Hi There Everyone!
Just a question really - I am training to become a nail technician and moved to Spain recently. And as I am not confident enough to go out and get a job yet doing nails, I had a thought on offering an ironing service to people eg: offering to collect, iron and drop off within 24/48 hours. Just to help bring some money in whilst practising with the nails.
Would you pay someone to do your ironing ? Do you think it's a good idea ?

Absolutely, if I could afford it I would pay someone to iron for me - I hate it with a passion!

Me too!

My mum used to have an ironing lady and my godchildren's mum has one!

I would if i was busy, when i lived in Germany a lady did it she used to charge 20 euro's for a blackbag. - Give it a try - all you need to do really is a leaflet drop & some fliers & posters, you will already have an iron & board, so i would say its worth a try
Good luck xxxxxxxxxxx

I used to use an ironing service but they damaged some of our things so have to do my own again and I HATE it!

I do it hun and have done for a long time, most of my neighbours do too ! once you start its hard to get out of it, bit like nail enhancements eh !

Life is way TOOOOOOOOOOOO short for ironing ! lol

my sister in law pays me to do her ironing all the time as she works til 7 every day i think its a good idea i would pay someone if i couldnt do mine

Do it, I loathe ironing and I know I'm not the only one.

I loathe ironing too, my mum bought me one of them irons with the big tank underneath for my birthday last year just because I hate it so much!

I would pay someone else to do mine if I could afford it, wouldnt want to do someone elses black bin bag full though, when would you find time to do nails if you are ironing all day?

Hi,

Already have a lady that does it for me and she is fantastic.

She charges us £20 - £25, but we go and see her once every 3 weeks and she does at least 3 black bags full at a time !!! She really does a FAB job and it took us ages to find someone who we were happy with.

She provides all the hangers and even covers she shirts and trousers in plastic bags like they do at the dry cleaners.

Hiya - my friend has had an ironing business for four years and she makes a really good living from it. She has one of those press things for sheets and duvet covers (think she got it from Argos) and she uses an iron with a tank of water under it so that it's cordless. She has had some very odd clients tho who are really particular about where the creases should be in trousers etc so watch out for that, but other than that she's had no problems.

Good luck if you decide to do it!! x

personally, no, i'm fussy about how my stuff is washed and ironed, but that's just because my mom used to shrink everything and leave a crease down my jeans 1 inch from the seam! BUT i definitely would pay someone to do my housework because i'm a lazy s*d but i hate dirtiness, so my only choice is to pay for it. in fact, when i finally move my lazy ass out of my mom's house, i'm going to pay her to come round and do it because she's brilliant at it.

My husband does our ironing. He was a sailor on the Royal Yatch & if he can iron the queens knickers then he can iron mine!!!!

I'd go for it if i were you, ironing is a real chore for me if i ever have to do it!!!

When we lived in Eaton Socon we used to havesomeone collect it & bring it back a week later - fantastic.

Hi

Definatly a good little earner for you.
I have an ironing lady and she charges 40p per item. I could not live without her!

Go for it, if you like ironing.

I hate ironing... not that good at it, so I would use one if I could afford to.
