Laundry & Dry Cleaning at The WB Abu Dhabi.

Children go through outfits fast at the parks. Put everyone's clothes in one weighed bag: AED 99 buys 12kg, AED 60 buys 6kg, and further kilos are AED 12. It comes back to The WB folded the day after.

For the evening the grandparents babysit. A dress is AED 40, a blouse or shirt AED 15, smart trousers AED 18 and a jacket AED 40. Give it to us by midday and it may well be back before dinner.

Clothes packed tightly for a family trip only need ironing. We press a shirt for AED 9, a dress for AED 25 and shorts for AED 10, and return them to the hotel within a day.

The hotel handles its own beds, so this suits families living on Yas. Sheets cost AED 18, a pillow case AED 7 and a duvet AED 50. Most come back within a day; bulky duvets take two.

A long day at Warner Bros. World or on wet slides at Yas Waterworld is hard on shoes. Children's shoes cost AED 35, adult sneakers AED 55 and sandals AED 45. Two to four days.

Juice spills and melted sweets inside a day bag. A children's or school bag costs AED 40, a backpack AED 45 and a tote AED 45. They are ready three to five days later.

Trousers bought at Yas Mall that are too long, or a zip that gave up on a ride. Hems are AED 40, a trouser zip AED 40 and a waist adjustment AED 40. Allow 48 to 72 hours.

For households in the villas and apartments around Yas, not hotel rooms. Regular carpets are AED 20 a square metre, wool AED 26 and curtains from AED 20 a square metre. Three days.

Families sometimes travel for a wedding and add a few park days. A bridal gown is from AED 250, a beaded one from AED 450, a wedding abaya AED 50 and a kandura AED 20. Allow one to two weeks.

For entertainment companies with character suits at children's parties and events on the island. Small mascots cost AED 200, medium AED 230, large AED 250 and accessories AED 30 each. Three to five days.

New toys from the park shops get hugged, dropped and taken in the pool. A small one is AED 55, a medium AED 70 and a large AED 120, washed gently and ready in two or three days.

Useful for families who live on the island and have small children on the sofa. A regular cover is AED 35, a large one AED 40, and cushion covers start at AED 10. Two to three days.
