Well, a launderette's never going to be the most exciting thing to review, but it's useful to know…read morewhere the good ones are if you've just moved into the area or even if you're visiting for enough time to need to do a wash. This one does the job and there's usually a machine free when you need one. Last time I checked, it was more expensive than Headington Launderette, but sometimes it's worth paying a bit extra to avoid carrying your laundry further. A wash costs from £3-£4.50. The machines are card-operated and you can buy cards from the internet shop next door. I find this quite annoying, especially as I think they have a minimum spend limit of around £30 (it used to be £28). Not good for one-off use, or when you're in a hurry. I still think it's easier to look for change. They've got driers as well, and it's quite a sociable place, but lots of minus points for the confusing card system.

I also take my shirts/blouses to be pressed and they are returned to me beautifully ironed and on wire hangers. This is not expensive, in my opinion, £5 or £6 for five (if my memory is correct).

This is more of a dry-cleaners than a laundrette, but you can still get all your normal laundry…read moredone if you're prepared to pay a bit more. Personally, I don't think it's worth it, although everything can be washed an ironed in 48 hours. The main reason people use this is for items that are difficult to wash yourself, like suits, ballgowns, leather, suede and rugs. I know people who find it great for duvet covers and general upholstery, and they're now in possession of a rather impressive looking carpet cleaning machine with a delightful sign announcing how many kg of human skin are in the average carpet. Lovely. The staff are professional and the prices reasonable, although they vary from item to item. Generally if you're going to use their dry-cleaning services, you're at their mercy price-wise, especially if it's the only way of getting a particular stain off. With this in mind, I'm grateful they don't seem like much of a rip-off and the nice crisp, clean feel of an item you thought you'd lose that's now wearable again is worth an awful lot.

I have just collected my formal dress from Excel Dry Cleaners, it required being taken in. When I…read morewalked into the shop, I was immediatly greeted by smiling and friendly staff. They immediatly got on the phone to the tailor, who came in on a Saturday to measure me up! Their seamstress was much like the rest of the staff in there, professional, welcoming and offered honest advice. I required the whole dress to be taken up from the zip by 2 inches with a very tricky mesh material and it only cost £20.00. I am delighted with the outcome of the dress and would like to thank all the staff at Excel for their excellent service. With a particular mention to the owner of the shop, who was very helpful and even helped remove the label from the dress for nothing. Think I will definatly be coming here again!

If you have expensive clothing such as a nice italian designer silk outfit with an unfortunate…read moresticky mess caused by airline baggage handlers cracking a foam insulated melon liqueur bottle, or a strange mark traced to a leaking perfume bottle releasing the dye from a handbag strap these guys are great. We trust them, far more than the standard branded chain of cleaners, to deal with strange stains and to iron clothes so you don't suffer that unfashionable triple knife edge crease and curiously bubbly interfacing. They know what they are doing. They take care. They are polite to customers, and they know what urgent means - though they do a better job when allowed to work to their schedule. In the case of the melon liqueur soaked silk outfit - that's a week for standard care or they'd have tried to rush it in two days but wouldn't have been happy about results.

I live near Banbury and needed to get some leather motorcycle trousers altered. I emailed the shop…read moreto ask if they could do it and get a quote and they replied with all the info I needed. Tiny shop, but very talented and helpful people. A week later the trousers were ready and they did a great job. The stitching that they did (to taper the bottom of the legs down a bit) is indistinguishable from the originals, and they tapered the lining to match too. Excellent, and I will be using them again. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Quality work.
