Laundry & Dry Cleaning at 72 Hotel Sharjah.

Gym clothes, weekend wear and the children's things from a family suite go together by weight. A 6kg bag is AED 60, a 12kg bag AED 99, and every kilo beyond that AED 12. It all comes back folded to 72 Hotel within a day of collection.

The core of business travel laundry. A two-piece suit is AED 50, three-piece AED 60, a shirt AED 15, a tie AED 15 and a blazer AED 40. Handed to our driver before noon, it can all be back at 72 Hotel the same evening.

Shirts that only need ironing cost AED 9 each on a hanger, trousers AED 12, a blazer AED 25 and a kandura AED 12. Send them in the evening and they are back the next day for the meeting.

The hotel's bedding stays with the hotel; this is for people living in the Al Majaz towers around Khalid Lagoon. A bed sheet is AED 18, a pillowcase AED 7, a duvet AED 50 and a mattress protector AED 30.

Formal shoes that have walked through airports and exhibition halls are AED 55 a pair to clean, with light restoration for scuffs at AED 50 and stain protection at AED 20. Two to four days.

A briefcase or laptop bag is AED 45 to clean, a carry-on sized suitcase AED 85 and a medium suitcase AED 130. Allow three to five days, so book it early in a longer business trip.

Jacket sleeves shortened from the cuff are AED 55, a trouser hem AED 40, a waist taken in AED 40 and a jacket shoulder adjusted AED 40. Most suit alterations are ready in 48 to 72 hours.

Residents of the corniche towers can send home textiles: curtains at AED 20 a square metre (blackout AED 25), rugs at AED 20 and wool rugs at AED 26. Hotel rooms are excluded. The turnaround is three days.

Launches and exhibitions sometimes bring a costumed character to town. If your brand team is based at 72 Hotel, the mascot can be refreshed between shows: AED 200 if small, AED 230 medium, AED 250 large, AED 30 for each extra piece. Plan on three to five days.

Families in the two-bedroom suites bring a favourite toy or two. Small soft toys are AED 55 to clean, medium AED 70 and large AED 120, washed gently and dried through in two to three days.

Meant for lagoon-side flat owners, not guests. Zip-off covers from a standard sofa cost AED 35, from a large sofa AED 40; cushion covers run AED 10 to AED 20 by size. Expect them home within two to three days.

Travelling with leather? Jackets are cleaned and conditioned for AED 150, a leather blazer for AED 130, leather shoes for AED 180, and a wallet, belt or card case for AED 100. Specialist work, so allow three to five days.
