Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Grandeur Residences Palm Jumeirah.

Most flats in Mughal and Maurya send everything that does not need an iron in a single bag: T-shirts, gym kit from the residents' gym, sleepwear and kitchen towels. Our 6kg bag is AED 60 and the 12kg bag AED 99, plus AED 12 per kilo after that. It returns washed, dried and folded the next day.

Residents who leave the crescent for an office each morning keep a rail of shirts, blazers and trousers on the go. Shirts cost AED 15 each, trousers AED 18, blazers AED 40, and two-piece suits AED 50. Items collected from Grandeur Residences before noon for dry cleaning can return that same evening.

Some flats run their own washing machine and just hate the ironing board. Leave the pile in the lobby: shirts pressed onto hangers are AED 9, folded shirts AED 10, trousers AED 12 and a dress AED 25. Nothing is washed again, and the basket is back at Grandeur Residences within a day.

Owners and long-lease tenants usually sleep on sheets they chose themselves, and those deserve proper care. A sheet is AED 18, a pillow case AED 7, a mattress protector AED 30, a duvet AED 50. Linen and towels are home at Grandeur Residences inside 24 hours; a big duvet needs 48.

Office loafers, running trainers that went along the beach and small school shoes pile up by every front door. Children's pairs cost AED 35, sandals AED 45, trainers and smart shoes AED 55, boots AED 85. Shoes need 2 to 4 days, which is why a pair often rides along with the weekly bag.

The holdall that goes to the gym downstairs and the laptop bag that rides to the office every day both start to show it. A duffel or gym bag is AED 65; laptop bags, backpacks and totes begin at AED 45. Each comes back to the lobby after 3 to 5 days.

No need to drive to a tailor in town for a hem or a loose waistband. Jeans shortened keeping the original edge cost AED 35, waist fitting AED 35, while other everyday hemming or waist work begins at AED 40. Allow 48 to 72 hours; the pieces return to Grandeur Residences with your laundry.

Balconies here face the sea breeze, and salt and fine dust collect in fabric. If the curtains and rugs are yours, not the landlord's, we take them away: rugs cost AED 20 per sqm (wool AED 26), curtains AED 20 per sqm, lined blackout ones AED 25. Allow 3 days.

A gown packed into a wardrobe box without cleaning can yellow over time. We clean a standard wedding dress from AED 250, a beaded or heavily embellished one from AED 450, and a veil for AED 55. Allow 7 to 14 days; it returns to your flat ready to store.

Mainly for entertainers and event companies who hire out characters for birthday parties and family days. Small costumes are AED 200, medium AED 230 and large AED 250, plus AED 30 for each accessory. Each suit is cleaned inside and out, freshened and dried slowly; expect it in 3 to 5 days.

A bedtime rabbit that has been dropped on balconies and dragged across the beach needs more than a shake. A small toy costs AED 55, a medium one AED 70, a large one AED 120. Expect 2 to 3 days: send them on a weekday and they are back at Grandeur Residences before the weekend.

If you furnished the flat yourself, the sofa covers are yours to refresh. A regular cover is AED 35 and a large one AED 40; cushion covers are AED 10, AED 15 or AED 20 by size. They are washed, pressed so they fit the frame again, and returned in 2 to 3 days.

A leather jacket worn on a handful of cool evenings, then hung in a humid wardrobe until next year, is worth cleaning before it goes away. Prices begin at AED 150 for a jacket and AED 130 for a leather coat or blazer, each one cleaned and conditioned by hand. Allow 3 to 5 days.
