    Friendly dude. Reasonably priced relative to other options. Laundry was ready when promised. No complaints here.

    I have been coming here for a few years. They do a great job on all my dry cleaning as well as alterations. I highly recommend.

    Does an older Asian lady with her son still run the cleaners? I remembered the husband passed.

    Hi Lorin. Yes, my mom still runs the cleaners. 25 years now. I help every now and then when I can.

    What time is your tailor in?

    10AM

    Do they do their cleaning on-site or do they send it out?

    We do not clean on site. Garments are sent to another location and brought back to Penn Cleaners.

    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.
