Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Saadiyat Rotana Resort &  Villas.

Padel shirts, running shorts, gym leggings, socks and swimwear share one weighed bag. Up to 6kg costs AED 60, up to 12kg AED 99, and any kilo beyond that AED 12. Sweat and chlorine are washed out, and the folded kit is back at Saadiyat Rotana the following day, inside 24 hours.

For Si Ristorante, Turtle Bay or the Sama Lobby Lounge. Polos and shirts are AED 15 apiece, trousers AED 18, and both a dress and a blazer AED 40. Get it to us by midday and it may be back for that night's table.

Already-clean clothes with suitcase creases only need pressing. Expect AED 9 per hung shirt, AED 12 for trousers, AED 15 for a sweater and AED 25 for a jacket, with everything returned inside a day.

The resort supplies its own towels and bedding; this is for Saadiyat residents. Expect AED 6 per towel, AED 18 per sheet, AED 16 for a bathrobe and AED 50 for a duvet. Most of it returns in a day; oversized duvets need two.

Padel courts and beach runs are hard on shoes. Court shoes and trainers are AED 55 a pair, kids' pairs AED 35, sandals AED 45, and a stain-protection coat AED 20 more. Shoes are ready after two to four days.

A gym or racket bag that has carried damp kit all week needs proper cleaning. Gym and duffel bags are AED 65, backpacks AED 45, and handbags begin at AED 45. Bags take between three and five days.

A split seam from a lunge on court, a broken trouser zip or a hem that is too long. Most of these jobs are AED 40 each, a new denim zip is AED 55, and the work is done in two to three days.

For people who live near the resort, not for hotel rooms. Expect AED 20 a square metre for a standard carpet, AED 26 for wool, and AED 20 or AED 25 a square metre for curtains depending on blackout lining. Back in three days.
