Pricing — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does dry cleaning cost in San Francisco with Alex's?

Dry cleaning starts at $19.50 for blouses and shirts, $29 for trousers, $39 for sport coats, and $68 for a two-piece wool suit — with white-glove door-to-door pickup and delivery included. Designer and couture garments are priced higher because they receive specialist handling, hand finishing, and extra time.

What is the difference between Starting and Couture Starting?

Starting covers standard garments. Couture Starting applies to designer, made-to-measure, and haute couture pieces — Kiton, Brioni, Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, Oscar de la Renta and similar — which demand fabric-specific solvents, hand pressing, and meticulous inspection. Fine materials such as silk, cashmere, vicuña, alpaca, and linen, plus pleating, beading, or intricate trims, can also raise the final price.

Is pickup and delivery really included in the price?

Yes — every price on this page includes white-glove door-to-door pickup and delivery whenever your order meets your area's minimum:

How do I get an exact quote before committing?

Text a photo of the garment and its care label to 415-338-9318, or email service@alexdryclean.com. For wedding gowns, vintage pieces, and standout items we confirm pricing before any work begins.

Why doesn't Alex's compete on cheaper prices?

Cheap dry cleaning is cheap ingredients, cheap solvent, and cheap labor. Quality solvents, trained hands, maintained machinery, skilled representatives, and reliable drivers all cost money — that is the product, not a markup. See why we don't compete on price and the pricing and quality FAQ.

What does a higher dry-cleaning price actually pay for?

Five things: top-quality ingredients; people who have been with us ten to forty years; continuously distilled virgin solvent and maintained presses; customer-service experts who can assess couture and stains; and drivers who are on time and trustworthy. The full explanation is Why We Don't Compete on Price.

Why does quality dry cleaning have no smell?

Dry cleaning has no smell. The odor people call “dry cleaning smell” is bacteria and residue from poorly maintained solvent. We distill solvent continuously so garments are cleaned in virgin solvent, not used as a filter for the last load.
