They are family operated but Kim is usually working the front desk 6 days a week, She always greets you with a smile and is ready to help any way she can. This is our dry cleaning spot but we also have used them for wash and fold, tailoring, and even fixing the heel on my wife's favorite shoes. For regular clothing related services you can expect your clothes back quickly. My wife's shoe came back in less than a week as good as new. They will also work with you if you have time constraints or special requests. I have tried a few other places in the area and the thing that separates Capitol Hill Cleaners is consistent professional service. They always deliver on what they promise. Kim and her husband have been in Eastern Market for quite a while. They are right next to the Market and are part of the fabric of the area. You can expect excellent service, friendly interactions and a fair price.

Unfortunately, they don't take responsibility when they lose your items. I took some valuable items there and unfortunately they lost one of the items.

If you want a cleaners thats going to get your every day shirts and pants clean they are good for that but if you want a business that won't lose valuables and is dependable then I suggest finding a different establishment.

Mr. Kim is fantastic! He did such a lovely job with my bridesmaids dress. He hemmed it exactly how I wanted, and the stitching was so perfect and clean. The price was reasonable and fair. His shop does smell a bit of cats and cigarettes when you walk in. I was mentally prepared to take my dress to the dry cleaner's after it was finished, however, I think he keeps garments well wrapped, because when I brought it home there was no smell at all. That could just be due to the fabric of my dress, but all to say, it posed no issue for me. Will definitely be back!

Not only are they affordable, they're GOOD. They get done exactly what they say they will get done, the garments look fantastic, and it's truly professional. Now I will say this, and this is a POSITIVE. They are realistic about their ability to help you and their timeline. A gentleman walked in with a garment that was basically unsaveable while I was there and they said, "Hey, we will do the best we can, but we can't guarantee it." They are truthful and honest. That's not something you get from very many businesses these days. I would recommend them over anyone in the Navy Yard/Wharf area, and I've been to a few dry cleaners out here. Affordable, kind, good service.

I recently tried them again and deeply regret it. I'm in literal tears. They absolutely destroyed a BRAND NEW very expensive dress. It came back with a tag on the hanger advising that they were not able to remove spots without harming the garment. I thought, "What spots???" I had only worn the dress twice and I only decided to clean it because I was going to store it for winter. It wasn't dirty and it didn't have any "spots" when I brought it in for "cleaning." Tears welled in my eyes as I examined my beautiful floor length dress. There were blue splotches all over the garment, the bodice the back of the skirt, the collar. I tried it on and found that it no longer gently swept the floor as I walked. They shrank the dress and now the skirt is three inches higher and sleeves are too short to button. They are clothing destroyers. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

I dropped off my girlfriend's favorite red blazer, a gorgeous (and not cheap!) leather jacket, and a comfy sweater. All three came back looking like they survived some apocalyptic fashion showdown. Leather Jacket: Once sleek and stylish, now it's literally flaking off like it lost a fight with a cheese grater. Red Blazer: Perfect if you want random splotches and stains as a new design aesthetic. (Spoiler alert: We didn't.) Sweater: Ever seen those horror movies with mysterious stains? Pretty sure they drew inspiration from whatever got splattered on this poor sweater. The real kicker? No one from The Press DC bothered to say, "Hey, heads up, we're absolutely annihilating your garments. Maybe you should come pick them up before we do more damage!" Instead, I got them back ruined--and with zero explanation. I guess common courtesy isn't part of their business model. Look, I get that mistakes happen, but what really sets me off is the total lack of communication. A quick phone call, email, carrier pigeon, something--just to say, "We've got a little problem here," would've been the bare minimum. Now I'm out some once-beautiful pieces and the money I paid to have them "cleaned." Spoiler: I'm demanding a refund because, at this point, that's the least they could do. The entire experience was so ridiculously bad that it's almost funny--except it's my girlfriend's clothes on the line, so it's not exactly the kind of "fun" we're looking for. Long story short: If you value your wardrobe (or your relationship, because who wants to explain this mess to their partner?), do yourself a favor and avoid The Press DC like the plague. It's not the end of the world, but holy crap--my clothes aren't supposed to come back looking worse than when they left. 1 star (and that's me being generous). Never. Going. Back. Here. Again.

It's on par for pricing with other cleaners, but I was given the wrong impression on pricing when I called them. I don't think this was on purpose, like I said seems like nice people. I paid close to $9.00 to have 1 short dry cleaned with stains around the collar neck. I was a little disappointed that the stains didn't completely come out. I could still see a faint stain around the collar.
