Professional Garment Pressing for La Mesa Residents

Frequently Asked Questions - Pressing Service in La Mesa

How does the pressing service work?
Schedule pickup online or by phone. We pick up wrinkled garments from your La Mesa address, press them with commercial equipment at our facility, and deliver them back crisp and ready to wear the next business day.
What's included in the service?
Everything: free pickup and delivery throughout La Mesa, commercial steam pressing, starch application per your preference, quality packaging on hangers, and next-day return to your doorstep.
How do you price pressing?
Per item: shirts $4.50, pants $6.50, blouses $5.50. Minimum order $25 plus $5.99 transportation charge. Most weekly orders cost $25-40, depending on volume.
What's the difference between pressing and dry cleaning?
Pressing uses heat and steam on clean garments to remove wrinkles. Dry cleaning uses chemical solvents to clean soiled garments. Pressed items should be relatively clean; stained or heavily soiled items need dry cleaning.
Can you handle delicate fabrics like silk and linen?
Absolutely! We adjust temperature and technique based on fabric type. Silk requires gentle, lower-temperature pressing. Linen gets appropriate heat for crisp results. Each fabric receives proper treatment.
Do you offer starch?
Yes! Choose light (subtle crispness), medium (traditional business), heavy (very crisp), or no starch. Tell us your preference once, and we remember and apply it consistently.
How quickly can I get items back?
Next business day. Schedule pickup Monday-Saturday and receive delivery the following day. Same-day service is not available for pressing.
Can you press blazers and suit jackets?
Light pressing to remove minor wrinkles is included. Full cleaning or significant stain removal requires our dry cleaning service. We'll advise which service your item needs.
Do you work around professional schedules?
Yes! We offer flexible pickup times (morning, afternoon, evening) and contactless service options. Schedule around your work hours; we adapt to professional demands.
Can I get crisp creases in my pants?
Absolutely! We create sharp, professional creases or smooth finishes based on your preference. Military-style creases, business casual smooth finish, or custom specifications.
How do I prepare for pickup?
Hang items on hangers or fold them in a bag. Check pockets (we're not responsible for items left in pockets). Items should be relatively clean; heavily soiled garments need dry cleaning instead.
Can I set specific preferences?
Yes! Tell us starch level, crease style, hanger vs. folded delivery, and any special instructions. We follow your preferences consistently every time.
Why should La Mesa professionals use a pressing service?
Save 2-3 hours weekly. Eliminate ironing board frustration. Achieve commercial-quality results impossible with home irons. Spend evenings at La Mesa Village, Lake Murray, or with family instead of ironing. Professional appearance guaranteed.
