Just moved to the area and was looking for a solid dry cleaner, and I'm really glad I found Spectrum Cleaners on W Broad St in Falls Church. This is my go-to spot from now on. The service was excellent from start to finish. My clothes came back looking great, turnaround time was totally reasonable, and everything was handled with care. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made the whole process easy. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable, a great value for the quality. It's always a win when you find a local business you can trust, and this place definitely fits the bill. Highly recommend if you're in the area and need a dependable dry cleaner. read more

Lady at the counter was nice, however, I do not recommend this place at all. I had a rain coat that needed some care and I thought to go to what seems like a highly rated dry cleaner in Falls Church City. Unfortunately, I came back a couple days later to pick up my jacket and it was just as if I gave it to them. It's still dirty and I'm not even sure what they did to it, but it looks no different. I do not have a before picture but attached it the after pick. And $35 for a clean, at least have it be better than the drop off. read more

Spectrum Cleaners - My jacket, polyester and cotton blend. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

A bit expensive ($96 for 6 new dresses). I'm not sure normal pricing as I don't dry clean often. However the service was quick and great customer service, will use them again read more

Quality alterations done quickly. It was not inexpensive, but quality is very high. Will definitely return next time I need alterations.

I go to Spectfum Cleaners whenever I need dry cleaning and alterations. The service, quality, and value is terrific. The dry cleaning always has been good, but I did not realize how much they can do for alterations. In the past two months, I have had alterations for 2 suits and a re-weave for one sportcoat. Everything has turned out great! I really appreciate this business. read more

The work with alterations is prompt and quality is decent. Costs $20 to hem one pants leg and $60 for suit jacket sleeves. Also costs $78 to tighten up the waist. Open early and closes late so convenient. One bigly important thing is if you get alterations for new articles of clothing, ensure your spare buttons are not attached to your garment because you won't be getting them back. Gone. Too bad. read more

I called a few places around to see if anyone could take the stains out of my white blouse! They were enthusiastic about saying they would try their best! They were able to take 80-90% of the stains out and now they are barely noticeable on my blouse. Thank you! read more

Spectrum Cleaners - White blouse cleaned - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Between two visits, I've paid over $100 for cleanings. The problem is that I asked for stains to be taken away it of a shirt, and instead of telling me the cleaning didn't work, they just charged me without saying anything. Another of my white dress shorts actually got a smudge stain on the shoulder, which was not there prior to the cleaning. It's disappointing that the quality is this subpar. read more

Life got busy, and I wasn't able to pick up my jacket for over a year--but when I finally went back, they still had it safely stored for me. No hassle, no attitude, just great service. The staff is friendly, professional, and clearly take pride in their work. My jacket looked as good as new! Highly recommend for their reliability and customer care. read more

Spectrum Cleaners - I can't say enough good things about this dry cleaner! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I'm the stage manager for a touring band, Ozomatli. i had forgotten my laundry sack for dirty clothes at my home in California before we left on our most recent bus tour. I stumbled upon Spectrum Cleaners before our show at the State Theater here in Falls Church and had asked to purchase a laundry sack, but the owner was so gracious and gifted me one for free. Such an awesome random act of kindness. Thank you Spectrum Cleaners! read more

I had two jackets dry-cleaned. They were very similar. As you can see from the receipt, GQ in McLean charged twice as much as Spectrum in Falls Church. Both businesses did a great job, but not sure why one was twice the cost of the other. read more

Spectrum Cleaners - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

They always do a high quality job on all of my items that I bring in. Highly recommend Spectrum for any dry cleaning services.

I brought in a weighted blanket that sat in a damp basement for a year and was full of mold. I thought they were going to tell me it was a lost cause, but Spectrum made it like new! Incredible. They are also extremely friendly and professional. read more

My go to dry cleaners! The owner is so in touch with her customers. Whenever I come in, she makes sure I am settled and have all my things handled with in time and makes sure I get quality cleaning. read more

First time doing the whole dry cleaning thing, so maybe I am biased there. But I had a fantastic experience here. They are extremely professional when handling your order and clothing. Cannot find a single issue with their service. They do excellent work! 5/5 read more

