironing.  (Suits & dry cleaning excepted.)  Now if your work requires frequent travel where laundry facilities are not available, I can see sending out the wash.  But if you don't want to do the laundry simply because you don't enjoy it, give me a break.  If your income is such you can justify paying someone else to wash your dirty clothes, more power to you.  I, like 90% of the public, consider doing laundry just a fact of life.
