Singaporeans are busy bees, and when we’re beat after a long hard day at work, some of us just can’t find it in us to get up and do our household chores.
Amongst all these chores, perhaps one of the most time-consuming one is ironing, which requires some level of skill. Due to materials that crease easily, some clothes simply won’t straighten out properly no matter how many times you try, and it can be difficult trying to iron big items on a tiny ironing board.
Not to worry, as there are external ironing services ready at your beck and call to help you lessen the load.
P.S.: If you need help with washing, check out our article on laundry services with home delivery and pickup here.
