Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Radisson Blu Dubai Waterfront.

Guests here on a week-long project usually run out of casual clothes first. Polos, gym kit, socks and sleepwear share one bag, charged by weight: AED 60 covers up to 6kg, AED 99 covers up to 12kg, and heavier loads add AED 12 a kilo. Folded clothes reach Radisson Blu Waterfront within 24 hours.

Workshops in the function rooms and client visits across the bay call for crisp tailoring. Blazers cost AED 40, trousers AED 18, shirts AED 15, and a suit with waistcoat AED 60. Whatever reaches us before midday may travel back to Marasi Drive by the evening.

Clothes already clean but creased by the flight only need ironing. Shirts on hangers cost AED 9, trousers AED 12, waistcoats AED 11 and coats AED 30. Pressed items reach Radisson Blu Waterfront within a day, in time for the next round of meetings.

Hotel rooms come with their own bedding, so we offer this to people renting in the towers along Marasi Drive. Bed sheets cost AED 18, a comforter AED 45 and bath towels AED 6. Most linen returns within a day, while the biggest duvets need two days.

Leather lace-ups that walked between offices all week, or running shoes used on the canal promenade at sunrise. Formal pairs and sneakers cost AED 55, boots AED 85, and a light restoration AED 50. Footwear needs between two and four days.

A briefcase with a coffee ring inside, a gym duffel, or a case scuffed on the airport belt. Laptop bags and briefcases cost AED 45, duffels AED 65 and large suitcases AED 165. Bags need three to five days, which suits a longer stay.

A suit that sits loose after months of travel, or new shirts with sleeves too long. Hemming trousers and shortening shirt sleeves cost AED 40, slimming a jacket at the sides AED 55, and shortening a kandura AED 40. Tailoring usually needs 48 to 72 hours.

Intended for residents of the towers near the hotel, where fine desert dust works into rugs and drapes. We charge AED 20 per square metre for standard carpets and AED 26 for wool; curtains are AED 20 per square metre, rising to AED 25 with blackout. Allow three days.

For couples and families celebrating in Business Bay ballrooms. A standard bridal gown is AED 250, a beaded gown AED 450, a wedding abaya AED 50 and a wedding kandura AED 20. Allow seven to fourteen days for careful cleaning and pressing.

For event organisers whose costumed characters appear at conferences, family days and launches in Business Bay. Prices run from AED 200 for a small costume to AED 230 medium and AED 250 large, and each accessory adds AED 30. Allow three to five days.

Families joining a parent on a work trip often pack a favourite plush companion, and it soon needs freshening. Prices go by size: AED 55 small, AED 70 medium, AED 120 large. Toys need two to three days, so send one well before the flight.

For neighbours with removable sofa covers and cushions that gather dust from their balconies. Standard covers cost AED 35, larger ones AED 40, and cushion covers between AED 10 and AED 20. Covers come home after two or three days.

A leather jacket for cooler months, or boots that need more than polish. Jackets cost AED 150, leather coats AED 130, wallets and other small goods AED 100, and leather footwear AED 180. Leather jobs need three to five days.
