Carriage House Cleaners

Ballad of the Takoma Threads

Where tie-dye flutters, banners sway,
On Carroll’s curve by vendor array,
Past hemp-clad poets, drums that spark,
The cleaners hum in Takoma Park.

No bleach to choke the daisied street,

They do a good job cleaning, but they aren’t very reliable if you need anything within a normal timeframe. Today (Wednesday) I was told I couldn’t have two pairs of pants cleaned by Saturday (three days) because they are too busy to provide “express” service and needed a full week. And it wasn’t the first time they’ve pushed back on a three-day turnaround. Not sure I’ve ever encountered another dry cleaner where three days is considered “express”…

This cleaners is amazing!!! Clothes come back perfect looking new every time! Well pressed and clean! Only thing is they do not offer same day cleaning and that is because so many people drop off their clothes to be cleaned because they do an amazing job! This cleaners by far are one of the best in the DMV.
