A Simple School Uniform Ironing Routine

Check the coming week

Start with what your household actually needs. Check which uniform items are ready, which need washing and which simply need ironing. A quick wardrobe check can be more useful than tackling an entire basket without a plan.

Follow the care labels

Uniform items can have different fabrics, trims and printing. Follow the washing and ironing instructions on each label. Do not assume that one treatment suits every polo shirt, skirt or pair of trousers. If you are unsure about an item, ask about suitability before including it.

Keep preparation separate

NIS provides ironing rather than washing or dry cleaning. Items should be clean and dry before collection. Keep any special instructions with the relevant items and explain your preferences when booking.

Plan around when clothes are needed

Work out which pieces are essential first and allow time to arrange collection and return. Most NIS orders are returned the next day, but confirm the timing of your own order. An occasional ironing collection can help with a backlog; regular help may suit a household with repeated weekly needs. The aim is a manageable routine, not a promise that every busy morning will disappear.

To arrange ironing collection and delivery, book through the NIS website or call 01606 870001. Tell us about your location, items and preferred arrangements.
