Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah.

Socks, base layers, swimwear and the T-shirts from a week of rounds and pool days go in one bag. Six kilos are AED 60 and twelve are AED 99, with AED 12 for each kilo over. It all returns folded to the Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah within 24 hours.

Golf polos and shirts are AED 15 each, trousers AED 18, a blazer AED 40 and a two-piece suit AED 50. Pieces collected before noon can be back the same evening, in time for a table at the grill.

Clothes that came out of the golf bag clean but crumpled only need an iron. A polo or shirt on a hanger is AED 9, trousers AED 12 and a blazer AED 25, all back within 24 hours.

Meant for villa and apartment owners around the golf course, not for the resort's rooms. Bed sheets are AED 18, bathrobes AED 16 and a duvet AED 50, mostly back in a day and large duvets in two.

Grass stains, sand from the bunkers and the walk back along the beach. Sports shoes and formal shoes are AED 55 a pair, sandals AED 45, and they take two to four days, so book early in a longer stay.

The duffel that carries shoes and spare clothes to the course is AED 65 to clean, a tote or handbag AED 45 and a wallet AED 35. Allow three to five days before you check out.

New golf trousers a little long, or a jacket sleeve that needs taking up? A trouser hem is AED 40 and a jacket sleeve from the cuff AED 55, ready in 48 to 72 hours.

For residents of the villas along the Al Hamra fairways. Synthetic carpets are AED 20 a square metre, wool AED 26, curtains AED 20 or AED 25 with blackout lining, and it all takes three days.

For couples and families who celebrated at the resort. Wedding gowns start at AED 250, beaded ones at AED 450, a three-piece groom suit is AED 50 and a preservation box AED 210. Allow seven to fourteen days.

For organisers of tournaments, launches or children's parties around Al Hamra. Mascot suits cost AED 200, AED 230 or AED 250 by size, with extra pieces at AED 30 each, in three to five days.

The resort has a splash park, and a favourite toy usually ends up wet and sandy. Small soft toys are AED 55, medium AED 70 and large AED 120, back in two to three days.

For households in Al Hamra Village with removable sofa covers. A regular cover is AED 35, a large one AED 40 and cushion covers AED 10 to AED 20, returned in two to three days.

A leather jacket for cooler evenings or leather shoes that met the sea. Jackets start at AED 150, leather shoes and boots at AED 180 and small goods at AED 100, over three to five days.
