Oh and she has this cute chubby pug that is the sweetest thing ever. If you are looking for a new and reliable drycleaner, royal touch is your place to go, you won't regret it.... read more

Great service with the nicest people! We've been coming here for years and they always take great care of our clothes. They are timely and on the rare occasion they aren't, they always make up for it (they have even driven clothes to our house when they weren't able to get it done in time promised!) Prices are fair given the quality. read more

I brought my old 1988 wedding dress to be cleaned after it was used again by my daughter in 2024. Not only did our dress come out perfect and very white, I enjoyed talking with the people who work there. I had a lot of questions and they gave me all my options and great advice for continuing to store the dress. I know that the dress will be ready for it's next bride! read more

Royal Touch Cleaners - The old wedding Dress Royal Touch cleaned! - Dry Cleaning Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

5 stars for standard dry cleaning. 1 star for wedding dress press. As far as price comparison, I don't have much to go on since I don't get things dry cleaned often. But definitely good quality. Fast turnaround if needed. No complaints there. Before my wedding, I took my wedding dress here. I felt confident because I had no issues with dry cleaning and the owner said she would be doing it herself. I was gifted a brand new bling belt that I had a seamstress sew onto the dress (not at this location). When I brought the dress home, it stayed hung up and in the bag perfectly fine. I picked up my dress the morning before my wedding, kept it in the bag, and didn't remove it until the night in the hotel. I was horrified to see that a couple of the bling pieces on the belt had come out, and I know it wasn't like that when I brought it to the shop. I was upset but I didn't let it ruin my big day. I wish I had known that part of my dress had been damaged before I left the dry cleaner, but it is what it is. Bottom line: I would recommend for standard dry cleaning. I do not trust for getting a wedding dress pressed prior to the wedding! Especially if it has bling on it! read more

Royal Touch Cleaners - Damaged/Missing. It's minor which is why I wasn't livid, but it's still not okay. - Dry Cleaning Near Me - San Diego, California

Tess is simply AMAZING! I needed my wedding dress to be hemmed and had only 2 weeks. My coworker recommended this place. I figured why not. I was a little hesitant at first but since it came with a rave review by someone I know, I decided to give Tess a try and I am so glad I did! I LOVED how my dress came out and I nearly cried when I put it on! read more

Tess and her team are great! When I lived in San Diego she took great care of my designer clothes, and was a total lifesaver when I came back into town for a wedding. I called her in the morning needing my clothes pressed asap and she had everything ready by the end of the day. Despite the odd care instructions of my shirt. She is highly experienced and has a very personable approach to customer service. read more

2 day turnaround and suits were very clean with no damage, was about $40 for both suits. Will def return when I need a cleaning!

They do a great job. Our on time and very quick all my shirts have turned out very good from them.

Needed to do last minute uniform alteration and the lady was super helpful! I dropped off my uniform at 4pm and she had finished it the next day around 12pm. The stitching was really impressive! read more

Amazing service and so friendly! I went in on Monday and needed my clothes cleaned by Wednesday and they had it ready by end of day Tuesday! Love this place will defiantly be going back for all of my dry cleaning needs! read more

Great place. You can tell they don't play no games here. Always able to make things happen. My favorite place in Sandiego .

Excellent service, kind and friendly staff, can't recommend enough. Been coming here for years with my dry cleaning and alterations and I've never been disappointed. read more

I have many items needing to be dry cleaned. I happened upon this place about 2 years ago and the customer service us outstanding. The pricing is fair and my clothes are always perfectly cleaned. Altered. And smell great! I highly recommend this business!! read more

I go here for all of my dry cleaning and tailoring. The lady that works here is the sweetest ever. She is always friendly and nice and does things quickly and quality!! It has a very neighborhood feel to it so even though I moved out of the neighborhood I still drive back here to have them take care of anything I need. I just picked up a knit sweater too that had a frat and she fixed it right up for me. Can't even tell there was ever a hole in it AND she even charged me $5 less than I was originally quoted when I got there too. read more

Best place in town, great service and the best prices! If you don't bring your clothes here for dry cleaning then you are wrong! read more

I've been going to Royal Touch for over two years. The quality is great. The prices reflect the level of quality and the people make me feel like family. read more

Tess and her friend are excellent professionals in their dry cleaning and sewing services, as well as delightful persons. Of course it is important to have detailed oriented service, as well as finding a caring person with a smile in her face, it makes the whole experience meaningful. I am so pleased to have been her client for over 10 years. Wonderful to assert that she keeps doing her excelling job over the years! Zoraida read more

