I dropped by Dry Clean Nova to pick up my clothes at 2:00 today. The signs on the windows clearly state that the shop is open until 5:00 on Sunday, but an employee was locking the door and making tracks for her car! I called her back and showed her the signs saying "5:00." She did unlock the door and wait on me and another customer who'd come along, but I have no doubt that she is now locking up again. Forget about posted hours!! Who even cares? Not Dry Clean Nova!! As I wrote this, ANOTHER customer came to the locked door.

The left is how ALL of the coat's seams were done originally. The right is their version of sewing.

I wish I could give 0 stars because they shouldn't even get one. My husband is active duty and had brought his shirts to be pressed, they put a double crease in the sleeve that I had to fix, okay that should've been the dealbreaker there. A week later he drops off my favorite wool Façonnable coat, this is a vintage coat, with impecable seam work. I picked it up and noticed when I got home that the seams had been redone with a serger machine with white thread, (my coat is a heather grey, Façonnable would have never used a serger to finish a seam let alone with a different color thread). On the top of the coat I am noticing part of the seams are coming undone. I had dropped off another coat before I noticed this disaster so I came back the following day to retrieve it and speak to the manager about this disgrace. The Manager/owner had gone for the day and the gentleman in the front insisted that they didn't do it and it was dropped off that way. I don't know what is worse, the fact that they ruined my absolute favorite coat or that as business they don't even have the courage to tell their clientele when they messed up and how they plan to fix it. The audacity of the cashier to tell me the coat was dropped off that way, as if I couldn't tell the difference. I AM A TAILOR! I sincerely believe that had they called me over the weekend (which they can do because they track your stuff by phone number) and told me what had happened I would've picked it up, in pieces if I had to, and would've fixed it myself. I would've appreciated that, probably not brought anything more to the shop but I wouldn't have left this review. But I hope that if this doesn't stop you from dropping off with them, it at the very least forces you to take photographs of the items you drop off and review the items before you leave.

See all

Had a bridesmaid dress and rehearsal dinner dress hemmed to be shortened and they did a great job. Would recommend again.

They are also reasonably convenient for me to get to on the days I work nearby in Fairfax.

Dry Clean 175 - The damaged sweater

I have used Ultra dry cleaners for 5 years . Recently I gave them my Ann Taylor sweater to dry…read moreclean. It was returned with holes in it. The owner refused to address the issue with me and her employees kept giving me excuses. I went back twice and finally took my sweater back. They did not give an explanation or compensate my loss. Please be careful giving your expensive clothes to this facility.

Used them for years…read more Pros: If I say not to press my pants with a big crease down the front like a 70 year old man has - they make sure not to do it! Low interaction - I walk in hand clothes, pay, and leave. Fast, easy, and no need for me to do a lot of small talk. 24 hours - ready in a day Short lines - longest I ever waited was about 3 minutes TV - if you can't keep yourself occupied for your 2 minutes in line they have a TV on Tailoring - I had them do some light tailoring, like hem pants, etc Cons: Name: Stored was named 175 when price was $1.75. They weren't very forward thinking about what do do when massive inflation walloped the country after electing Biden. Now the store is 175, but services cost more than $1.75. For folks on here that didn't give five stars: 1. They are super cheap. Don't expect them to roll our a red carpet and throw rose petals when you walk in. 2. Quality. All dry cleaners use same equipment and chemicals. If you say "they ruined my ....." its probably because you didn't read the tag to care for your item. More simply - if you bring them something to clean, they will clean it. Don't expect them to be fabric consultants! My expectation is if I say "clean this", then they will.

First time user. Highly impressed with the ease of checking in, the great price compared to other…read morecleaners, and the end result which was ready early! Zips will be my cleaners of choice.

Can I give this place less than 1 star?…read more We have been going to the place for about 3 years because it's in our neighborhood. We have brought clothes and other items to be laundered and dry cleaned. Almost every time I come, this employee 'Esmerelda' rejects some piece of clothing. She has rejected dresses, pants, shirts. Sometimes giving reasons, sometime correcting me about the clothes, or the stain and sometimes just saying they won't clean an item. We have even resorted to washing the shirts before laundering them at this place because of her comments. Today was the last straw, I brought in a Zara dress my wife wore once. Esmeralda rejected "it because the tag doesn't say how to clean it. I pointed out the several tags and QR code from Zara that gave information about how to clean the garment. She refused to take the garment. Because this person has been a problem with me I asked my wife to come out of the car to talk to her and I called the owner. While the owner agreed that that type of garment could be problematic, he agreed that her response wasn't the way to keep customers. I agree they lost our family's business today. While I appreciate the owner taking the call, I am going to choose to not patronize this franchise. We took our other clothes back and will take our business elsewhere while she is still there. I am not sure what her problem is, but I spend too much money on dry cleaning and the prices of everything is too high to deal to pay to deal with rude people.

Excellent quality cleaner. Call ahead of time to confirm pricing. Glad I found them and trusted…read morethem with my expensive shearling leather coat. Appear to do a large quantity of high end apparel and special occasion clothing.

McLean Cleaners promises superior quality (that would purportedly align with his higher prices)…read more Unfortunately it has fallen short of our expectations. Our family has been searching for a reliable dry cleaner that can deliver ready-to-wear clothes. After reading numerous positive reviews, we decided to give McLean Cleaners a try about a year ago, despite the higher cost and having to trek from outside McLean. Our experience has been far from stellar. One of the major issues is that I often have to steam items in our order before wearing them. In particular, the collars on at least half of the women's blouses I receive are creased. It's also not uncommon for our dry cleaning to not be ready when promised. I rarely write reviews, but today's experience was the last straw. We dropped an order a few days ago and were promised pick-up today. Given past experiences, we called twice to confirm it would be ready when promised at 4:00 p.m. We were assured that it would be. When we arrived close to 5:00 p.m., we were informed it was not ready. The associate could provide no explanation as to why. We are disappointed that the level of service does not match the higher cost or the positive reviews. We will likely continue our search for another cleaner that can deliver ready-to-wear clothes when promised. If anyone has recommendations, I'm all ears.
