Dry cleaning collected from your home, dropped at the cleaners, and delivered back when ready. That errand you never have time for - sorted.
The Errand You Keep Putting Off
Your suit's been sat by the door for three weeks. Every morning you think "I'll drop it at the cleaners today." Every evening you get home having forgotten. Again.
Meanwhile, you need that suit for next week's event. The dry cleaners closes at 5:30pm. You finish work at 5:30pm. See the problem?
I'll collect it, drop it off, pick it up when ready, and return it to you. One less thing on your mental to-do list.
💡 Pro tip: Combine this with other errands - if I'm already running dry cleaning for you, adding a pharmacy prescription collection or posting parcels barely adds any time.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to manage dry cleaning better yourself? Here's what helps:
🔧 Making it easier
- Keep dry cleaning bag in car permanently
- Set phone reminder for Friday mornings
- Use cleaners with Saturday opening hours
- Find one near your commute route
- Keep collection tickets in wallet
💡 Reducing dry cleaning needs
- Check if items can be hand washed instead
- Spot-clean small marks rather than full clean
- Steam clothes between wears
- Buy machine-washable work clothes
- Air out suits instead of cleaning after every wear
📱 Modern solutions
- Some cleaners offer collect/deliver service themselves
- Apps like Laundrapp in some areas
- Workplace cleaners that visit offices
- Local Facebook groups often have collection services
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Losing the collection ticket (take photo immediately)
- Forgetting which cleaners you used
- Not checking pockets before dropping off
- Leaving items for months uncollected
🎨 Pro trick: Take a photo of the collection ticket AS SOON as you get it, and set a phone reminder for the collection date. Eliminates the classic "where's that ticket?" panic.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
👔 Exeter dry cleaners: If you don't have a regular place, I can recommend reliable cleaners around Exeter - Magdalen Road, Sidwell Street, or Heavitree areas all have good options.
Multiple people? If you and your partner both need regular dry cleaning runs, one collection covers both. Some households have me collect everyone's work wear at once weekly.
Business use? This works for small businesses too - restaurant uniforms, office wear, shop outfits. Regular scheduled collections keep staff looking professional without them having to manage it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the dry cleaning collection service work?
I collect the items from your home, take them to your preferred dry cleaners (or recommend one in Exeter if you don't have one), drop them off with any specific instructions you've given me, then collect and return them to you when they're ready. Simple errand running.
Do I pay you or the dry cleaners?
You pay the dry cleaners directly for the cleaning - I just collect the receipt. My fee is just for the collection and delivery service. I can pay the cleaners on your behalf if you leave cash/card details, or you can settle direct.
Can you do regular collections like weekly work shirts?
Yes - if you need regular dry cleaning runs (weekly work wear, for example), we can set up a standing arrangement. Same day each week, collected and returned on a schedule. Makes life much easier than trying to fit it in yourself.
What if the dry cleaners have questions about stains or fabric?
Either you brief me before I go, or I'll message you from the shop with photos. Most cleaners are pretty straightforward, but if there's a specific stain or fabric concern, I'll make sure they understand and get your approval before proceeding.
How long does the whole service take?
Collection takes 30 mins or so. Then the items are at the cleaners for however long they need (usually 2-3 days). When they're ready, I collect and return them - another 30 mins. So two short trips a few days apart.
