Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Andaz The Palm.

Built for longer stays in the Family Suites: one collection a week, on the day you choose. AED 60 covers 6kg, AED 99 covers 12kg, and each kilo beyond costs AED 12. Swimsuits, school-holiday T-shirts and gym kit come back to Andaz Dubai The Palm dry, folded and sorted by person within a day.

A shirt for dinner at Hanami on the 15th floor, a dress for a birthday dinner at the mall, a jacket for a meeting in one of the studios. Expect AED 15 per shirt, AED 18 per pair of trousers, and AED 40 each for a plain dress or a jacket. Dry cleaning collected in the morning, before 12, is usually hanging in your wardrobe by evening.

Clean clothes squashed in a suitcase for hours just need an iron. We charge AED 9 per hung shirt, AED 12 per pair of trousers and AED 25 per dress, and nothing goes near water. Send them from Andaz Dubai The Palm on your first morning and they hang ready in your wardrobe within 24 hours.

For the sheets, blankets and beach towels you bring from home, not the hotel's linen, which stays with the hotel. Families on a long stay often pack a child's own duvet or a favourite blanket. Your beach towels cost AED 6 each and a robe AED 16. Allow 24 hours for most of it and 48 for a big duvet.

Two hundred and fifty metres of private sand has a way of ending up inside trainers and sandals. Children's pairs cost AED 35, sandals AED 45, sneakers and smart shoes AED 55. Footwear needs 2 to 4 days, which is why long-stay guests at Andaz Dubai The Palm usually hand them over on day one.

A straw tote that sat on a sunbed all afternoon, or a handbag marked by suncream, comes back clean and conditioned. Totes, backpacks and everyday handbags cost AED 45; a crossbody is AED 55. Plan on 3 to 5 days, easy to fit into a stay in the apartments.

Weddings take place at this hotel, and an outfit bought last minute may need a small fix. Plain hems, standard waist changes and new trouser zips are AED 40 each. The work takes 48 to 72 hours, so put the wedding date in your first message from Andaz Dubai The Palm.

This one is not for hotel rooms. It suits people who own or rent flats along the Trunk, or villas on the fronds. Rugs and carpets run AED 20 per sqm, or AED 26 per sqm for wool; unlined curtains are AED 20 per sqm. Give either one 3 days.

Andaz Dubai The Palm hosts weddings, and a gown worn near the beach often comes home with sand in the train. Prices start at AED 250 for a simple gown and AED 450 when it is beaded, with AED 55 for the veil. Allow 7 to 14 days; we can deliver it to your Dubai address once you have checked out.

Mostly for agencies staging launches or family weekends around the mall and the beach clubs. Costumes cost AED 200 small, AED 230 medium and AED 250 large, with heads, gloves and other extras at AED 30 apiece. Expect them back fresh and fully dry after 3 to 5 days.

In a family apartment, the travel teddy goes to breakfast, the pool and the monorail. Prices are AED 55 small, AED 70 medium and AED 120 large. Cleaning needs 2 to 3 days; send the bear in the first week and it flies home fresh.

Honest note: this service is for residents with their own furniture on Palm Jumeirah, not for hotel sofas. A regular cover is AED 35, a large one AED 40, and small cushion covers AED 10. Give it 2 to 3 days; covers return pressed so they slip back on without a fight.

Winter nights by the water sometimes call for a leather jacket, and a dinner spill shows on it straight away. Prices begin at AED 150 for a jacket and AED 130 for a coat or blazer. Leather gets its own slower, gentler treatment and returns in 3 to 5 days.
