Very nice and welcoming people. Seems like a family owned business…read more You can easily find pricing for getting your clothes laundered but if you want dry cleaning (anything with a stain) you will be paying much more. It's on par for pricing with other cleaners, but I was given the wrong impression on pricing when I called them. I don't think this was on purpose, like I said seems like nice people. I paid close to $9.00 to have 1 short dry cleaned with stains around the collar neck. I was a little disappointed that the stains didn't completely come out. I could still see a faint stain around the collar.

The last time I had alterations work done, I went to a shop on the Hill that charged nearly twice what other places did, and they only did an OK job. She did an awesome job at The Cleaner of Cleaners, and at a terrific price. It's easy to drive right past this shop amid all the nearby government buildings, but it's a jewel. Fast and super friendly service. I'll be back!

Capitol Hill Cleaners provides solid service and a personal feel. My wife and I have been coming to…read moreCapitol Hill Cleaners since 2010. They are family operated but Kim is usually working the front desk 6 days a week, She always greets you with a smile and is ready to help any way she can. This is our dry cleaning spot but we also have used them for wash and fold, tailoring, and even fixing the heel on my wife's favorite shoes. For regular clothing related services you can expect your clothes back quickly. My wife's shoe came back in less than a week as good as new. They will also work with you if you have time constraints or special requests. I have tried a few other places in the area and the thing that separates Capitol Hill Cleaners is consistent professional service. They always deliver on what they promise. Kim and her husband have been in Eastern Market for quite a while. They are right next to the Market and are part of the fabric of the area. You can expect excellent service, friendly interactions and a fair price.

Unfortunately, they don't take responsibility when they lose your items. I took some valuable items there and unfortunately they lost one of the items. They gave the runaround for 2 months and then tried to give me an item that wasn't mine as a replacement. They then tried to deny responsibility. If you want a cleaners thats going to get your every day shirts and pants clean they are good for that but if you want a business that won't lose valuables and is dependable then I suggest finding a different establishment.

Second to none in my opinion. I've worked with other dry cleaners in the area. These ladies are…read moreaccommodating and nice, and their services are affordable. Not only are they affordable, they're GOOD. They get done exactly what they say they will get done, the garments look fantastic, and it's truly professional. Now I will say this, and this is a POSITIVE. They are realistic about their ability to help you and their timeline. A gentleman walked in with a garment that was basically unsaveable while I was there and they said, "Hey, we will do the best we can, but we can't guarantee it." They are truthful and honest. That's not something you get from very many businesses these days. I would recommend them over anyone in the Navy Yard/Wharf area, and I've been to a few dry cleaners out here. Affordable, kind, good service.

I've taken three things there to be altered, and each time, the same thing happened: First, she quoted me a very high number. Each time, when I balked at the initial estimate, she said, "Well, what do you want to pay?" When I said less, she dramatically lowered the figure. I still think I paid too much based on my better experiences elsewhere in Capitol Hill, but one time, the $40 alteration (which was simply taking in a two-inch section of fabric by just a little) made the fit of a pair of pants worse. When I showed her where the alteration they made caused a fabric pucker near it, she just kept repeating: "We did not touch that! We did not touch that!" and would not accept any responsibility for the new issue, nor did she offer a solution or refund. I will never return. She clearly tries to get as much as she can from customers for jobs that have no pre-defined pricing structure and does not show any interest in solving customer complaints.

I observed a very friendly demeanor between her and the other customers (white males). When I got to the counter, she was immediately different. When I told her what I was there to do, she immediately sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes. I think confirmed with her "is now still a good time for you?" I then confirmed the payment amount as a gentle reminder to her that I was not coming in her looking for her to do my measurements for free. She proceeded to do my measurements, which was an uncomfortable experience at best. All money is green in my eyes, but clearly to this business certain colors get better customer service.

They are…read morecharging based on the brand of your clothes, and that was never disclosed when I dropped my items off. They should be investigated. When I picked up my clothes and asked why my bill was so high, the employee immediately said it was because I had "luxury" brands. She specifically pointed out brands like Sandro, Versace, and Dolce & Gabbana and explained that they charge more depending on how expensive the clothing brand is. My receipt even had every brand listed. If you're going to price cleaning based on the brand on the tag, that needs to be clearly disclosed before you take someone's clothes. On top of that, half of my clothes were still crushed and wrinkled when I got them back. Charging premium prices while returning wrinkled clothes is unacceptable. The plus I have damaged clothes.

Mr. Kim is fantastic! He did such a lovely job with my bridesmaids dress. He hemmed it exactly how I wanted, and the stitching was so perfect and clean. The price was reasonable and fair. His shop does smell a bit of cats and cigarettes when you walk in. I was mentally prepared to take my dress to the dry cleaner's after it was finished, however, I think he keeps garments well wrapped, because when I brought it home there was no smell at all. That could just be due to the fabric of my dress, but all to say, it posed no issue for me. Will definitely be back!
