Albany is a densely populated city on the east shore of San Francisco Bay, close to the University of California, Berkeley. It is also where we have kept a counter open for over 60 years, now with the third generation behind it. Drop your clothes off on the way to work: most dry cleaning is ready in 2 to 3 business days, and the counter can often expedite it.

What people in Albany bring us
Shirts with ink on them. A work outfit that is needed by morning. Residents here shop and eat along Solano Avenue, spend time at Albany Beach, and walk Albany Hill and Creekside Park, and the clothes they wear doing all of it end up at our counter. Two neighbours put it in their own words.
They've never damaged anything, and they really know how to get tough stains, like ink, out of my shirts.
This has become my local dry cleaner since moving to Albany... They've even accommodated urgent dry cleaning requests on multiple occasions, saving me from rushing out to buy a new work outfit.
Dropped off in the morning
The doors open at 7:00 AM on weekdays, so a stop at 814 San Pablo fits before work. Dry cleaning is typically ready in 2 to 3 business days and can often be expedited, and simple items can sometimes be done the same day. Call ahead and we will tell you what is realistic for what you are carrying in.
If a garment needs more than cleaning, a hem, a zipper or a seam, our seamstress is on site. And if you are not sure about a piece, ask. We clean all fabric types without the abrasive action of a washing machine.
