Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Paramount Hotel Dubai.

Pool clothes, T-shirts, gym gear and pyjamas are washed together and priced by weight rather than by item. Up to 6kg costs AED 60, up to 12kg AED 99, and AED 12 for each extra kilo. Everything returns to Paramount Hotel Dubai folded and sorted within 24 hours.

Nights at the hotel's bars and dinners in Downtown call for dresses and jackets that look camera-ready. An evening dress costs AED 65, a normal dress AED 40, a blazer AED 40 and a shirt AED 15. Anything handed over before noon can return to your room that evening.

A clean outfit that came out of the suitcase creased only needs pressing. An evening dress is AED 40, a complex-fabric dress AED 45, a shirt on a hanger AED 9 and a jumpsuit AED 25. Pressing returns to Paramount Hotel Dubai within a day, ready for the next night out.

Hotel rooms have their own linen, so this service is meant for people who own or rent apartments in the Paramount towers and around Business Bay. A bed sheet is AED 18, a duvet AED 50 and a mattress protector AED 30. Allow 24 hours, or 48 for large duvets.

Limited-edition trainers and smart shoes deserve more than a wipe. Sports sneakers and formal shoes are AED 55, boots AED 85 and espadrilles AED 45. Icing yellowed soles adds AED 35, and stain protection AED 20. Allow two to four days before you check out.

An evening clutch with a lipstick mark inside, or a crossbody bag after a week of sightseeing. Clutches and standard handbags start at AED 45, crossbody and oversized bags AED 55, and a small suitcase AED 85. Bag cleaning takes three to five days.

A new dress from Dubai Mall that needs a shorter hem, or straps that slip. A day-dress hem is AED 40, an evening gown hem AED 45 and strap shortening AED 40. Beaded or sequinned hems cost AED 55. Most alterations come back in 48 to 72 hours.

For residents and owners in the Paramount tower apartments and nearby Business Bay homes, not for hotel rooms. Regular carpets are AED 20 per square metre, wool AED 26, and curtains AED 20 per square metre or AED 25 with blackout lining. Everything is ready in three days.

For couples celebrating in Dubai and families staying for the wedding. A bridal gown starts at AED 250 and a beaded gown at AED 450, a veil is AED 55 and a preservation box AED 210. Allow one to two weeks, so book early in a longer stay.

For entertainment and promotions teams running character appearances at malls, launches and family events across Dubai. Small mascots cost AED 200, medium AED 230 and large AED 250, plus AED 30 for each accessory. Costumes are cleaned and dried properly in three to five days.

Children on holiday often carry a plush character from a favourite film everywhere. Small soft toys are AED 55, medium AED 70 and large AED 120. Cleaning takes two to three days, so send it early and it will be fresh for the flight home.

For residents in the Paramount tower apartments with removable sofa covers, or landlords preparing a flat for new tenants. A regular cover costs AED 35, a large one AED 40, and cushion covers AED 10 to 20 depending on size. They return in two to three days.

A biker jacket for winter evenings or a leather blazer that has seen a few nights out. Leather jackets are AED 150, coats and blazers AED 130 and small goods AED 100. Restoration for worn leather is AED 200. Allow three to five days.
