Dry Cleaning Resource Links
We are often
asked to recommend a cleaner in another city to those moving out
of the area or as a reference for a friend or family member. We
would love to be your cleaner even if you live outside our service
area. That is why we came up with our CleanByMail service, particularly
for your specialty garments (ties, knits, etc.). However, for your
everyday clothes there are some other excellent cleaners scattered
throughout the country. The best are those identified as a member
of the Leading Cleaners Internationale, of which we are one of
the five founding members. Please visit the Leading Cleaners Internationale website for further information. However, along with the Leading
Cleaners we have included below some other cleaners of recognition
as well. If you live in an area that we have not provided a recommendation,
talk to the manager of the designer or couture department of the
finest garment retailers in your area. Ask a few and see if there
is a consensus. Please click below if you have a favorite dry cleaner you would like us to consider adding to our list!
