6 Reasons To Consider Using a Professional Home Laundry Service
WHAT IS A PROFESSIONAL HOME LAUNDRY SERVICE?
Put simply, a professional home laundry service is a term used to describe a Company or Individual(s) who specialise in washing and ironing clothing, and other items, to a professional standard, for a range of paying clients and customers.
For many people, doing their own laundry and ironing is a never-ending, relentless task. The quicker they do it, the quicker it just seems to pile up again! As more people go out to work and try to balance childcare against an increasingly busy schedule, there is less time left for them to do their own laundry and ironing tasks.
This development has brought about a trend and a rise in the growth of an online professional laundry service model, based around customer convenience. This evolution means that clients and customers can simply make use of a range of digital technologies to browse the internet using a desktop top computer, laptop, or smart mobile phone, to select a professional home laundry service.
Bookings are generally taken, and arrangements are made, to have laundry and/ or ironing orders picked up from the customer’s preferred location, and then returned to them at their convenience.
Using professional home laundry services can, therefore, be a wise option for those who wish to have more time away from mundane day-to-day domestic tasks, such as doing the laundry, ironing, and even cleaning.
We have listed below what we believe are the 6 best reasons why you should consider using professional home laundry services.
1. PICK UP AND DROP OFF LAUNDRY/ IRONING SERVICES.
Many professional home laundry services, like Pressed not Stressed, offer free pick-up and drop-off of laundry and ironing services to customers located within designated service areas. This convenience means that customers no longer even have to step out of their front door to access the service, which can save on time, energy, and even car fuel.
Booking an order through one of these services is typically arranged by using online contact options via a range of social media platforms, websites, and search engines, using direct telephone calls, text messaging, emails etc.
A delivery service is used to pick up laundry or ironing orders from a customer or a business address. A return time is agreed upon with the customer, which is then confirmed via an online booking system. The orders are returned to the customer, within a quick turnaround, on hangers or folded, and in protective reusable wraps, ready for the customer to either wear or store away. Payment is made via a range of secure online payment methods.
2. THE COST OF PROFESSIONAL HOME LAUNDRY SERVICES.
When selecting a professional home laundry service, the most obvious place to search is by browsing the internet. We don’t believe it should cost an extortionate amount for a laundry and/ or ironing service. These services typically state their prices on their website. Pressed not Stressed website lists and states our prices for the laundry, ironing and cleaning services we provide, this ensures transparency, with no hidden costs.
We would recommend browsing the price lists of different laundry services so you can compare and contrast them to see which is better value for money. However, it is also worth noting that the cheapest service may not always provide the most professional service to keep your clothing in good condition.
3. DEEP CLEANING TO REMOVE STAINS.
It’s common for your clothing, bedding, and towelling to get stained from frequent use. And it’s also common for such staining to be stubborn and hard to remove by ‘normal’ washing methods. Professional home laundry services have the expertise, equipment, and access to a range of high-quality products to remove stubborn stains and return them to you in pristine condition. Professional home laundry services, such as Pressed not Stressed, know what products to use for different types of stains using a variety of different techniques and methods to do so. We know how to soak, what to soak, and how long to soak, using a variety of stain-removing products to achieve optimal results each time!
4. USE OF HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCTS
Professional home laundry services use high-quality products in the services they offer and provide. They understand that each laundry garment and item may be different and, therefore, will have different care needs. Different textiles and fabrics, such as clothing, bedding, and towelling, require different laundry products and methods for cleaning. The importance of getting this right is paramount to ensure that laundry is returned to the customer professionally cleaned, and in tip-top condition.
5. GUARANTEED QUICK TURNAROUND OF SERVICE.
Professional home laundry services don’t hang around; they are very time efficient. Here at Pressed not Stressed, we start our service operation at the initial point of contact with the customer by accurately documenting the details of their order. Our assessment continues with the collection of the laundry or ironing order from the customer’s preferred location.
Laundry and ironing orders are weighed or itemised, bagged and tagged, and then delivered to the operation site, where work begins on sorting and categorising the orders. Laundry orders are examined for stains, which are evaluated, analysed, and then treated using the correct products and methods, before washing commences.
After washing is completed, the laundry load is transferred to a designated drying area where our eco-friendly dehumidifying drying techniques are applied and used throughout the drying process. This technique enhances the life of the clothing and leaves them soft to the touch, and in pristine condition ready for either folding or ready for the next stage, the ironing task. At this stage, the clothing and other items are transferred to be ironed, using professional equipment and a range of ironing methods and techniques.
A rigorous inspection process ensures each garment and item meets and reaches a high professional standard upon completion.
The final stage of the operation is preparing the orders for dispatch. Our sorting room receives all completed orders, which undergo a process of inspection and quality control. Tags and labels are placed on the orders so they are ready for delivery and returned to customers on time, within a quick turnaround of service.
6. THINKING OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Professional home laundry services invest in equipment and products that are energy and water efficient. Because these types of services deal in bulk quantities, this makes them more efficient.
Pressed not Stressed prides itself in striving towards sustainable practices, we take steps to become as sustainable as possible. We do this by upgrading our machines and equipment by investing in newer and ‘greener’ technologies. We also use high-quality eco-friendly products as we know these can be broken down easily, leaving little or no trace behind.
The ingredients used in these products are typically derived from naturally produced substances, making them safer for humans and the environment. This stands in contrast to conventional laundry products which are often reported to be harmful to both humans and the environment.
CONCLUSION:
With the growth of the modern workplace and in trying to balance childcare and/ or a busy lifestyle, more people are finding that they just have less and less time to do their own laundry and ironing tasks. In response to this, professional home laundry services have developed and expanded and taken their services online to meet this need.
