Fabulous pressing of my smart winter jacket which has a knap a bit like velvet. I was struggling to press the jacket at home and making marks on the surface. Huge thanks to Sandra for making my much loved jacket look first class again and making good my messy work!
Fabulous service . I booked for collection they came the next morning to pick up the duvet. Duvet was done quicker than est return date bloody amazing service. 👏
Pressing Needs are fabulous in every way! Their customer service is excellent, their laundry service is 100 % reliable and a very good price compared to their competitors. Everyone in the company is a pleasure to deal with. I recently hired linen tablecloths and chair covers for an event I was organising - all the items were absolutely immaculate and all delivered and collected again easily after the event. I higly recommend ALL the services this company offers.
I contacted Pressing Needs to see if they could help me last minute dry cleaning a dress I needed for a wedding, after another dry cleaners didn’t want to risk cleaning it. Verity was super quick to reply and assured me they could help. The whole service was so quick and easy. The dress cleaned up like brand new! I can highly recommend Pressing Needs. Thank you Verity!
Had some dresses cleaned, collected/delivered from my house. They now look fantastic, well packaged, smell lovely and fresh too. Excellent service from lovely people. Will use again. Great company.
Can’t rave enough about this business, always there at the end of the phone to help, they go above and beyond for us- laundry smells fantastic and folded beautifully! They have helped our business massively! Would highly recommend:)
Very happy with my weekly laundry service, prompt collection and delivery thank you
This company is by far the best linen laundry service I have used. I totally rely on them now for my businesses. They run a fast and efficient service where all my linen is labelled and more importantly not lost! All the staff are welcoming and really helpful. Everything is organised and structured in the building too which gives me a high level of confidence working with them. Very happy customer! Thanks all, Stacey
Quality Service - Quick turn around from collection to return. I have used Pressing Needs for 3 years. It’s keenly priced and particularly in the winter means no more wet washing around the house. Duvet laundering is excellent. Have always found laundry is treated with care. Highly recommended.
Fantastic service. Laundry, ironing, small sewing jobs, you name it they will sort it. And they pick up and drop off on top! Recommend to everyone.
I have been using Pressing Needs for many years. The service is excellent, friendly staff too and very reliable
A shout out to Pressing Needs Fareham who offer a fantastic level of support to me personally and also to my restaurant On the Water at Lee on the Solent. The level of service and attention to detail shown by the team is something very special - many professional service firms could learn from this team. If you want a job done properly use Pressing Needs.
Pressing Needs is always professional and deliver what they promise. I find it it a great help as I get older to have the ironing done whenever I need it and would very much recommend their service.
I love the Pressing Needs service. They are so responsive and cheerful. They do exactly what it says on the tin! They come when they say they will, deliver lovely washing, ironing and dry cleaning and do it really p[promptly and efficiently. It is one of the luxuries of life to settle down to sleep in bedding prepared by them!
We have been using Pressing Needs to wash and iron large amounts of bedlinen for several years and have never had a problem of any sort. The lovely lady who comes in her van to collect the bags of linen is always reliable and friendly and the whole service operates seamlessly. They always answer emails promptly as well which is much appreciated. Thank you to everyone at Pressing Needs for looking after us so well.
We are using the services since several years and are very happy with them. The laundry and occasional shirts and or dry cleaning items are treated with care and always come back immaculate. We also used the duvet cleaning which was also super. We like the collection and delivery service, always friendly and as foreseen. The communication with the friendly Pressing Needs team and the website for ordering is easy to use.
I’ve used Pressing Needs for some years now for my ironing and they’ve never been anything other than reliable and generally excellent. I also appreciate the friendly service and responsiveness to my requests for additional services, such as cleaning and reproofing my walking jacket. They recently washed and ironed my white linen tablecloth (inherited from my mum) after it had been badly stained by Christmas dinner guests, restoring it to pristine whiteness. I would recommend Pressing Needs without reservation.
I have been a customer of Pressing Needs for many years and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their customer service is excellent from the staff who greet you, the team who provide the service whether it is washing and ironing my bedding or dry cleaning services, to the driver who returns and picks up my items from my home. They provide a valuable service not only to me but also my elderly mum.
