Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Fairmont Dubai.

Shorts, sundresses, pool towels from home and children’s outfits are weighed rather than counted. A bag weighing up to 6kg is AED 60, up to 12kg AED 99, each kilo over that AED 12. All of it returns folded to Fairmont Dubai within a day.

A day dress costs AED 40 and an evening dress AED 65; kanduras and blouses are AED 15 each, skirts AED 21 and jackets AED 40. Book before noon and dry cleaning can return to the Fairmont that evening.

Already clean, just creased? An evening dress is pressed for AED 40, a skirt for AED 12, a blouse for AED 10 and a shirt on a hanger for AED 9. Abayas are AED 10. Pressing comes back the next day.

Meant for apartments and villas near the roundabout rather than hotel rooms. Comforters cost AED 45, bedcovers AED 18, a blanket AED 30 and a bath robe AED 16. Turnaround is 24 hours, with large duvets needing 48.

City pavements and hotel marble mark shoes quickly. Sandals and espadrilles each cost AED 45, formal shoes and trainers AED 55, boots AED 85. Shoes take between two and four days.

An evening clutch or a tote carried around the malls picks up marks. Clutches and totes are AED 45, crossbody bags AED 55, oversized handbags AED 55. Allow three to five days for bags.

Day dress hems are AED 40, evening gown hems AED 45, and beaded or chiffon hems AED 55. Trouser waists can be adjusted for AED 40. Straightforward alterations need 48 to 72 hours.

This is for households in the towers around the roundabout, not for guests. Curtains are AED 20 per square metre, or AED 25 with a blackout lining; regular carpets AED 20 per square metre. Allow three days.

For brides and families celebrating in Dubai. A wedding gown starts at AED 250 and a beaded one at AED 450; a preservation box costs AED 210. Bridal cleaning takes between 7 and 14 days.

For promoters and event crews working the World Trade Centre and venues nearby. Mascots cost AED 200 small, AED 230 medium or AED 250 large, with AED 30 for every accessory. Costumes take three to five days.

A soft toy that went everywhere on holiday can be cleaned gently: AED 55 for small, AED 70 for medium, AED 120 for large. It is air-dried with care and returns to the Fairmont in two to three days.

Useful for flats near Sheikh Zayed Road; hotel guests can skip it. A regular sofa cover is AED 35 and a large one AED 40, and large cushion covers are AED 20 each. Covers return within two to three days.

For cooler evenings out. A leather jacket starts at AED 150 and a leather coat or blazer at AED 130; small leather goods begin at AED 100. Leather is cleaned and conditioned over three to five days.
