I have used Dry Clean City for years. I now live in Alabaster and I drive to Vestavia whenever I need alterations or blankets laundered. They do an excellent job and I have always been happy with the work. They also do alterations and prices are so reasonable. Service: Alterations

I've been using this dry cleaners for several years, and to me, they're the best because of their friendly service and price! When I first started coming, they were $2.50 per item. After the pandemic they've had to raise the price a bit - but it's still cheaper than most places I'm aware of, and the service is great!

Really happy I discovered this place. I had some blackening curtains shortened and cleaned. They had them done quickly and they turned out perfectly.

Critical: Quality In the course of a year, they have smashed or melted about half of the buttons on the cuffs of my shirts. Used another dry cleaner and never had that problem. I don't wear dress shirts or dry clean that often.