Expensive but they do a great job. Family owned joint in the old town. Parking is limited and you might be able to park in front of the store and drop off/pick up clothes. Anything more and you need to park in the retail underground parking closeby (it's free but adds time). Will probably come here if I care too much about a garment else might just stick to the other chains read more

I took my winter jacket here to be cleaned. A month later I stop by to pick up my jacket. They told me they cannot clean the jacket because it is leather. The jacket is not leather, just the collar which I had removed. They should have called me to say they couldn't clean it rather than wait for me to pick it up. read more

F is for Falls Church Introduction on City of Falls Church: I thought of a business in the Little City of Falls Church, and believe me, this city is little! At 2.11 square miles, it is the smallest municipality in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Thank you Wikipedia! I wanted to make sure the F is for Falls Church was actually in the City of Falls Church and not a Falls Church mailing address such as Bailey's Crossroads & Seven Corners (south of US 50) in Fairfax County. Interesting note, of the 12 reviews that I had written before today with a Falls Church mailing address, only 1 of them was actually in the City of Falls Church. Spectrum Cleaners Experience: I had moved to Arlington (near Bailey's Crossroads) in October 2014 (from Alexandria). I had a dry cleaner I liked pretty well that I was using in the Old Town area, but that was out of the way. I looked on Yelp to figure out a good solid dry cleaner. The ones I saw that were very close to me had mixed reviews at best. I extended my search out a little best, and saw that Spectrum Cleaners had a lot of great reviews. Were they in the most convenient location for me? No, but I wanted to give them a try since the Yelp reviews were outstanding. I went here, and the middle-aged women was very friendly. I could tell that there was genuine warmth and that I wasn't just a # to her. They did a great job with my clothes and were efficient with getting my clothes cleaned in a timely manner. I kept going back here as I kept getting friendly, prompt service. Traffic & Testament to How Good They Are: Unfortunately, getting here involved going through the infamous Seven Corners since I lived in South Arlington. Depending on traffic, I would sometimes come off 50 & other times be on VA-7. But if I was going from Spectrum to home (especially if it was like around 5 or 6 PM on a weekday, it could be a nightmare getting through Seven Corners to go back home.) Whether you were planning on turning left on US 50 or continuing straight on VA-7 Leesburg Pike, the intersection is a s***show. You gotta be in the correct lane, and if you aren't, then you may be going a way you weren't planning on going. Also, once you're in City of Falls Church on Broad Street, the speed limit is only 25 mph. And I don't want to take a chance in the little city. All of that said, I still was willing to deal with the Seven Corners mess and slow speed limit to go to a superior dry cleaner. Price: The price was reasonable. It wasn't the cheapest out there, but you go too cheap on dry cleaning, you get what you pay for. It was cheaper than the place in Old Town although I had a discount since I knew the manager there, but I got tired of the staff there saying it was only 25% off when he had told me 50%. Even 25% off there would've still been a little more expensive than Spectrum Cleaners. Spectrum Cleaners was closer and while not the most convenient location for me was still easier than going all the way down to Old Town. Parking: Parking is a bit of a pain in this shopping center. Even my friend said that when I had suggested going to that Panera one time to meet for lunch. I parked in the garage, but had to walk around a while with my clothes to get to the Spectrum Cleaners. The friendly woman told me the first time; just pull to the side and turn your flashers on. So, that's what I did every time unless I was lucky enough to get one of just a couple of parallel spots. Buttons: Buttons are not a typical category, but remember this is a dry cleaners. There were a couple of times that a button broke or was missing. This is inevitable from many visits. They replaced with no questions asked. Conclusion: I moved from Arlington in August-September 2017; so I now have a dry cleaner walking distance from my apartment in Wheaton. read more

The cleaners are praised for their excellent work and reasonable pricing. Always accommodating, punctual, and pleasant.

