Laundry and ironing work in Co. Meath
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.
The commuter belt works on a different rhythm to the city. Households here are usually out during the day and want a key-holder they trust rather than someone different each week — which means the work tends to be regular, and the client relationships tend to last longer than in the centre.
