    They did a fantastic job of cleaning an old filthy set of black-out curtains. We recommend this place!

    Ask the Community - Besson's Cleansing

    How much would it cost to alter a dress (shorten the hem and take in around the bust)?

    Please bring dress in for fitting. Once we see the dress and pin it to the right size, then I can tell you the price. There are so many unknown variables such as number of layers of lining, pleats, elastics, ect ect. We have very competitive pricing… Read more

    Did my fluff and fold in a day for what a couple of shirts would have cost.

My Experience: I needed to get a comforter cleaned because my washer and dryer are too small to accommodate them. I dropped it off on a Wednesday morning with no issues and picked it up Thursday afternoon. The comforter was perfectly cleaned; there was not even a piece of hair or anything left on it. They even sewed up a hole from the one time I tried to wash my comforter with no extra charge! Whenever I need dry cleaning or anything tricky cleaned, I will 100% use Mass Court Cleaners.

    After researching other tailors/dry cleaners in the area as a new resident to the neighborhood, I…read moredecided to give this place a try given that all of the other places have horrible reviews. That being said I'm so glad I came here. I needed some clothes altered and she did a wonderful job. She was very knowledgeable and chatted with me about what I wanted for the hems on the pants I needed tailored and offered really helpful input. Will definitely be a returning and frequent customer for both tailoring and dry cleaning. Also, dropped my clothes off (2 pairs of pants and a shirt) on a Tuesday and they were ready by Saturday morning. I wasn't in a rush to get them back so I was pleased with the timeliness of the service. And finally, yes, this place is expensive. But honestly, I'd rather pay more for a job well done then go anywhere else in the area and have them ruin my clothes. The reviews that are knocking the prices obviously haven't lived in DC long enough, everything here is expensive. That being said, if you're looking for a bargain, I would look elsewhere.
