    Hey, does anyone know of any laundrettes (self-service or hand-them-in-get-them-back) that are open in the City Centre or Salthill on a Sunday?

    I have some new expensive suits and shirts that need creases removed after transportation... can anyone recommend a place that will sort this out and definitely not screw them up? - They don't need cleaning, just ironining/pressing or whatever you do to suits

    I've been using O' Connors in Knocknacarra for all my dry cleaning in the past without any issues for my cheap suits, but if these things get ruined I will not be a happy camper so just want to check here first if there's any recommendations.

    Cheers

    John,

    When you say expensive suit etc. are you referring to the construction? i.e. full or half-canvass, or fused? This will have a bearing on recommending a drycleaner or not.

    In general you should be able to wash and iron shirts yourself. If these are high-quality shirts they may have mother-of-pearl buttons, and in this case you should wash them buttoned inside-out in a domestic machine. An industrial machine is quite aggressive and will chip or possibly break the buttons entirely.

    I have used Galway Dry Cleaners a good bit recently.

    http://www.galwaydrycleaners.com/index.html

    They have an offer of 2 suits for €20 picked up and delivered back to you, which I assume is still running.

    Very handy to have it picked up from the office. It would pain me to have to go and drop/collect it myself!

    Great service and suits were great after it.

    Can recommend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,209 ✭✭✭✭JohnCleary


    Folks,
    Normally only get the suits done in the dry cleaners, but need a decent laundrette for washing & ironing the 'normal' every-day clothes.

    Any recommendations?

    Also, do they charge by weight or what?

    (Yes, I am becoming a lazy pr1ck)

    There's a place on Upper Salthill road near Fancy Fare and Paddy Power. Only used them for duvets and things. But they had a price tariff. Have a look. There's a Shannon dry cleaners on the other side of the road. Don't confuse the two.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 509 ✭✭✭Paddyfield


    There's a place beside Joyces Knocknacarra. I think it's called O'Connor's.

    Cheers - I know this place alright, will just go there for convenience

    Thanks, that's a dry-cleaners (get my dry cleaning done there and find them very good)

    hi all,

    With the weather being so poxy, I can't hang out clothes on the line to dry.
    So I'm able to wash clothes, but not get them dried.

    Is there anywhere in the city that will dry & iron clothes/sheets/duvet covers for reasonable money?

    Or would I be aswell to get them to wash them aswell?

    I don't need them dry cleaned as such, but may need them within a day or two (two or three sets of guests coming next week, want to change bedclothes in between visits).

    Thanks!

    The one on that road, not sure what its called, it connects prospect hill and forster court, its the laundrette beside the dentist, they'll do that for you.

    Shannon had a deal on for three items for €20 but that deal is gone unfortunately. Any good reasonable dry cleaners in town that ue could recommend?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,847 ✭✭✭siltirocker


    My washing machine is broken.

    I have a few bags of bits and pieces to get done.

    Anyone know how much some of the laundrettes charge for wash/dry by the load/item/weight/etc?

    Any help would be appreciated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4 Mazzy91


    Zip Yard on Merchants Road in Galway does dry-cleaning as well. Reasonably priced usually gets them back to you within 24-48 hrs.

    My daughter is going to the Gaeltacht in Inveran in June and they are only allowed wash underwear and towels twice in the 3 weeks they are down there. We are able to visit her on Sundays and I was wondering if there was any laundrette in Galway open on a Sunday. Thanks.
