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.

I was taking a few of my dress shirts here on an electric bike and the sleeve of one of the shirts…read moregot caught in the front wheel which caused that shirt and every other shirt to get greasy black stains all over the left sleeves. I thought I would have to throw them all away and it would be a lost cause. I came back to pick them up today and couldn't believe how clean and brand new they looked. I still feel like they had to have gone out and bought the same shirts, couldn't believe it was possible to recover them. Moreso, I was charged the same price I'm normally charged even thought they were so much dirtier. I don't have many dress shirts so I go here once every week and they have been so nice and the shirts have come back perfect every time. Highly recommend this place right by the Eastern Market Metro Station!

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 really wanted to give this place a chance - and I did. The woman who owns it can be nice, but…read morethat changes if things go wrong. 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 had to go in to get measurements done today. It was not a great experience. When I arrived there…read moreI patiently waited for her to complete working with the people who were there ahead of me. 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.

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.

Avoid at all costs. They will destroy your clothing…read more Had not used this dry cleaner for about eight years after they ruined a garment of mine. I recently tried them again and deeply regret it. I'm in literal tears. They absolutely destroyed a BRAND NEW very expensive dress. It came back with a tag on the hanger advising that they were not able to remove spots without harming the garment. I thought, "What spots???" I had only worn the dress twice and I only decided to clean it because I was going to store it for winter. It wasn't dirty and it didn't have any "spots" when I brought it in for "cleaning." Tears welled in my eyes as I examined my beautiful floor length dress. There were blue splotches all over the garment, the bodice the back of the skirt, the collar. I tried it on and found that it no longer gently swept the floor as I walked. They shrank the dress and now the skirt is three inches higher and sleeves are too short to button. They are clothing destroyers. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Where do I even start with The Press DC? If you're looking for a place to wreck your clothes rather…read morethan clean them, look no further. I dropped off my girlfriend's favorite red blazer, a gorgeous (and not cheap!) leather jacket, and a comfy sweater. All three came back looking like they survived some apocalyptic fashion showdown. Leather Jacket: Once sleek and stylish, now it's literally flaking off like it lost a fight with a cheese grater. Red Blazer: Perfect if you want random splotches and stains as a new design aesthetic. (Spoiler alert: We didn't.) Sweater: Ever seen those horror movies with mysterious stains? Pretty sure they drew inspiration from whatever got splattered on this poor sweater. The real kicker? No one from The Press DC bothered to say, "Hey, heads up, we're absolutely annihilating your garments. Maybe you should come pick them up before we do more damage!" Instead, I got them back ruined--and with zero explanation. I guess common courtesy isn't part of their business model. Look, I get that mistakes happen, but what really sets me off is the total lack of communication. A quick phone call, email, carrier pigeon, something--just to say, "We've got a little problem here," would've been the bare minimum. Now I'm out some once-beautiful pieces and the money I paid to have them "cleaned." Spoiler: I'm demanding a refund because, at this point, that's the least they could do. The entire experience was so ridiculously bad that it's almost funny--except it's my girlfriend's clothes on the line, so it's not exactly the kind of "fun" we're looking for. Long story short: If you value your wardrobe (or your relationship, because who wants to explain this mess to their partner?), do yourself a favor and avoid The Press DC like the plague. It's not the end of the world, but holy crap--my clothes aren't supposed to come back looking worse than when they left. 1 star (and that's me being generous). Never. Going. Back. Here. Again.
