Ironing by the Kilo: 

What You Should Know Before Choosing a Service

Ironing clothes is one of the most time-consuming household tasks. That’s why more and more people search for services like “ironing by the kilo”, aiming to save time and effort.

However, before choosing this type of service, it’s important to understand what “by the kilo” really means—and how it differs from professional garment-by-garment ironing.

What Does “Ironing by the Kilo” Mean?

In “by the kilo” ironing services, clothes are collected in bulk and pricing is based on total weight.

This usually includes everyday items such as:

• T-shirts
• Loungewear
• Towels
• Bed sheets
• Casual clothing

The idea behind this service is fast turnaround and lower cost per kilo.

What Are the Disadvantages?

Although ironing by the kilo may seem cost-effective, there are several important factors to consider:

1. Not All Clothes Are Treated the Same Way

A business shirt, a linen dress, and a delicate fabric require completely different care compared to towels or casual wear.

2. Limited Individual Attention

Bulk services usually apply standardized processes, with little attention to each individual garment.

3. Risk of Fabric Damage

Incorrect temperature or pressure can affect fabric quality and reduce the lifespan of your clothes.

Why CleverWASH Does Not Offer Ironing by the Kilo

At CleverWASH, we focus on quality and proper garment care.

That’s why we do not operate with a “by the kilo” ironing model. Instead:

• each fabric is assessed individually
• the appropriate ironing technique is applied
• attention is given to every detail
• garments are returned perfectly pressed and carefully handled

For us, proper garment care can never be a mass production process.

When Should You Choose Professional Ironing Services?

Professional ironing is ideal when you want:

• a perfect appearance for business clothing
• proper care for shirts and delicate fabrics
• time savings without compromising quality
• longer-lasting garments 

Proper Care Makes the Difference

Ironing is not just about appearance. Proper care helps garments maintain their shape, texture, and quality for a longer time.
