Finding a Drycleaning Outfit You Can Trust
Our ratings turn up many local drycleaners who can tune up your clothes. The really good news? Many top-rated shops also charge low prices, meaning they won’t clean out your wallet while they clean your wardrobe.
Which Drycleaning Shops Charge Low Prices?
Although you want to use a quality drycleaner, you also want one that charges reasonable prices. Our price comparisons reveal astonishing shop-to-shop price differences. And you don’t have to pay high prices to get high-quality results.
Do I Really Need to Dry Clean It?
That outfit was expensive enough—do you really have to add to its cost by paying for drycleaning? If you learn a few tricks (and read care labels closely), the answer is “maybe not.”