Fast, friendly and affordable service. While on the east coast, I needed to get my suit cleaned and yelped dry cleaners that were close. Spectrum Cleaners showed up with the most stars and had great reviews. Dropped off my suit and was quoted a price along with a date and time that it would be ready. The price was reasonable for cleaning a coat and pants. The turn around time for when it would be done was quick. Additionally, the workers there are friendly and knowledgeable. Spectrum Cleaners also does alternations for both men and women. I also needed to get a pair of slacks hemmed and took it to them. Alternations are done on site and the turn around time is quick. If you are in need of dry cleaning or alterations, stop by Spectrum Cleaners. read more

Spectrum Cleaners - Not bad prices - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

One of the best dry cleaning services I've ever used! Their prices are amazing and they can turn around your clothes very quickly if needed. It would be nice if they could somehow get the parking space in front of their door dedicated for drop off/pick up customers, because parking spots are somewhat limited right outside the store, but I just pulled next to a spot and ran in quickly with no issues. read more

HOW SWAY? I've got a few nice suits, but a terrible tendency to wear out the elbows in my jackets. I recently took a jacket with a bad tear on the elbow from wear, to three different supposedly "the best" in Northern VA. One said it wasn't repairable, the other said she could fix it but it wouldn't look nice and the other said I should just buy a new suit....I was basically at a place where I was willing to see if anyone could fix it, and if it looked bad I'd just deal or donate the suit. I took it to Spectrum and the woman said they had two options. One was a $30 patch and the other was an $80 more extensive repair. I went with the cheaper option and she said come back in a week. While I was there I got a pair of jeans mended too. I picked up the jacket today...Y'all.... All I could say was "WOW", to which she smiled and said, "have a nice day" The damage was IMPERCEPTIBLE. the repair was flawless. I wish I'd have taken a before and after pic so you could see the skill. I've had an elbow repaired on another jacket for the same price and while it was passable you could still see the stitching, I'll be coming here for all my repairs. Apart from that she coulda hustled me into the more expensive option or shuffled me out like the others...but she didn't. She gave me the option and told me the cheaper one would still look nice...boy does it. In my book that's how you win and keep business. read more

Excellent dry cleaner. The price is reasonable, the job is well done and as a bonus one can have clothes cleaned within 24 hours. Highly recommended. read more

High-quality dry cleaning plus other services, though I've only used their dry cleaning services. I came in and got my suit dry cleaned, and my wife got her blouse done as well. We dropped them off and were in and out in less than a minute. We picked them up a few days later and once again, we were in then out and paid in less than a minute. Efficient, high quality, reasonable pricing, and friendly service. And my suit and my wife's blouse looked great and felt clean and new. I can't recommend Spectrum enough. read more

You know it's good when I had to convince myself not to be selfish and post a review of this place. I almost decided to not write a review because of how fantastic this place really is. (Wanted all the benefits to myself) However because this business is so well run, I want it to succeed the most so here I am sharing my perspective even if it includes a longer waiting time for my service. I called ahead and spoke with someone over the phone. I inquired about price on both an alteration and dry cleaning on two pants I have. I then asked about wait times, and out of all the businesses close by I reach out to... this one was the one willing to take me in short notice and return my clothing the quickest. I received all the information I needed. I drove over and from what I can say the only con to the entire experience was trying to find parking and having to cross some busy roads (inevitable due to location) When I arrive the place was not difficult to find and I was greeted with a smile and felt welcome. The woman that greeted me was Yeon, very sweet individual. She made sure that I was taken care of, marked in-front of me where she was going to alter my pants after she measured the inseam with me. (Brooks Brothers in Tysons decided to pick a size they wanted for me) I told her the urgency in when I needed the clothing done by and she held her promise. Very, very pleased with my service here. How could you not be? Fair pricing, attentive, kind, good quality work, listened to customers needs... If you have any question or consideration of trying this establishment out for the first time... do yourself a favor and visit Spectrum Cleaners. The service here was so phenomenal that I will be a customer for life. read more

Sent in my favorite polyester jacket with lots of oil stains from an incident with olives. Staff was so friendly and helpful! Although the stains weren't entirely removed, that jacket looks so much better than I expected! Will definitely continue to use this business! read more

Despite all the great reviews, I wish I had a better experience. First trip to this dry cleaners to remove a few stains from pants and also decided to add in some shirts for cleaning. Tried on a dress shirt a day after and noticed the collar wasn't fully cleaned and a button broken. Sorry to say, this place is overrated. Pricy and first experience was horrible. Would not recommend. read more

Spectrum Cleaners - Brand new shirt and made its trip to be cleaned for the first time at a cleaners only to come back with a broken button :( - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Friendly. Very conveniently located as I'm in the apartment complex nearby. Nice work.