Great service. Little expensive but when you need something dry cleaned or pressed ASAP, this is the place to go. They great customer service, both ladies I talked to were very kind. The only other con is the parking. On the weekends, the parking lot tends to be completely full!! read more

Holy crap. Most EXPENSIVE cleaners I've experienced in my 57 years. 8.75 for a single linen shirt and $5 for a simple cotton shirt. No chance I would ever pay that much again. read more

After searching for a good dry cleaner for a while, I decided to give Royal Touch a try as their reviews looked good. I was taking in an expensive silk top to be cleaned as it had a stain. The ladies couldn't have been nicer. They took my top and had it back to me two days later looking like brand new!! I can't believe how well it turned out! And they weren't even expensive! From now on I'm taking all my dry cleaning to them and I'd suggest you do the same. read more

This is the best dry cleaners. They really care about your clothes. I had a whole candle melt on my clothes. I had left my dirty clothes with a candle in the bag ( I know- I wasn't thinking) well it melted all over my clothes. I brought the clothes to them thinking this will never come clean. Well, you wouldn't know that it ever happened. Thank you for saving my clothes!!! read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review on this business yet. I've been a customer at least a couple years and their service is exceptional: always friendly, quality service. read more

I have been going to Royal Touch for many years and I have never had a bad experience. If yelp had 10 stars they would get 10 not 5:) I'm always greeted and remembered which is great when you are going to a family business. Mom and Daughter are the best! A few months ago my husband and I had a horrible alterations job at Men's Warehouse. They completely ruined his pants for our wedding. My husband was leaving in a few days and these pants needed a complete alteration. The Daughter was there and she was so nice and understanding. She said that she would alter the pants the very next day so he could take them when he left. When he went to pick them up she said it was free, a wedding present! The pants looked great and she saved us from a small disaster. They have always treated me well and have done a great job. I live pretty far away from them now but I'll make the drive. Thank you both!!! read more

The only place in San Diego I'll leave my clothes!!! I was in a jam and needed same day dry cleaning. Royal touch helped me out even though it was already like 11 am. I never forgot and now I go outta my way to get my dry cleaning here. I'm treated like a friend and I know it's a family run job which I appreciate! read more

I would give them 6 stars if I could. I don't get my clothes dry cleaned too often, so maybe paying a little more (like most the complaints on here) doesn't bother me as much, but they are GOOD! Super nice, cute mom and daughter runnin' shop here. They are always very friendly, talkative, and down to earth. I forgot to pick my suit up on Friday afternoon and was flying out of town for a wedding Sunday morning. I didn't notice until I started packing on Saturday evening. I thought to my self, "self, your a f*&$*)! idiot!!" I looked at the hours of this place and they closed at 4 and it was 4:30. I decided to call anyway and THANK GOD someone was there. She asked me how long I would be and I told her 40 minutes. She gladly waited an hour after they closed for me to come pick up my suit. LIFESAVER. THANK YOU. This place deserves good business and I will continue coming here. read more

This place has become our dry cleaners. I found them on yelp when I was looking for a local dry cleaners that was open after 5:30pm. The two ladies, I believe mother and daughter run this shop and are so sweet. All of our items, ranging from my boyfriends work suits to my dresses and blouses always come back, fresh, clean and perfectly crisp. If you love near mission valley and need a dry cleaners check them out. Ps prices are amazing! read more

Edited to add: Another pair have had the hem come undone. Look elsewhere unless you want to keep taking things backs. Alterations: I had 4 pair of pants lengthened. One pair had the hem come undone, so I took them back for a redo. I went to pick the pants up 2 weeks later, way beyond the day they were suppose to be done. One leg had the hem line that I requested while the other had the original hem. I was told it would be ready on Friday. I went in Saturday morning, to be greeted with "I don't think your pants are ready". They had yet to start working on the pants. I picked them up on Monday, to no one offering to refund me even though I had to wait a month to have the pants done correctly. I can't trust them to do their job correctly the first time and will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I love the staff here!!! Every time I walk in the customers are like talking about their inner most personal stuff with the staff...and that means a LOT!! I love this place, they do an impeccable job and treat you as if you have been their friends for so long!! My friends all go here because of me and they haven't been let down either. Plus there is a cute little pug that greets you in the doorway! read more

