Selected answer:Laundry services costing up to £2.20 per overall/uniform may be claimed as expenses

Explanation:
The idea is that laundry services may be claimed as expenses, but in this case, not for a rate any higher than £2.20 per overall/uniform.

"Overall" is a type of full-body denim garment, if that was the question

Explanation:
I believe it means that anything you take to the dry-cleaner, you can claim as an expense, at no more than 2.20 per item, which may be the standard price dry-cleaner charges.

Hope this helped!
