Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Le Méridien Dubai Garhoud.

Clothes from a long journey, socks, sleepwear and gym kit are washed together and charged by the kilo. 6kg costs AED 60 and 12kg AED 99. The bag returns to Le Méridien Dubai folded within 24 hours, ready to repack.

For delegates who packed for a programme of sessions. Two-piece suits cost AED 50, three-piece AED 60, shirts AED 15, waistcoats AED 15 and overcoats AED 50. Booked before 12, they can be back on Airport Road that evening.

Suits and shirts that are clean but crushed in the hold only need a press. A shirt on a hanger is AED 9, trousers AED 12, a jacket AED 25 and a coat AED 30. Pressing is back within 24 hours.

Rooms here come with the hotel's bedding, so this is for homes in Al Garhoud and nearby communities. A bed sheet costs AED 18, a comforter AED 45, a duvet AED 50 and a towel AED 6. Back in 24 hours, larger duvets in 48.

Formal shoes for a dinner in the ballroom, trainers from the fitness centre. Both cost AED 55, boots AED 85 and a stain-protection coat AED 20. Shoe care takes two to four days, so book early in a longer stay.

A new suit for a presentation that needs fitting. Jacket sleeves from the cuff are AED 55, trouser hems AED 40, a jacket side seam AED 55. Alterations take 48 to 72 hours, so plan before the conference.

For families stopping over with small children and a well-travelled soft toy. Small toys are AED 55, medium AED 70 and large AED 120, washed and dried in two to three days.
