Laundry and ironing work in Co. Dublin
Laundry and ironing is the work that fits around everything else, and it is often done from home rather than at the client. It suits someone who wants predictable hours, and it attaches easily to changeover work where linen has to be turned around anyway.
Dublin has the densest cleaning market in the country, and the most competition for it. Apartment turnovers, short-let changeovers and office contracts run all year rather than in season, which is what makes it possible to build a full week here without travelling far between jobs.
