Since we moved to Chapel Apple, I haven't had an excuse to try any new ones though, until now. And so it came to pass that I spent a delightful half hour at The Laundry Room this morning. It's next door to Angel's Share, which is our pub of choice thanks to happy hour cocktails and Red Stripe, so it's easy to spot. It's also distinctly unlike any other laundrette I've been in, with its flat screen telly showing Saturday morning baking shows, its IKEA chairs and lovely sage green windowsills. £2.80 for a normal wash, £4.80 for a large one, and plenty of dryers (big and small). There's also a dry cleaning and service wash service, but the main draw is that it's just really lovely.

Amazing that, yes, even the people of Chapel A. still have to go to the launderette! But it doesn't look like the launderettes I have encountered before - it is amazingly clean and well presented, neatly laid out and quite spacious. Its not a DIY job - you don't have to watch your own washing spin round hundreds of times as there is the lady working there will keep an eye on it for you and you can pick it up later on. Perfect! And they have massive tumble dryers so you don't have to walk home with a bag full of damp clothes.

When I entered the shop to get a price list, it was like a sauna. A slightly flustered lady was ironing with gusto. She looked far more composed than I would with the mountains of laundry that surrounded her. As well as ironing, Ironzitself also offers washing, repairs and dry cleaning services. Open seven days a week, the prices range from £1.10 - £2.55 per shirt, depending on what you want doing to it. This does seem pricey if you had a load, but I am sure to some of the high flying business types, this service is invaluable. I do know a certain individual who, when running out of laundry, buys a new shirt for work if he has not got the time or inclination to sort the situation out. So this would actually save him money. The dry cleaning prices seem fairly average. A well used business for this area.

However, in a post panic period of unusual calmness, my Yelp search led me to Ironzitself (a brilliant name, which has since changed). For 4 weeks now, Ironzitself has taken care of all of my laundry without hassle or complaint, returning all the clothes a couple of days later beautifully clean. The only downside is that it is a cash only business (although there is a cash point at Sainsbury's just around the corner).

It costs £5.95 to get your heels done here, but they also do the usual key cutting and dry cleaning. It's in the shopping centre where Morrisons is, and it gets busy at lunchtimes. £5.95 isn't the cheapest re-heeling in the world, but it's cheaper by a whole 55 pence than the place in the middle of Bradford by HMV.

They offered to have them ready the same day but I picked it up the folllowing day as I was in no rush. The suits were sparklingly clean, fresh smelling and expertly pressed, and the service was delivered with a smile. The prices (I'm told by my dad) are very standard for a dry cleaning service, so all in all, it was not a bad experience at TLC.
