I live in the U Street corridor with my boyfriend. Prior to my encounter, my boyfriend serviced his clothing here on one other occasion. Considering the location to our residence, my boyfriend asked if I could drop off another round of his clothing, including one suit and a few traditional collard suit shirts. I agreed. The following day I prepared to take his clothes in and decided I would add two of my own shirts. Accordingly, I include two basic collard suit shirts in with his load, and figured I’d be charged the same rate as him considering that two collard shirts are essentially two collard shirts — regardless of gender. Unfortunately, I was disheartened to learn that when the bill came I was charged $ 5.75 for my two collard shirts and he was charged approximately $ 1.88 per shirt. I realized that my shirts were rung up as a «blouse» but his shirt were rung up as a standard collard suit shirt. Not surprisingly, this made me upset. As a woman, who is required to wear a suit to work every day, just like my boyfriend, I was saddened to learn that this place charged me more for my dry cleaning. Although my boyfriend and I both wear a suit to work everyday, I learned that my collard shirts(and I don’t mean blouses) cost more to be dry cleaned than my male counterpart. I was offended when the bill came. I felt like I was discriminated against because I was a female. Ultimately, this made me feel like women are not only compensated at a lessor rate than our male counter parts, but now we’re being charged at a higher rate for dry cleaning than our male counterparts. The idea that this place charges more for a female suit shirt than a male suit shirt is arbitrarily discriminatory and unfair. I’ll advise that if you’re a professional female and wish to get your clothes dry cleaned I would go to a place that treats males and females equally.

I needed a the top of a sleeveless cocktail dress altered for a wedding, and they did a terrific job. It was ready within 3 days, and at a reasonable price($ 16). Will definitely be going back with more alterations and cleaning!

Just moved into the U street area and needed a new dry cleaning spot. They are very efficient and affordable. When I came in, I needed 6 pieces of clothing to be cleaned and the price was less than $ 10/each. They employees also gave me a laundry tumble bag for free. They asked when I needed it by and there were no problems when I went to pick up my items. Other laundromats I have been to staple their tags on the actual clothing I have, but Q&Q did not. Overall great experience and I will be returning here whenever I need their service

Good, friendly, service. Good prices. Quality work. What more do you want in a cleaners? They are not open on Sundays, so plan your drop offs and pick ups accordingly! I have to hope I don’t get a ticket every time I throw my flashers on while running in! Luckily they are super speedy so that helps my chances.

Love this place! I’ve had my shirts done several times there in the last 6 months. The last time I went there I took them in on a Friday and asked if I could have the next day because I was traveling out of town on Monday. I showed-up on Saturday a bit after 4pm and they were ready for me as promised.

My husband & I have had multiple items dry cleaned here & are always happy with the results — they even give you a reusable dry cleaners bag to carry your dirty items. I just started bringing items to be tailored here & so far am pretty happy with the results. The other day, I dropped off a delicate dress from CUSP to be tailored & picked up the next day before noon, it looked great! My one negative is, one person will measure & pin the alterations to your item & another seamstress will make the alterations. I always seem to get a phone call the day of pickup asking if I can come back in to try on again. It would be nice to not have doubt in this handoff & the seamstress to measure the alterations herself.

I just had my anthropologie lace dress with underlay hemmed here. Im new to the area and didnt read any negative reviews and since they are under my building I gave them a try. They did an EXCELLENT job! The hem was lock-stitched with white and immaculately over stitched with green exactly as it was from anthropologie! I was so shocked at how good it looked I had to try it on to make sure it was actually re-hemmed! And yup it was a full 4 inches shorter. Liner and lace were hemmed for $ 25. And they did it in 4 days! A+!!!

they did some patch work for me that was a little shotty but in their defense the hole was pretty large. they are the fastest in the neighborhood as far as my experience and the price is pretty good(got 2 shirts, a sweater, and a pair of pants done for $ 15). they also added a button to a shirt sleeve that had fallen off a month earlier and did not charge me anything for the repair. I will continue to take my dry cleaning here as long as i live in the neighborhood.

Q & Q did an excellent(and speedy!) job hemming a floor length, two layer, silk chiffon dress. I got last minute tickets to an inaugural ball last Thursday, ordered a dress with overnight delivery that arrived Friday, and needed tailoring completed by Saturday. I dropped off the dress at around 6:45 on Friday evening and picked it up at 5pm on Saturday. Despite the rush, I was charged $ 35(which is the same price I’ve been charged for similar dress hemming at two other dry cleaners in the neighborhood). The women who were working both times I went in were helpful and friendly. The hem was very well done and exactly the right height. The store also has a true fitting room(rather than merely a curtain) which made changing in and out of the dress in order to have measurements taken more comfortable/less awkward. I have not yet brought my dry cleaning to Q and Q, but I certainly will in the future.

Men’s shirts: $ 1.65 Suits: $ 11.50 Narrowing some trousers: $ 20 I haven’t gotten my clothes back yet, but they do have a fitting room so you can try on the clothes they’ll tailor in house. Saves time so you don’t have to worry about getting home and stuff not fitting! I’ll post a more solid review when I get my clothing back. I also had them remove a monogram from a shirt, for which they said they wouldn’t charge me. Really great folks!
