Do you think dry cleaners really clean your clothes?

Question

The more I go to the dry cleaners, the more I am convinced that they only press them and return them to you. I have been to several in the past couple of months and feel that my clothes are not being cleaned only pressed. All of them smells like they're pressing dirty clothes. What do you think?

Answer 1

Take them back & talk to the owner.  Maybe they hired some kid that doesn't care.  Let them smell the clothes.  If that doesnt help, get a new dry cleaners.

Answer 2

I agree. I've had the same thing happen. I just use my dryer and the Dryel kit now.

Answer 3

Have you tried different cleaners?  They put them in a chemical wash then press. If you're not satisfied take them back and tell them.
