Children's items or cloth napkins typically cost less than $1 to press in 2009. Two curtain panels or two panels of heavy drapes may cost $3 to 10 or more if a home-based service irons them. Laundry services may charge $20 or more for ironing large items with yards of fabric or drapes with a separate lining.

There is a difference in taste between freshly made pasta and dried pasta. Fresh pasta is usually lighter and more tender, whereas dried pasta is more firm and thicker. Certain shapes, like long string and ribbon pastas, lend themselves more easily to fresh pasta. Pastas that are grooved or tubular are usually available only as dry pasta. You can tell when fresh pasta is finished cooking when it rises to the water's surface; it should only take a few minutes. Dried pasta will take about twice as long. Read the manufacturer's instructions so you don't overcook it.
