Clothing, drop off, pick up service. Everything ironed by hand, on an antique metal ironing board (one of the old solid ones) with a Rowenta Steam Iron. We go through about one iron per year. I press pant leg hems after I’ve hemmed them, but she does most of the clothing ironing. I do starch some batches for her when I’m needed.

Our local Cleaners use presses, so we offer hand ironing. Some people prefer hand ironed clothes. We do most of the alterations and mending for the Cleaners too.
