How much does dry cleaning cost?
If you are shopping for a dry cleaner, it can be tough to know how much your dry cleaning will cost in advance. The price varies depending on the method of cleaning, services included, number of items and the types of items. Ask if there are extra fees like material or environmental fees – we do not add these fees to your bill.
Fabric, Details and Styles
Delicate fabrics like silk or satin require more gentle handling, which can increase the cost. Details on your clothes, such as beads, sequins, and custom stitching, also require special attention. Some items are designed with structural detail like pleats and layers, which can increase the time and attention needed for cleaning. Formal wear requires different service, and the price will reflect this.
Special Treatment
In addition, your item might require stain removal or odour treatment. Our dry cleaning staff is trained in the careful removal of spots and stains while preserving your garment.
Additional Services
You may request additional services along with your dry cleaning, such as repairs and alterations. These extra services will impact the overall price of your dry cleaning.