This place is not the closest dry cleaners for me but this is the ONLY dry cleaners I go to. The service is so prompt, always on time, and I love the lady who works there!! I also tried their alteration services and turned out to be great. I have no complaints at all about this place=) read more

Spectrum Cleaners - They acutally cover every single button with foil so they dont get damaged!! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Yeonmee is so conscientious that she won't let me leave if there is any question my clothes haven't been laundered to my expectations. Superb service and so far they haven't broken any shirt buttons (knock on wood). read more

Cyndy's Bottom Line: A reliable, and excellent cleaner! Excellent customer service. Always returns the clothes better then they arrived. Fixes buttons. Cleans stains. read more

See all

I LOVE this place. I've brought my husbands suit here for dry cleaning and they are SUPERB. Yeon is very helpful and pleasant to interact with. I've also brought my down jacket here from lululemon because of a stain from wax. They were able to get it out and it looked just like new when I came to pick it up. Since they were able to get the stain out of my jacket and I so happened to have a stain from some sort of grease on my lululemon backpack, I decided to bring it in and give it a shot to see if they could help me. AND THEY DID. The prices are super reasonable and I feel like even if they charge a little more, it's the quality of the final product that you love. They are a small shop, but they do an amazing job. I will definitely come back for future dry cleaning services and I totally reccomend them for any kind of clothing cleaning services. read more

This is the first dry cleaning place I've ever gone to & will probably be the only one I continue to go to as long as I am in the area. The pricing is pretty fair for services, I usually don't pay more than $40 for the garments I bring in. I've brought in sweaters & dresses for dry cleaning & have gotten one of my dress hem's shorten. Service is quick, they ask when you need it by & I've never had a problem getting my garments back when I need them. They also have same-day service, if needed. The owner is super friendly & welcoming. She even remembered me by face after I hadn't returned in a month or two. Overall, awesome dry cleaning place & would definitely recommend to all my friends! read more

"Extremely professional. Go out of there way to make things look great! They are very reasonable price wise. all employees are just as kind and helpful. Nothing like clean fresh laundry! Great job guys look forward to using this service again read more

Gets the job done! At a great rate. Thank you! I will drive all the miles for your service again!

Very, very quick turnaround on a project I thought would be impossible (transferring sew-on greek letters from one shirt to another). It was a bit pricey, but totally worth it - you can't even tell that the shirt wasn't always thst way! read more

My winter coats all came out looking and smelling amazing. Its a little frustrating that hoods on jackets are considered an additional cost, but given that I only dry clean my coats once per season AND they turned out so nicely, I'd say it was well worth it. 4 coats, including 1 down coat, 1 down hood and regular hood cost me about $100. Not a stellar deal but definitely not unreasonable. read more

They tailored my white coat and did a great job. Reliable, better prices than I anticipated. Highly recommend this business.

Go here if you're a man, STAY AWAY if you're a woman. They ruin blouses and can't tailor dresses/jeans. Also, #genderpricing hardcore. I have been going here for two years. They are good at cleaning my husband's dress shirts but that's it. For women, GO ELSEWHERE. Three problems for women: 1. They are not gentle with women's blouses. They ruined 2 Ann Taylor silk shirts as the chemicals they used stretched out the elastic waist and messed up both shirts shape entirely. 2. I brought Paige premium denim jeans here only to be complete ruined- wayyyy too tight, I couldn't even pull them on all of the way. They are awful at tailoring. 3. Because I apparently still didn't learn my lesson, my Lilly Pulitzer dress was also tailored so tightly that it wouldn't zip all of the way. (Perhaps marking your tailor measurements with some safety pins while rushing isn't the best method.) I will be finding another tailor ASAP- sick of having my nice clothes ruined. read more

Ruined all my clothes and will not return. Sweaters: (1) Shrank my sweater in sleeve length and overall length. (2) Had a black cashmere sweater with crystals beading and a few were missing upon pickup. Owner tried to repair but didn't completely. Dress: (1) Had a black lace embellishments on a floral dress throughout, and some of the lace was torn/ripped off on several spots. (2) A creme silk evening dress that I normally wear to weddings that had a visible film (from the chemicals?) on it that made it look dull and less creme white. The owner tried to be accommodating by fixing/ repairing the damaged clothes and recleaning items that still looked dirty, but overall my clothes are ruined and I will not take my clothes here again. read more