This place is great. They're easy access, right down the hill from where we live. They are SO friendly and lovely. It's as though they're friends with everyone! Great service! And hey, there's a Starbucks right there, too :P read more

I found this place by browsing reviews on yelp and decided to give it a go after our cat had a little accident on our down comforter. At drop off, the owners were SUPER friendly and their pug (Maggie) was quite delightful. They asked us to bring in our pug upon pickup. It took 2 days for our comforter to be returned and the price was nothing to contest. Whenever we need something dry cleaned in the future, we will most definitely be returning here. read more

I moved and haven't been able to return here because its farther from my house and work. However, after an awful experience with a DIFFERENT dry cleaner, I've returned and couldn't be happier! Although it is farther from my house and work, the customer service and quality work from this mother/daughter team make it more than worth my time! Their alterations as well as cleaning are always done to perfection and with a touch of kindness and quality customer service. I'll definitely be returning instead of my previous cleaner. read more

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Royal Touch just doesn't cut it. It's the nearest dry cleaner to my house so it's in my best interest to like this place. But after having used them 5-6 different times, I'm just not impressed. Sure the owners and staff are usually quite friendly, but they better be considering they charge like $2.65 or similar to launder a shirt. Even when I brought in a dozen shirts, the price was the same. Now don't go saying "you get what you pay for" because at least two of my shirts came out of the plastic wrap with spots on the front. Not cool at any price I'm afraid. I can get a similar or even superior laundered shirt from the competition for $1.50 per shirt when I bring in 10+ shirts. Royal Touch just doesn't deserve the business with their high prices and mediocre results. Sorry. read more

Update: got my freshly cleaned down comforters and they look practically new! So happy that I brought ANOTHER one today! Plus who couldn't use some pug-therapy. Such a cutie and I love that the family dog gets to hang out! -------- Fabulous so far, I just dropped off 2 king sized down comforters for cleaning. I had to call to make sure they were open (Yelp reflects them closed on Saturday). The girl at the counter was super nice and friendly,can't wait to see the end result next week! read more

I had spilt liquid foundation on my bridesmaid dress several months ago and needed to get it removed. My boyfriend had tried this place to clean his dress shirt and recommended it. So I said sure why not - I'll give it a try. Plus it's conveniently close to my house! I have never taken any piece of clothing or item to get dry cleaned before. So I was a little out of my element. To get my dress cleaned and stained removed, it cost me about $13. I was shocked at this price. But given that I have no previous experience to compare to, I just said OK. I was able to pick my dress up the next day! So that was quick. The lady was very nice and service was good. My dress is clean and no more stains! They did a good job on my dress. They also have a pet pug, say hello to the dog if you stop by! read more

The customer service that Tess and Kalena bring to their shop is awesome! Not too mention that I was initially greeted by their two dogs which was such a nice surprise. I immediately felt welcomed. I was supposed to go to a nearby cleaners and they were closed. After using the AroundMe app I found their store and decided to give them my business. I'm glad I did and will now be going there from now on. I strongly recommend for others to use their services! read more

The pug is freakin awesome. Had to get my suit dry cleaned to look classy for my trip that weekend to Vegas. I dropped the suit off on a Tuesday morning and let them know. The staff is insanely nice and had it ready by Thursday afternoon for no extra cost. My suit looked fresh and got it done at a good price. Now I need to get it dry cleaned again after Vegas...I definitely will be back! read more

Always very good service. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted with a smile and a cute pug with its nails painted in the corner. It's affordable. Truthfully, it's more affordable than most places you will go for this level of service. They always ask ME when I need my clothes and they do their best to accommodate. I recently moved a little further away, but I will still be coming back! Price - Fair Customer Service - Awesome Quality - Very good read more

The absolute BEST service and tailoring EVER. I had an emergency situation with a gown that Nordstrom did not alter correctly. On the morning of my graduation from college, I desperately needed my dress altered to fit me for SAME DAY! Not only did royal touch allow me to come in last minute, the service was amazing and my dress was made to fit me like a GLOVE! I will forever recommend this place to any friends or family that needs dry cleaning or alterations due to the speed and friendliness! Thank you to everyone involved for your kindness- I will be back with non-emergency items! read more

I had a bridesmaid dress altered here for my cousins wedding. She did it perfectly and so fast! I definitely recommend.

Needed a jacket pressed short notice for an anniversary dinner. This cleaners hooked me up when my regular cleaners, and 5 others, said they cant help. Awesome job on pressing my linen jacket, it looked great! read more
