Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Al Majaz Premiere Hotel Apartments.

A family living in an apartment for a month fills a bag fast. A 12kg bag is AED 99, a 6kg bag AED 60, and every kilo beyond AED 12. Colours are separated, washed, dried and folded, then returned to the Al Majaz Premiere lobby within 24 hours.

The pieces that should not go in a washing machine. A kandura is AED 15 to dry clean, a basic abaya AED 18 and a delicate one AED 35, a work shirt AED 15 and a dress AED 40. Handed over before noon, they return that evening.

Clean clothes that just need ironing before the week starts. A shirt on a hanger is AED 9, a kandura AED 12, a hijab AED 10, trousers AED 12 and a basic abaya AED 10. Everything returns on hangers within 24 hours.

For families who travel with their own duvet or blanket, and residents nearby, never the hotel's linen. A duvet is AED 50, a large blanket AED 40, a bed sheet AED 18 and a bathrobe AED 16. Large duvets need 48 hours, the rest 24.

Trainers that came home from Al Majaz Splash Park soaked and sandy. Children's shoes are AED 35 a pair, sneakers AED 55, sandals AED 45 and boots AED 85. Allow two to four days, which is easy on a longer stay.

A child's school bag stained inside or a handbag used every day of the trip. School and kids' bags are AED 40, standard handbags and totes AED 45 and backpacks AED 45. Back in three to five days.

A new abaya bought at the souq that is a little long, or a kandura that needs a tidy fit. Shortening either costs AED 40, a child's trouser hem AED 40 and an abaya with embroidery AED 55. Ready in 48 to 72 hours.

For residents in Al Majaz with their own rugs and curtains, not the apartments' furnishings. A wool rug is AED 26 a square metre and other carpets AED 20. Curtains are AED 20 a square metre, AED 25 with blackout. Three days.

Long stays often include a family wedding. A wedding abaya is AED 50, a wedding kandura AED 20, a flower girl dress AED 28 and a bridal gown from AED 250, beaded from AED 450. Allow seven to fourteen days for gowns.

For party organisers who bring costumed characters to children's birthdays in Al Majaz. A small mascot is AED 200, medium AED 230, large AED 250, and each accessory AED 30. Three to five days.

The toy a child sleeps with every night picks up a lot over a few weeks. A small one is AED 55, a medium one AED 70 and a large one AED 120, washed gently and dried right through in two to three days.

For homes in Al Majaz and Abu Shagara with removable sofa covers, never the apartments' furniture. A regular sofa cover is AED 35, a large one AED 40, and cushion covers from AED 10. Two to three days.

A leather jacket for the cooler months or a leather bag used daily. A jacket is AED 150 to clean and condition, a coat or blazer AED 130 and a wallet or other small piece AED 100. Three to five days.
