Frequently Asked Questions - Pressing Service in North Park
How does the pressing service work?
Schedule pickup online or by phone. We pick up wrinkled garments from your North Park 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 North Park, commercial steam pressing, starch application per your preference, quality packaging on hangers, vintage fabric expertise, and next-day return to your doorstep.
How do you price pressing?
Per item: shirts $4.50, pants $6.50, blouses $5.50, vintage items starting at $5.50. Minimum order $25 plus $5.99 transportation charge. Most weekly orders cost $25-40, depending on volume.
Can you handle vintage clothing from thrift stores?
Absolutely! We understand vintage fabrics and use appropriate, gentle handling. Whether it's a thrift find from North Park boutiques or a treasured vintage piece, we apply suitable temperatures and careful pressing techniques.
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?
Yes! We adjust temperature and technique based on fabric type. Silk requires gentle, lower-temperature pressing. Linen gets appropriate heat for crisp results. Vintage materials receive special, gentle care.
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.
How does pickup work in North Park's walkable neighborhood?
We come directly to your address, apartment, Craftsman cottage, or condo. No need to walk to drop-off locations or drive anywhere. Just schedule a time, and we'll handle pickup and delivery.
Why is professional pressing better than home ironing?
Commercial steam presses deliver superior heat distribution, better steam penetration, and consistent results impossible with home irons. Plus, you save 2-3 hours weekly for breweries, concerts, art walks, or the Farmers Market.
Can I get crisp creases in my pants?
Absolutely! We create sharp, professional creases or smooth finishes based on your preference. Business formal sharp creases, creative professional 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, vintage handling requirements, and any special instructions. We follow your preferences consistently every time.
Why should North Park residents use a pressing service?
Save 2-3 hours weekly. Perfect for apartment living without an ironing space. Spend time at Thursday Farmers Market, Observatory concerts, brewery tours, Ray at Night, or North Park Music Fest instead of ironing. Professional appearance guaranteed, commercial equipment delivers results that home irons can't match.
