If you would ask the price when you drop off your clothes, you could not leave them if it is too expensive for you. I use Penninou cleaners and they are twice as expensive as virginia cleaners. You get what you pay for. You should go to a discount cleaners if you don't want to pay for quality.

I have been on the dry cleaning business for about 5+ years and I would like to offer some perpective about dry cleaning. Those 4 items you had at my store would run approximately about $20. Thats the price in Texas. Im sure California is much more expensive. Many people are under the impression that dry cleaners have a big profit margin, when in reality its the opposite. First, Perc, the solvent used in dry cleaning costs about $25 per gallon (in Tx). After that one must factor in the rising cost of electricity that is needed to run those huge machines that wash, press, etc. The average presser makes about $12 and the turnover rate is around 10-12 quality peices per hour. That cost alone costs the store atleast $1 per garmet. Not to mention the manual labor needed to sort, bag, order, and hang all the clothes in time for the customers arrival. Again my purpose is not to pick at you, but to give you a fresh perpective.
