Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Sheraton Jumeirah Beach Resort.

Small clothes add up quickly in a family garden suite. Put everyone's T-shirts, shorts and swimwear into one bag: AED 60 for 6kg or AED 99 for 12kg, then AED 12 per kilo over. Washed, dried and folded, it returns to the resort in 24 hours.

For a dinner at Peacock or Seafield, a pressed outfit matters. Shirts and blouses cost AED 15, trousers AED 18, a day dress AED 40 and a blazer AED 40. Book before midday and dry cleaning can return to Sheraton Jumeirah Beach that same evening.

If the clothes are clean but crumpled from the suitcase, pay only for the iron. A hanging shirt costs AED 9, trousers or a skirt AED 12 and a jumpsuit AED 25. Everything is pressed and back within a day.

Useful for families who bring their own beach towels, and for JBR residents. Beach and pool towels cost AED 6 each, a bath robe AED 16 and a bed sheet AED 18. Most linen returns within a day; large duvets take 48 hours.

Playground sand and seawater are hard on small shoes. Children's shoes are AED 35, adult sneakers AED 55 and sandals or espadrilles AED 45. Shoe care takes two to four days, so book early in a longer stay.

The bag that carried snacks, sun cream and a leaking juice box all week. A backpack costs AED 45, a school or kids' bag AED 40 and a duffel AED 65. Allow three to five days, which suits a stay of a week or more.

A torn seam from the climbing frame, a loose button, trousers that need shortening. A single button is AED 15 and most hems and zips start from AED 40. Give us two to three days and mention any deadline.

Resort guests will not need this; it serves people who own or rent flats in the JBR towers behind the beach. Carpets are AED 20 a square metre, wool AED 26, and unlined curtains AED 20 a square metre. Expect three days.

For couples and families in town for a wedding. A standard gown starts at AED 250, a beaded one at AED 450, a wedding kandura costs AED 20 and a veil AED 55. Bridal cleaning needs one to two weeks and can be delivered to any Dubai address.

For entertainment crews and agencies running children's events or brand days around JBR. Mascot suits cost AED 200 small, AED 230 medium and AED 250 large, with heads and gloves at AED 30 each. Ready in three to five days.

A teddy that has been on the pirate ship, in the sand and under the table at breakfast. Soft toys are AED 55, AED 70 or AED 120 depending on size. They take two or three days and come back soft and dry.

This one is for households, such as flats in the JBR clusters and Dubai Marina next door. Regular sofa covers cost AED 35, large ones AED 40, and cushion covers start at AED 10. They return in two or three days, washed so they still fit.

Leather does not mix well with sun cream or salt spray. We clean leather jackets from AED 150, wallets and small goods for AED 100 and leather shoes or boots for AED 180. Specialist work takes three to five days.
