Dry cleaning, side by side
Menus scale from the plain shirt: structured and lined garments cost several times more because they are hand-pressed rather than machine-finished. Wash and fold is priced by weight or bag instead, and alterations are usually quoted after inspection rather than fixed.

What you're paying for
Laundry priced by weight or by bag rather than per garment.
Subscription laundry plans are billed monthly against a weight allowance and are worth comparing against the per-pound rate.
- Weight or bag size
- Minimum charges
- Subscription vs per-pound
Per-garment cleaning, priced by item type rather than by weight.
Dry cleaning is priced per item, so the only meaningful comparison between cleaners is a like-for-like garment such as a plain shirt.
- Garment structure and lining
- Fabric upcharges applied at drop-off
- Starch and hand-pressing options
Restoration and specialty work: gowns, leather, stain treatment and preservation.
Leather and suede are normally subcontracted, which is why the price sits well above ordinary dry cleaning.
- Condition of the item
- Often subcontracted to specialists
- Preservation boxing adds significantly
Bulky household textiles: bedding, covers, rugs and similar.
Household items are priced by bulk rather than by garment rules, which is why a single comforter can cost more than several shirts.
- Size and fill type
- Down items cost more than synthetic
Tailoring work sold at the same counter: hems, zips, buttons and fit adjustments.
Most cleaners quote alterations after seeing the item, so published prices are a floor rather than a fixed rate.
- Lining and layers
- Whether a part (zip, button) is supplied
- Published rates are usually a starting point

Menu terms
What the words on a dry cleaning price list mean.
- Laundered shirt
- A shirt washed in water and machine-pressed. The reference price on every cleaner's menu.
- Dry clean
- Cleaning in a solvent rather than water, used for structured and delicate garments.
- Press only
- Finishing a clean garment without cleaning it. Cheaper than a full clean.
- Starch
- A stiffening finish on shirts, usually offered light, medium or heavy and sometimes priced as an upcharge.
- Hand pressed
- Finishing by hand rather than on a shirt press, for fabrics a machine would mark. Priced above a standard shirt.
- Wash and fold
- Bulk laundry priced by weight or bag, washed, dried and folded but not pressed.
- Sent out
- Items a cleaner passes to a specialist (leather, suede, fur, gowns, rugs), with a longer turnaround and its own price.
- Fabric upcharge
- An addition applied at the counter for delicate materials, applied after the garment is inspected.
- Rush or same-day
- A faster turnaround than the standard service, priced above it.
- Alterations
- Hemming, tapering and repairs, quoted per job after inspection rather than fixed on the menu.
When an independent beats a chain
An independent cleaner earns its place on the difficult items: a tailor on site who can quote an alteration while you wait, someone willing to look at an unusual fabric or an old stain and tell you honestly whether it will come out, and a counter that knows your garments. Plants that clean in-house rather than sending work elsewhere also tend to turn specialist items around faster. The chains are stronger on convenience (long opening hours, 24-hour lockers, app tracking, pickup and delivery routes and a posted price list), which matters more if what you drop off is mostly shirts.
Before you pay
Why is a suit so much more than two shirts?
Lined and structured garments are pressed by hand on shaped forms rather than run through a shirt press. The price difference is labour time, not cleaning cost.
What is the cheapest way to clean everyday clothes?
Wash and fold, priced by weight or bag. It costs a fraction of per-garment dry cleaning for anything that does not need pressing.
What is the difference between dry cleaning and laundering a shirt?
A laundered shirt is washed in water and pressed by machine, which is why it is the cheapest item on the menu. Dry cleaning uses solvent instead of water and is for garments that would shrink, lose shape or bleed in a wash.
How long does it take?
Standard turnaround at most chains is a day or two, with same-day service available if the item is dropped off early and paid for as a rush. Anything sent to a specialist takes considerably longer.
