Wheaton Valet Cleaners has been cleaning the DMV's most demanding wardrobes for over 150 combined staff years. Every garment is inspected, tagged, and hand-finished by technicians who treat a $4,000 suit with the same care as a favorite blouse. We use eco-friendly solvents that are safer for the fabric and safer for the environment — no harsh chemical smell when your clothes come back.
How our dry cleaning process works
Every item is inspected on intake for stains, missing buttons, weakened seams, and trim details. Stains are pre-treated by hand before the garment enters the machine — because once fabric hits solvent, set-in stains become permanent. We use modern eco-friendly systems that run cooler and gentler than traditional perc, which means less shrinkage, less fading, and longer garment life. Finished pieces are hand-pressed, quality-checked, and hung on suit-shaped hangers, then protected in breathable garment bags for pickup or delivery.
What we clean
Suits, sport coats, trousers, dresses, gowns, blouses, silk shirts, cashmere, wool coats, ties, scarves, pocket squares, uniforms, and formalwear. Designer and couture items get extra attention — we photograph delicate beading, lace, and custom trim before service so nothing changes. If you have an item with a 'dry clean only' tag, we can handle it.
Turnaround and scheduling
Standard turnaround is 48 hours. Same-day service is available for items dropped off before 10 AM at the Wheaton location (ask about availability). Membership customers get priority turnaround as a standing perk. Free pickup and delivery runs Monday through Saturday — schedule by phone or through the site.
Eco-friendly, family-safe
We switched to eco-friendly solvents because we send finished clothes home with families that include kids, pets, and people with sensitive skin. Our process leaves no chemical residue, no harsh perc smell, and is approved for use in dense residential areas. You'll notice the difference the moment you open the garment bag.
