Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Hilton Dubai Jumeirah.

Everyday clothes are cheapest when weighed rather than counted. A 6kg bag is AED 60, a 12kg bag AED 99, and each kilo over that AED 12. Swimwear, gym kit and casual shirts come back to Hilton Dubai Jumeirah washed, dried and folded within 24 hours.

For guests with meetings in Media City or Internet City, one short drive away. A two-piece suit costs AED 50, a blazer AED 40, a shirt AED 15 and a tie AED 15. Book before noon and they can come back the same day.

For clothes that are clean but folded in a case for too long. Pressing a shirt on a hanger is AED 9, a blazer AED 25 and trousers AED 12. A pressed outfit is ready for dinner at BiCE the following day.

Mostly for residents in the JBR towers and guests on longer stays who bring their own linen. A bath or beach towel costs AED 6, a bed sheet AED 18 and a pillow case AED 7. Linen comes back in 24 hours, larger duvets in 48.

Leather work shoes and white trainers both suffer on a sandy promenade. Formal shoes and sneakers cost AED 55 a pair, boots AED 85 and stain protection AED 20. Allow two to four days for shoe care.

A briefcase that travels every week, or a handbag with a sun cream stain. Laptop bags, briefcases and standard handbags are AED 45, a suitcase from AED 85. Bags take three to five days, so they fit longer stays.

New suit bought at Dubai Marina Mall, sleeves a little long? Trouser hems start at AED 40 and jacket sleeves from AED 55. Most alterations take two to three days, so book them early in the trip.

Not for hotel guests: this is for residents in the towers around The Walk. Carpets cost AED 20 per square metre, wool rugs AED 26, and curtains from AED 20 per square metre. Both come back after three days.

For those in Dubai for a wedding or anniversary celebration. A standard wedding dress is from AED 250, a beaded one from AED 450 and a veil AED 55. Bridal work needs one to two weeks, delivered to any Dubai address.

Aimed at events teams and promoters working The Walk and the beach. Small mascot suits cost AED 200, medium AED 230 and large AED 250, with each accessory AED 30. Every suit is cleaned inside and out in three to five days.

For families with a child who will not sleep without a particular toy. A small one costs AED 55, medium AED 70 and large AED 120. Plan two or three days and hand it over early in the stay.

Useful only for homes, for example the apartments of JBR and Dubai Marina. A regular sofa cover costs AED 35, a large one AED 40, and cushion covers start at AED 10. Allow two or three days.

A leather jacket for a winter evening on The Walk, or a leather blazer for business. Jackets start at AED 150, coats and blazers at AED 130, and leather shoes cost AED 180. Leather work takes three to five days.
