Dry cleaning. It's the kind of thing I do, in a total rush and panic, when I realise I want to wear…read morea particular piece within the next few days. Lucky for me, I've got Ford Dry Cleaners a hop skip and jump down the road - and they can usually turn it around in a day or two. Service is really good (though I never go in for anything but your basic dry cleaning) and the prices are on par. They always treat my babies gently and have always removed any specific stains I've brought to their attention - including one huge coffee stain on my cream Lover dress, which I was totally freaked out about. They also offer your usual bits and bobbins - zips, dyes, buttons and the like - as well as minor alterations, but I wouldn't really recommend them for anything but the super basic, super specific alteration, as they're not really set up for it and don't have a change room. But hey - they do one thing and they do it well.

The other week I made the great decision of wearing my new $350 dress into town. This ended in…read moretown- 1, dress- 0. I tearily took it into Ford hoping they would somehow magically make the alcohol and mud stains disappear from the silk. The lady took one look and said they would do their best but she couldn't promise anything. I returned 4 days later having very low expectations, as long as it was almost wearable I would be happy. But OH MY GOD it was perfect. They left a note on the dress saying there were a few spots left, but I couldn't see them. I was so ecstatic I could of kissed the lady serving me. Definitely the best $19 I have spent in my life. I'm generally not a dry-cleaning person. I usually put the washing machine on gentle and hope nothing shrinks. However, there are some special items that definitely need dry cleaning. I would most definitely recommend Ford. They are friendly, fast and do a brilliant job.

It's on Glynburn Rd, a short distance away. It's high time that the owners put up their own web site, with a decent amount of correct information. All other laundromats in the area have a web site. They will lose business if potential clients can't do satisfactory research prior to attending & using their laundry.

You wait and wait, put more coins in, and when you leave your sheets and towels still aren't entirely dry. If it wasn't for the interesting creatures you get to see in there I would probably try to dry my stuff at home with a hair-dryer. Firle Super Laundrette is conveniently located in Firle Plaza, so you can at least combine it with going to the supermarket. Overall I've always been satisfied with this place because I never had to wait for a dryer and they have a coin machine, which I need about 99% of the time I go to a laundrette. In terms of price and service I guess it's like everywhere else. Around $2 for 8 minutes in the dryer and you'll probably have to use it twice, maybe 3 times depending on what and how much you put in it. One time there seemed to be a problem with their machines and all the dryers (including stuff that came out of them) smelled of gas. Not very nice. But it seems that it was a one-off problem, so 4 stars for Firle Super Laundrette with their coin machine.

However I went ahead with it and they did a good job. The place is clean and tidy and the woman who served me businesslike and kinda amused by my horror at the price. I'm out of touch so it seems.

These guys are really good, I recently went to another dry cleaner to have some pants repaired and…read morein less than two months the stitching they did has come undone. I have gone back to this store and I am impressed, I don't have the pants back yet but being open from 7:30am each week day through to 5:30pm is better than quite a few other places and it makes it easy for people working 9-5 to get there without having to leave work early. Pricing is the same $11 for pants clean plus $8 for the repair, still short of the $20 EFTPOS minimum but I'd be prepared to give a $1 tip to get there and support the local business rather than another that doesn't get the job done properly. I will be back.

Applause, please! Located just down the road from me off Portrush Rd, this ensures I am there almost every week with another garment bag and pleading eyes. They are not very expensive and are very thorough in their work. Additionally, they are located right next to Marcellina and Blockbuster is just in the next complex over - clean clothes, pasta, and dvds all in one trip.

It does a lot of local business, so the people who know it don't mind. Their prices are $9.95 for one item or $18.95 for three, so it's definitely worth waiting until you have three. Their same day service is handy, because you can drop off before work and pick it up after. It's especially handy because, if you live nearby, you're likely to drive past it on either of the main roads, and it's super easy to get into - plenty of car parks out front that are mostly empty. They're open from 7am, so it's nice and easy to get something in early, as long as you're back by 5.30pm, which is fine for most people. It's also great if you're a procrastinator and leave these kinds of things to the day before a wedding...

Tip-Top is also reasonably priced, with special deals are often on offer. For example the more items collected for dry cleaning, the better offer you tend to receive.
