I've been using Lamont Cleaners since 2010 and haven't had a complaint. They are a great business to the community

This is a great dry cleaners. Their dry cleaning service is timely and high quality. I've had them do both simple jobs (men's shirts) and more challenging ones (women's evening gowns), and they've always done good work. I've been patronizing this business for three years, and they've never lost or damaged anything. In addition to dry cleaning, I've also had them do alterations on men's suits and dress pants many times, and they work has been very good. I've also had them mend jeans, and they've done a really excellent job, with the patching lasting literally years. Finally, they're prices are very competitive. So all in all, I highly recommend this dry cleaner. read more

Incredibly friendly and well-priced laundromat in Mt. Pleasant. I've always had on-time cleaning done here, and also had a minor alteration done that came out well. Same hours as the cleaners down the block, so unfortunately if you're looking for late pickup or something on Sunday, you're still SOL. They do use safety pins here to affix things like skirts to the hangers, which I dislike compared to more gentle options like pinning. I've had good luck with them spot-treating most stained clothing items. read more

They were so honest and transparent about pricing. I brought in some things and they told me I would get a better bang for buck if I just washed certain things at the laundromat down the street. Love the honesty and very happy with results. read more

You really get what you pay for here. The owners are friendly and transparent, they're open after work, and they're easily the most affordable dry cleaner in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, every time I bring clothes here I'm disappointed. This time, my winter sweaters came back with tons of pilling and a dress of mine came back with (easily removable) stains. Highly recommend Mt. Pleasant Dry Cleaners down the street for harder jobs. read more

Easy in and out. I did try to get them to clean "washables" but she gave them back to me. I thought cleaners cleaned laundry clothes too.

One half of this store will cash your checks. The other half will clean your clothing and make alterations as needed. This is my neighborhood dry cleaner, and I like it better than my last one (ZIPS) for several reasons. The first being that, they simply do a terrific job getting out stains. They also do not require pre-payment, which I love. I hated always having to use the ATM at Zips because I had forgotten cash and they didn't take credit. Lamont takes credit cards, woo hoo! As for alterations, I basically took my entire closet to them and said "alter all of these." They did a wonderful job and followed my directions very closely. Truly a talented staff and I'm lucky to have them in my neighborhood! read more

I've had great luck with Lamont Cleaners. I've had both alterations done and clothes dry cleaned. The people who run the store are extremely helpful and unlike a few other tailors I've been to can converse with you, which has led to some bad experiences at other tailors. They only take visa and mastercard, but that's better than a lot of places that only take cash, and you don't have to pre-pay. I've only ever had pants altered there, so I can't speak to how they do on blazers, etc., but so far, I've seen very professional work come out of the shop. Prices are pretty reasonable, about $10 for a hem, and $4.50 to get pants dry cleaned. read more

I've been doing all my dry cleaning here for a couple years now. I've never had any issues and they are friendly and help with any pieces I have questions about. I've also gotten a few things tailored and have been pleased. They may be on the pricier side but it's worth it. read more

I moved to Mt. Pleasant in 1999 and I haven't used another Dry Cleaner since. I've asked them to clean just about everything from clothes to heavy blankets. It always comes back just right. I like their professional service: minimal chit-chat, direct and to the point. That being said, they always have a smile for their customers and they know me by sight. They've also been tolerant of me leaving stuff there for months. My wife found a cheaper place across the park, but after she realized what a pain in the butt it was to drive over there, deal with parking, and not get the friendly service she expected, she became a huge fan of Lamont Cleaners too. You get what you pay for and Lamont Cleaners is worth it. Also worth noting: You can buy stamps, phone cards, and metro passes at their check-cashing/wire service window. read more

Always have a great experience here. I've been taking my dry cleaning here since I moved to Adams Morgan four years ago.

I could not be happier with the service I've received at Lamont Cleaners. The dry cleaning service is great, with a fast turnaround and very reasonable prices. What I'm most impressed with, however, was the tailoring service. They hemmed my pants and jackets perfectly, but best of all, they were able to take in a jacket at least 3 sizes to big for me with complex stitching and materials. The jacket looks great, has a sleek modern fit, and ZERO indication that it was altered. Honest fast service with impeccable quality at great prices - can't be it! read more

This friendly store did a great job tailoring and cleaning my wedding dress. I would highly recommend them for anyone in the neighborhood!

I've been going here at least once a month for three years. The ladies that work here are super friendly and helpful (whether I have a stain, a tear, or an alteration to make), their prices are very reasonable, and they've never tried to up-sell me on their services. For me, it's worth walking ~8 minutes past other dry cleaners to come here. read more

Service was RUDE. As for the 'checks cashed' place on the other side, well those types of establishments are basically kinda evil. Did an ok job with the clothes, but I definitely won't be returning. read more

Very happy to find this place after recently moving into the neighborhood. I took a sweater to be sewn, two pairs of pants and two blouses for cleaning (including a silk one) and the total came to $25! So much more reasonable than most places - yay! It only took three days even with the sewing and the clothes came back nicely sewn and pressed. I'm a fan. You do get a discount when you prepay, but why not you have to pay at some point anyways. read more

This place is ridiculously expensive. They charged me over $4.00 for 1 shirt for dry clean only and $30. for a coat. Are you kidding me. I would rather travel further for a better price or buy a new coat with that price. read more

Great local neighborhood place. The staff are nice and there are good promotions. The prices are fair and I am always happy with the end result. I also feel the staff are very honest and appreciate how multiple times they have told me when something is not worth cleaning or better brining somewhere else. Highly recommend! read more

I just picked up two complicated dress alterations- they nailed it! And they are having a sale right now on alterations so it was a steal too. These are dresses that have been sitting in my closet, completely unwearable, and now it's like getting something brand new! The job was flawless and the customer service was excellent too. I am about to go through my closet to find more stuff for them to fix! read more

