    Hey All,

    Does anyone know of a good place in Dublin (city centre) that will launder shirts (incl. iron) for a reasonable price?

    Please include prices/timelines if you have em!

    Thanks for the help!

    There was a laundry in Dundrum that did shirts for me at €1.50 a pop, which was great value - but they (not surprisingly, perhaps) went out of business.

    A friend of my dads used to drop the 5 shirts he wore during the week to the local charity shop on Friday evening, and buy them back on Saturday morning freshly washed and ironed.

    Think he paid about £2 a shirt...

    Until one day one of his friends bought his shirts before he got to the shop...

    At two euro a pop? Are you quite mad? No student in their right mind would choose clean/ironed shirts over ten euros worth of drinking money.

    On topic: Do most launderettes/dry cleaners not have an ironing service anyway? In fact, I'm sure they do.

    Contrary to what Western society will have you believe, washing and ironing your own shirts isn't that bad. I ironed my first one today and I now consider myself fully domesticated.

    Yeah most probably will do it, but I've heard of some charging €4/5 a shirt (on top of the clean!!) - I was hoping there was somebody who did this regularly and knew of one that was more reasonable.

    I've just moved back from New York where a same day wash/dry/iron cost $1.50/shirt (and 99c in some places). So was hopin for something similar in Dublin!

    There's a good place in Lower Baggot Street beside Tesco and opposite Xtra Vision but can't remember it's name for the life of me
