Society Cleaners

The Soup-​Nazi of dry cleaning, only they don’t have scrumptious soup, or any other product or service that is any different than anyone else around. They over-​charge, competitors in the area have much more reasonable prices for their sewing services and consistently are somewhat rude. Customer service is a concept that totally alludes them, much like George Kastanza’s ability to taste the soup. No more soup for me, and I’m happy not go back. These people are quite rude! And their prices are outragouse!

Been using them exclusively for a year now, great work. Just had them alter some pants and they came back great! Cheap, solid work, and close to home. Staff are VERY kind and accommodating for rush jobs and odd requests.
Society Cleaners is great!!!

These people are not helpful, I brought in a jacket that needed a button: they couldn’t tell me if they could find a match, couldn’t show me what they had. Total negative attitudes, I will go out of my way to go elsewhere.

Nice people, who do a good job, in the amount of time they tell you they will, and aren’t too expensive. Haven’t messed up any of my items and are always very pleasant.

Best dry cleaners I’ve ever had the pleasure of going to. The staff are extremely friendly and always are willing to work with you if there’s a need for things cleaned in a rush. I’ve had pants altered and buttons sewed back on — always done quickly and with a smile. The shop is relatively inexpensive and my shirts and pants are consistently clean. I recommend Society to everyone in SE.

After reading the reviews, my girlfriend and I decided to take a chance with this local cleaner. First she took a skirt and a jacket in for cleaning. The service was good and the prices were reasonable, but the items came back with a weird, mildewy smell. The smell did fade and we didn’t think much of it. About a month ago I dropped off a cotton blazer after I spilled coffee on myself while traveling. When I picked up the blazer the coffee was gone, but it was replaced by a horrendous odor. It’s like mildew, grease, and gym socks rolled into one, but I didn’t notice it until I got home and took the plastic off the jacket. I let the jacket air out for a week, but the smell actually seemed to get worse. Then I tried to take it back, but they naturally denied responsibility because so much time had passed. I then tried getting it re-​cleaned elsewhere, but to no avail. It’s been a month and the jacket is still unwearable. Worse, I can’t put it in my closed because other clothes around it start to absorb the odor. I’ve never experienced anything like it, and am fairly certain that the jacket is ruined. Needless to say, we won’t be coming back to Society Cleaners.

Update: My clothes have started coming back smelling really weird. I am not taking clothes there anymore.

Society Cleaners — to the rescue!
I’m infamous for procrastinating. I kept putting off the fact that I needed to dry clean a dress for a wedding in DC. I convinced myself that I’d have no problem dropping off the dress once I got into DC on Friday and then would pick it up Saturday morning. Easy enough, right?
Luckily, my friend lives pretty close to this place and said we could stop in on our way to dinner. We popped in and I asked if I could have the dress by noon the next day. At first, the man was a little hesitant and denied my request. He said he could have it ready by 4pm. Then, the owner lady stepped in and said it’d be ready by noon, no problem. Whoa, really? Unfathomable!
But, then I was thinking, watch this cost me $ 50 to get it dry cleaned in such a rush. Thankfully, it only cost $ 9.95! Nice and easy!
So thankful. So grateful. As I gush. Repeatedly. Forever.

I live about 3 blocks from this cleaners, which is sandwiched between Bonnie’s pet-​grooming and Safeway. I’ve been here dozens of times, they’re consistent, courteous, sometimes a bit pricey, but I love them. Same day turn-​around if you drop-​off before 8am.
(1) I once had red chalk stains from playing pool all over a grey jacket — they cleaned it, no problem.
(2) I had jeans hemmed here. They use the «fold under» method instead of cutting away the excess fabric. About $ 12.
(3) They also clean leather and suede, but the turn-​around is longer, about 10 days.
The outside needs a little TLC, but what cleaners doesn’t. They are closed on Sundays and most holidays.
