That is absurd. My husband pays $20 to get his suits dry-cleaned at our local place in NE |
Can anyone recommended a decent but affordable dry cleaner? I am going to consign a bunch of items and want to get them cleaned first but don’t want to spend a fortune. Items are wool suits and dresses (Theory, Tory Burch). |
Price you pay for being lazy. |
How doesn't place like this stay in business? Do they have regular clients who are extremely rich and don't care about price? |
Of course it was. I was going to get my wedding dress cleaned there 18 years ago. I think they wanted $500. Ridiculous. It didn’t even have beading or lace or anything intricate. They said because it had a train. It’s still hanging in my closet uncleaned. What a racket that place is. |
They are the go to place for wedding dress cleaning. |
Glad to find a place that does reweaving! Thanks for the link, OP! |
I knew it was going to be Parkway - they are notorious for their high prices. |
Prices are out of control - I live in Reston and was quoted $9 for a pair of pants, which I thought was on the high end of reasonable. When I went to pick up, they more than doubled the price and I had to pay $22 because it was a "luxury item". I'm going to cut the label out of my clothes before I take them to be dry cleaned from now on. They weren't what I would consider a luxury brand - they were Lafayette 148 and I bought them on sale at Nordstrom for $200. |
I usually take things to zips, and I have to say they barely clean anything. It’s okay for sort of refreshing things but it doesn’t get out any stains. And I hate, hate the fragrance. My kingdom for an unscented dry cleaner. |
If it's not a fancy couture dress or gown, Dryel is my go-to dry cleaning solution for basic dresses, sweaters, etc. |

LOL - I guess privilege has its price. |
I have an Armani dress that I don't want to take to my go-to 2.99/piece dry cleaner. Any recommendations for Bethesda area please! |
Probably have a high delivery fee so if you added more clothing items, the 'per item' cost would lower. |
+1 Or costumes or kilts or other rare crazy expensive special things. There are people who will go there specifically from another county to do their special items. They are specialists with a wide and good reputation. That's how they stay in business. Not for every day. Just like you don't buy your paper towels at whole foods. |