Pressing Needs and Boxed Bridal saved my lovely lehengas! With many other dry cleaning services not being able to take on the challenges that comes with cleaning lehengas, the pressing needs team were brave enough to take on the challenges. I appreciated the transparency about what they would or wouldn't be able to do for my outfits. My lehengas were returned to me in pristine condition and they smelt wonderful. I would not hesitate to recommend their services. Thank you Nickie, Verity and team 💗
A fantastic service . Collected at time agreed, wash and ironed and returned in plastic sleeves . Really efficient service
Excellent pricing and communication. It's so handy having someone collect and deliver, and the customer service is top notch. It was my first time using Pressing Needs but they are my new go-to. 10/10
We use 'Pressing Needs Laundry Service' every year for all our holiday fleet caravan curtains here at Solent Breezes Holiday Park the service is second to none with free collection and delivery and always a fantastic proffesional job done everytime our curtains come back like new with friendly helpful staff Thanks Again Verity and all the team
The most affordable duvet cleaning service in Southampton (after a lot of search!). Delivered as promised: duvet collection last Friday, clean duvet delivery the very next Friday, in a lovely duvet storage bag. Fantastic prompt service, great value for money. Special thanks to Tracey for her stellar communication and coordination via email, as well as to the friendly lady driver who delivered the duvet. Keep it up, I will spread the word about you and I will be a returning customer. Stamatina
I have been several times, they do a really good job and they are very quick.
Would highly recommend Pressing Needs! Excellent communication, brilliant service and the cheapest place around. My drycleaning came back like new. Will definitely be using them again in the future 😊
I can not speak more highly of this place. Will help in any way they can. I have only been in 3 times but the service is perfect and the staff are just a joy to visit. Everyone is smiling. I want more stuff to clean so I can visit again! Thanks for your great service and friendliness.
Really great service. Four suits collected from my home address on Monday morning, cleaned and returned to my by Thursday morning. Competitive pricing made even better by Blue Light Card discount. Thanks.
Fabulous service with cleaning and reproofing over 120 sailing items (bunk covers, jackets and salopetes) . Excellent results - didn't even know that they were meant to be that colour! Helpful and cheerful staff, would definitely recommend.
I needed a mattress topper cleaned, PN collected it on a Thursday and returned it the following Tuesday, clean as new, so excellent service. A nice touch was returning it rolled up in a round canvas bag (it had a zip around one end) just the thing to store my winter or summer duvet in depending on the time of year.
I used pressing needs whilst having a new kitchen fitted. I was extremely impressed at the service. I will continue to use them in the future for occasional washes.
Been using Pressing needs services for labcoat laundry for a biotech based in London. Great service and experience each time. The team is very timely and responsive; and always such a nice time interacting with them. They offer pick up and delivery services as well, which again is super convenient.
Service and standard of cleaning is impeccable. Efficient collection and home delivery, staff very friendly and accommodating. They managed to remove an awful grease stain in the middle of a Ted Baker maxi dress and it looks immaculate! Also cleaned a Zara blazer and all stains and pen marks removed. Have used Pressing Needs for many years and will continue to do so! Thank you!
Great service and so helpful especially if you're in a hurry. Asked for a quick turnaround and they were able to help on this occasion!
I had some favourite cream trousers which I had inadvertently managed to get what looked like tar on the back of them. I rang pressing needs who were very understanding and sympathetic, and explained clearly their different methods to try and remove the stains. I am delighted to say that it was very successful and there is just a very faint mark left. Thank you so much Pressing Needs!
Verity was very helpful in organising the collection and return of 4 duvets. The turn around time was quick and delivered back to the door in nice storage bags. Thanks to everyone involved for the great service. Very impressed 👌
We use Pressing Needs for the washing, ironing and folding of our tea towels, microfibre cloths and staff aprons for our busy cafe/bar. We have a weekly collection and delivery service. The service has always been excellent and we have always been very impressed with their customer service and friendliness of the team. We recommend Pressing Needs to you without reservation or hesitation!
