Sylvia's is, hands-down, the best dry cleaners in the area, and I've tried them all! From men's shirts, to specialty items such as bedding, their results are always perfect. Their pickup and delivery service is punctual, and saves me so much time (not to mention, keeps me on schedule). Check them out!

Report
I've been a frequent customer over the years for dress shirts and winter coats, and I've had great experiences along those lines. But I would not recommend taking your evening gowns or expensive items to be cleaned here. I left a silk dress to be cleaned over the weekend, and the coffee stain was only mildly faded and the bottom of the dress was still dirty. I did not bother bringing this issue up at the time of payment, as personal friends and family have had less than desirable customer service with similar issues. Luckily the competitor down the street cleaned and pressed it beautifully!
