But tonight... tonight I picked up my first round of cleaning from OXXO. They are greener... they are 24 hour... and my clothes... they smell... well, they don't. Yes, I think it was more expensive ($34 for two girl-suits and 1 errant jacket), but have you seen their 24 hour pick-up? And seriously, the chemicals might be greener - but that stuff... it smells like NOTHING. My clothes smell of NOTHING. Brilliant!
So now, I bring you - Columbia Heights Countdown: Best Dry Cleaners.
3. Georgetown Valet
2. Kenyon Square
1. OXXO - try it... you'll like it.
These are the only three I've tried, so feel free to give your favorite dry cleaner a shout-out in the comments section.

I can't imagine going anywhere other than Oxxo given the 24 hour pickup... nothing can beat that (except when the machine is broken).
I like New Amsterdam cleaners, in the New Amsterdam apartment building at 14th and Fairmont. It doesn't have 24 hour pickup, but it's open 7-7 every day but Sunday, and it is definitely a mom-and-pop shop. Well, just mom. She alters clothes, but I don't know about shoes. And it's cheaper than OXXO.
New Amsterdam scorched a pair of my partner's pants and then accused him of trying to swindle them when he went in to let them know what happened. We're never going back there again.
I just got two pairs of pants back from Kenyon Square. Maybe the place has a new process, but they pants came back the most clean and press they have ever been.
have only used gtown and xoxo - both are beyond expensive for women to take their clothes to, will not go back to either.
