Laundry & Dry Cleaning at St. Regis Saadiyat Island.

Sweaty polos, swim shorts, socks and the children's T-shirts all go into one bag that is priced by weight: AED 60 for 6kg, AED 99 for 12kg, then AED 12 for each extra kilo. It comes back folded to the St. Regis Saadiyat within a day.

Linen trousers for the gallery, a silk dress for Sontaya, a blazer for the bar. A shirt is AED 15, trousers AED 18, a dress AED 40 and a two-piece suit AED 50. Hand it over before midday and it can be back by evening.

Clothes that are clean but folded too long in a suitcase only need a press. A shirt on a hanger costs AED 9, trousers AED 12, a day dress AED 25 and a jacket AED 25, all returned within 24 hours.

Hotel rooms come with their own bedding, so this is for the villas and apartments around Saadiyat Beach. A bed sheet costs AED 18, a bathrobe AED 16 and a duvet AED 50. Most linen returns in 24 hours, large duvets in 48.

Grass stains on white golf shoes, sand in sandals, scuffs on dinner loafers. Formal shoes and sneakers are AED 55, sandals and espadrilles AED 45, and stain protection adds AED 20. Allow two to four days.

A tote that carried sun cream to the beach, or a clutch from a night out. Handbags and totes start at AED 45, a crossbody bag is AED 55 and a small suitcase AED 85. Bags need three to five days.

Holiday purchases rarely fit first time. Shortening a plain hem or adjusting a waist is AED 40, a jacket sleeve from the cuff AED 55, and most simple jobs come back to the St. Regis Saadiyat in 48 to 72 hours.

For owners of homes near the golf course rather than hotel guests. Regular carpets are AED 20 per square metre and wool AED 26; curtains are AED 20, or AED 25 with blackout lining. Three days.

Sand at the hem and make-up on the bodice are normal after a seaside wedding. Gown cleaning starts at AED 250, beaded gowns at AED 450, and a storage box is AED 210. Allow 7 to 14 days.

For event companies running family days or launches on Saadiyat. Mascot costumes cost AED 200, AED 230 or AED 250 depending on size, with AED 30 for each accessory. Back in three to five days.

A favourite toy that went to the pool and the beach can be washed properly while you stay. Small toys are AED 55, medium AED 70 and large AED 120, ready in two to three days.

For residents nearby with removable covers, not for the resort's own furniture. A regular sofa cover costs AED 35, a large one AED 40 and cushion covers start at AED 10. They return in two to three days.

A leather jacket brought for cooler winter evenings, or a wallet marked by sun oil. Jackets cost AED 150, coats and blazers AED 130 and small leather goods AED 100, cleaned in three to five days.
