Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Hyatt Place Dubai Jumeirah.

For guests here for weeks, the easiest option. Underwear, T-shirts, gym wear and casual clothes are weighed: AED 60 for 6kg, AED 99 for 12kg, AED 12 for every extra kilo. Washed, dried and folded, back at Hyatt Place Dubai Jumeirah within 24 hours.

For working days in Trade Centre, Bur Dubai or the port. Shirts and kanduras cost AED 15 each, trousers AED 18, a blazer AED 40 and a two-piece suit AED 50. Hand it over before 12 and dry cleaning can return the same evening.

Already washed your shirts but have no iron to hand? Pressing a shirt on a hanger is AED 9, trousers AED 12 and a blazer AED 25. Everything comes back pressed within 24 hours.

Office shoes and the trainers you wear to the gym or the park both wear out in the dust. Formal shoes and sneakers cost AED 55, boots AED 85 and kids' shoes AED 35. Allow two to four days.
