Dupont Court Cleaners

Tucked into the Kalorama neighborhood, Dupont Court Cleaners is the kind of dependable local cleaner that customers stick with even after they move away. Reviewers highlight quick turnarounds, reasonable prices, and a warm, personal touch from the two women who run the front counter and remember regulars by name. The shop cleans on site rather than shipping garments out, and it earns particular trust for catching small details and communicating with customers, such as noticing a hole in a cashmere scarf, sending a photo, and patching it before cleaning.

Beyond standard dry cleaning, Dupont Court is known for affordable, solid tailoring and repairs, from hems and added buttons to patched jeans and even mending a worn bag. Customers often mention handling of delicate pieces like beaded bridesmaid dresses. While most experiences are glowing, a few note that pricing or results can vary depending on the job. Open six days a week, it remains a go-to for those who value friendly, capable service close to home.
