Ironing service in Edinburgh?

Options
Does anyone use an ironing service in Edinburgh? I just don't have the time to do the ironing myself (full time job, plus studies, plus my OH is about to go back on chemotherapy) and my work clothes are starting to suffer.

I had a look on Gumtree several months ago, but can't seem to find as many people offering to do it now.

If it makes a difference, I live in the Newhaven/Leith area and I work in the centre of town. I'd prefer someone who charges by the bag rather than by the item, but I'm not terribly fussed. I'd probably have one laundry bag full every other week.

    I looked on Gumtree earlier today and someone was offering two and a half hours for £20. Dont know if thats good or bad?
  • Yeah, I saw that too but I also couldn't decide whether that was a good rate! Thanks for the tip though.

    Why don't you advertise on gumtree looking for someone and see what response you get ? Might get some who sees the post and their granny is looking for a 'wee job'

    I live in the same area as you and would love to offer a good deal, but am a great believer in lycra and the creased look ;)

    LOL

    I think its a good idea to advertise as you might just get someone who would like the odd job but not set up to offer to all!
