Maybe you didnt understand, because nearly all the cleaners have hemd service costs about 5fr a shirt or did you want to wash yourself and just bring in for ironing?
Is there any update on this at all? In the UK I used to wash and dry my husband's shirts and take to a dry cleaner to get ironed for around 50p each. Do you know if you can get that service here... and not for 5chf per shirt!! My ironing basket is overflowing and I can't keep up!!!!
The service exists, but it's likely to cost closer to CHF5- than 50p per shirt. I'd long ago outsourced the ironing of my shirts before moving to Switzerland, but here the costs are high enough that I'm once again standing in front of the ironing board.
Even if you employ someone, you'll need to count on paying them around CHF25 per hour minimum, plus their AHV contributions, plus the cost of accident insurance (~CHF100 per year). Assuming that they're reasonably quick, they'll get through ten shirts an hour -- or still around CHF3- per shirt. That's using your equipment and your premises. Taking it to a shop will, of course, cost you more.
Welcome to Switzerland. You'll grow numb to the pain eventually.
Look out for Groupon and DeinDeal offers. I've got my shirts down to 2-3 each including collection and delivery using the various offers I've seen over the last few months. Failing that my local place does them at 3.50 a shirt, but the offers have been regular enough (with occasional ironing when I've forgotten to book a delivery) not to need to iron for work for about 6 months.
My advice is to give him the basket and show him this video if necessary.
I'm lucky, my hubby wears a uniform at work which they send out to have laundered and his day-to-day attire is very "wash and wear."
My mother only ironed my father's uniforms for the first few months of their marriage, by the time I was old enough to make any note of such things growing up, my father doing his own laundry and ironing.