Lamont Cleaners is truly a gem in Mt. Pleasant. I have taken multiple pairs of pants to be altered there, and they've done a wonderful job each time, following my directions closely and charging reasonably (about $10). I've never had a bad experience with getting my clothes dry-cleaned, and they have recently started offering environmentally friendly options. In addition, the women who run the store are friendly, kind, and always remember my name and account. They are so talented, as well -- they have fixed a tablecloth that ripped (you can't even tell now), as well as pulling in all the strings on my favorite coat, which is looking a bit worn, each season to help me extend the life of the coat. I love this place! read more

I have lived in Mt. Pleasant for over 7 years and have used this Cleaners about 3-4 times - to drop off a comforter or get shirts pressed. Recently I dropped off a pair of a $200 jeans to be DRY CLEANED. (NOTE: When jeans cost over 200 dollars you dry clean them in hopes of preserving the look and convincing yourself that your 200 dollar purchase was not in vain.) I loving have cared for these jeans for over 2 years and rarely wear them and have only dry cleaned them 2-3 times (NOT AT LAMONT - and always returned in pristine condition). When I picked them up from Lamont they were faded and the fabric texture was compromised. I brought them back to discuss the care and damage of my jeans and was told that I was "not allowed" to speak to a manager, I was "not allowed" to have said managers contact information and that my jeans were as I had dropped them off. I asked when the manager would be in and they evaded my questions - and told me the manager would tell me the same thing they told me and I could come in on Sunday when he MIGHT be there and...... that these jeans I so lovingly preserve were made like this and were naturally faded. Dark rinse jeans...naturally faded?..I dont think you can use those phrases in the same context. I'm a premium denim snob - I know which jeans I allow in a washer machine and what jeans need preservation. These jeans looked as if they went through the spin cycle. I still await the response of the mysterious manager that does not want his contact information given out to customers. read more

Awesome. Organized, on time, reasonable prices, and friendly. Will make an effort to do express service if you need something in a hurry. I also had a dress altered and it was PERFECT. Very happy I found this place. read more

I really appreciate that when I brought something in to be altered, they let me know it ended up costing less and therefore I wasn't going to be charged as much. They could've easily charged me the original amount, but didn't. They seem like honest people who charge fair prices. And everything always comes back fixed and in good shape. I'm glad to have this place in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood. read more

This place is fantastic! Can't vouch for the cleaning but I had a great experience with their alterations. I needed a bunch of skirts taken in so I was trying the different cleaners on Mt Pleasant St. Mt Pleasant Cleaners was going to charge me $35 per skirt, which seemed crazy high to me, even for DC. I went to Lamont Cleaners and it ended up costing $39 for all three skirts! Not only that but they got them done much quicker than the other place offered as well (went in Friday and picked them up Wednesday). The woman who did the alterations really seemed to know what she was doing. She kept checking in with me as she was pinning the garments to make sure I liked how it looked and she looked for different ways to alter one of the skirts so that it would be cheaper for me. The skirts were finished quickly and all fit great. I plan on taking a few more items in this week. Also- you don't have to pre-pay but if you do there is a hefty discount. read more

I started coming here based on Yelp reviews when I moved to the neighborhood. I live in Pleasant Plains, so it's not exactly the most convenient, but to me a good dry cleaners is worth a trek. However, I really don't get why this place has such good reviews. It's perfectly adequate and the prices are OK for the city, but the quality of service is really mediocre (although consistent). I take about $50 worth of clothes in for dry cleaning here a month, and for the most part, everything looks good, but then last time my skirt came back smelling like an arm pit--so bad I can't wear it--and it had lint stuck to it still. I've had things altered here that weren't quite right, brought it back outside the time frame allowed and was charged full price for the fix (I didn't complain, rules are rules, but come on../it was hemming pants). They also don't do a complimentary cleaning of altered items, which has been my experience at most quality cleaners. I think I've been spoiled in the past by really exceptional dry cleaners, so these guys just don't stand out to me. Service is fine, never friendly. Their fitting area leaves much to be desired. It was the first time I'd ever gone somewhere to get pants hemmed and they didn't even have me stand on a stool to get the hem even (which is why I had to come back and get it fixed). There are so many options around, so I think I'll keep looking. read more

Great neighborhood place. Great job on cleaning and really good for alterations (pants/dresses/ straps to be shortened on tops). Oh and they know my phone number by heart! read more

I love Lamont Cleaners. I've been doing all my dry cleaning with them since we moved to Mt. Pleasant six months ago, and the quality of their dry cleaning is great, though the cost is only negligibly more than Zips. Staff is always very friendly and helpful. I haven't gotten anything altered there yet, but wouldn't hesitate to at all. read more

Just moved to the neighbourhood and tried this place. It's great! Good value on alteration service and the repairs were perfect. they also have a handy booth where they sell stamps, provide western union etc. read more

Such nice people and diligent about their work. They do proper tailoring as well and do an excellent job

This place is really great -- they do such a good job with the dry cleaning service, and while the price is fairly high, it's definitely worth it for the quality of the service. The staff is also very friendly, and they move quickly and efficiently. I will be going back. read more

Great service, very reasonable price. I took a couple shirts with tears at the elbows to get sewn, they did a very good job and it did not cost too much. read more

i like that they knew my name on my third visit. friendly and saves time. i'm a sucker for being a "regular" anywhere so they get my voite of approval. and quality of cleaning seems as good as any. read more

I used Lamont Cleaners for the first time recently to clean a dress. They completely ruined the lace overlay on the dress and did not offer any compensation, other than to not charge me for the cleaning. Definitely will not be returning! read more
