Hi everyone.
We are all struggling to come to terms with the effects of Coronavirus and level 3 has been an unwelcome development.
As a small business, we wish to stay available to our customers.
However, it may not be possible to adhere to regular opening hours during this crisis.
If you arrive to find the door closed, you can call any of these two numbers and we can be here within 5 minutes.
Also, we will text or call you when the clothes are ready for collection and we can be here to meet you at a selected time.
Hopefully, yet again,this will be a very temporary measure but we feel that this is the best way to keep working for you during this time. Sorry for any inconvenience to all.

We are currently going through uncollected items of bedding with a view to sending them off to Belarus tomorrow.. Here is a photo of some of the blankets and throws that have been here for a few months. If anyone recognises any of the items and wish to collect them, can you text me on 0861599927 this evening or tomorrow at the latest as they will be heading off with the convoy tomorrow evening. As they have been here for a long time, I am hoping that they will go to a place where they will be useful and appreciated and help people in need. Also, if anyone has anything else which has remained uncollected for a long time, please get in touch and we can organise delivery to you if necessary as we need to free up space for renovations taking place in the premises in the next few weeks. Many thanks for reading and please share as we would like to get in touch with as many owners as possible before the deadline. P.s, this only applies to items here for 3 months or longer. Thank you from ship shape launderette.

In relation to the recent flooding of Bridge street, Ship Shape launderette and Dry cleaners was fortunate to have sustained no damage to premises or stock during the unprecedented event on Wednesday evening. Thankfully, due to the valiant work of the fire service, the business was spared the devastation experienced by other unfortunate properties on the street and we are extremely grateful to all the workers who gave up their time into the early hours of the morning to deal with the unfolding situation. Thanks to Viv and Mary O'Flathery, on hand to help, all the Clothes and garments were removed from harms way and the small bit of water which did enter the building didn't cause any damage.
Things are very much back to normal again and we are now up to date with our workload following a short delay in the aftermath of the flood.
The general tidy up which took place the next day facilitated us to take stock of the items in the premises which remain uncollected for a long period of time. There's quite a few duvets, three piece suits and dresses which we have had for a good number of months. If you would like to find out if there is any item or garment of yours uncollected, they are all named and you can call 9731154 to find out if we have anything belonging to you.
We intend to do a small bit of work to the premises to install some new equipment and it would be preferable if these garments were returned to their owners before Friday the 10th of November to allow us free up space to get the work done. Uncollected items on our books for over 6 months on that date will be donated to the local charity shop to maximise space in the shop.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal customers who have supported us so much during this year of major changes for the business. You have helped to secure our future in killybegs and we are eternally grateful to you all.
