How much for ironing?

[SixtiesChild]

Hi girls,

Our finances aren't doing as well as we'd hoped this year and I've decided to start ironing :eek: for some extra cash just until things pick up.
So, how much should I charge??? How much would you pay ???
What would your expectations be??? :confused:

My mum does ironing and charges $12 an hour.
We have ladies around here that charge $14 an hour.
Maybe if you look in your paper sometimes people advertise and they say their price.You could ring a couple of them and just enquire like you wanted to get yours done and ask them what they do.Some deliver,some don't for the same price.
All the best.

we pay a lady 12 bucks a level basket full....

people advertise in the paper for 12 bucks an hour here too.

We used to pay a lady $15 a hour - we found she would iron so slow to get paid more that we started paying per basket - around $30 - we knew it would take a couple of hours to do. You really need to be able to iron really fast and be good at it.
I would advertise your service to family and friends, in the paper or on community notice boards. Good luck I hope it all works out for you.

At the moment I'd pay a kings ransom :) I'm seriously thinking of getting someone to do mine... I'm to big and tired!

We pay $11 for 5 business at one of the Westfield's drycleaners near DH's office.

I've seen them advertise for around $12 an hour, and i'd be willing to pay that.

Good Luck with it!