I own a health & wellness clinic and have been using Pressing Needs since we opened 7 years ago. We use their pick up and drop service twice a week which is very convenient and I drop them 2 more loads a week. Tracey who usually picks up and brings in our fresh laundry is always cheerful and willing, despite the heavy laundry bags. When I drop off laundry, it is perhaps one of the happiest places of work that I have ever encountered. Always a good vibe and staff are helpful even when run off their feet. I have to mention Steph, who seems to run the place on a Saturday and again a star performer. I would definitely recommend using Pressing Needs for your laundry needs.
Thanks very much for providing a great service, never an issue, always happy to help and not once a crease in the sleeve of my shirts and can always get to us even when I remember last minute, would thoroughly recommend.
I am so happy with my washing done by pressing needs! Thank you! Collection and drop off is an absolute bonus! Great service
Really good service, collected a load of ironing from my flat and delivered it all professionally packed a few days later. Exceptionally good, courteous service and a very good business to deal with. Quick responses to emails and friendly throughout. I cannot fault one single thing. 100% recommend.
We have used Pressing Needs a couple of times now and our experience is as impressive as ever. Quick replies to our messages, free collection and delivery and when I asked to have our winter blanket returned earlier it was done with no fuss. Large winter blanket returned within 3 days of collection fresh and clean and honestly the price is excellent. Hands down some of the best service we have received from a local business. Thank you Pressing Needs, until the next time!
I used Pressing Needs for several years to iron my shirts etc, and their service was impeccable. They never missed a weeks collection or delivery, ironing was always perfect and every interface I had with them was super courteous and helpful. I took a break for a couple of years (largely because I stopped wearing work shirts) but decided to use PN again recently and was delighted to find nothing had changed. Same efficient service, prompt response to my enquiries and a whole stack of beautifully finished shirts/T shirts, it was like I’d never been away. Thank you to everyone at Pressing Needs. It is firms like you who keep the world going round because you offer a fabulous service, you employee people who pay taxes, you pay taxes on company profits and are a shining example of making a net contribution to our economy. You should all be very proud!!
Paid to have my shirts ironed. They had them a week and when I got them back the sleeves had tram lines, some looked as though they hadn't even been ironed and were hidden in the middle and weren't in the clear celofan. Then when we went back after inspection they said they had been ironed and all they did was put them in a press and it made almost no difference they seemed that creases were fine. I'm going to have to take all of them to another company to be redone as there quality control doesn't seem all that great. Sorry to post this but hopefully it helps them to become better.
Went to Boxed Bridal, part of this company. Highly recommended for wedding dress cleaning. Lovely knowledgeable staff. Beautifully cleaned and boxed for storage. Highly recommended.
Brilliant!! Holiday ironing all done folded/hung. Don't want to wear the t-shirts or polo's as I'll have to iron them and they won't look as good!!!
Always a great service here. They turned around my wool coat in 2.5 days. We usually get all our duvets cleaned here too.
Thank you for your reply. It’s nice that you took the time to do it; much appreciated. 👍
Great place with friendly service. They we're able to take some curtains and a duvet the same day just after Christmas and they were ready on the date specified. I also thought the pricing was very reasonable considering the size of both items. Will definitely be using them again.
Very skilled, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly team. They had their work cut out, Wedding Dresses look like new again, simply outstanding! Great to be there to look at them one last time, before being beautifully packaged up. Great value for money, thanks again.
Exceptional laundry service. I have tried a number over the years and nothing beats Pressing Needs for professionalism, quality and care. Would not hesitate to recommend.
My beautiful wedding dress looks as good as it did new. An amazing job and beautifully boxed. Definitely recomend without a doubt. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. And most certainly know how to look after your dress. Well worth every penny 😊
Great service - both pressing needs and boxed bridal are fast, efficient, and friendly!
Fantastic service, very helpful! Have managed to keep up with our vans full of uniforms during covid-19!
Really good for ironing bed linen and my pet hate, shirts. Will also dry clean too. A variety of services are on offer. Staff are very friendly.
This really is the best dry cleaners. Every year they clean and press my professional Santa costume beautifully!
Verity Naylor have no people skills and cannot deal with customer complaints with professionalism
They always offer a great service and its everbody is always happy. Would recommend.
Brilliant customer service:- advice on different treatments. Turnaround incredible. - always friendly and extremely helpful
