Miller’s Cleaners

My long dress was hemmed perfectly (she actually cut fabric…) and did a great job with a blouse as well :) She is a sweet woman in addition to being knowledgeable!

I was in today, and had a great experience. However, the sweet couple who run this small cleaning and tailoring shop were screamed at by an angry woman who was charged $ 15 to hem a pair of pants, rather than the $ 12 she was quoted over the phone. As the misunderstanding escalated two of us attempted to calm this woman down, but to no avail. She is determined to ruin them in any way she can. It turns out there is another shop down the block, with another seamstress named Chou, and perhaps that was who she spoke with by phone. In any event she left screaming, and poor Chou was in tears. Please disregard any negative rant that comes in about this unfortunate episode.

Chau does excellent alterations and really knows how cloth falls and tailoring works. Hemming, taking in, etc.
She gives good advice on what alterations will work, and what won’t. They only take checks or cash, no credit cards. The alterations are not inexpensive (in contrast to the dry-​cleaning which
is cheaper than some other local businesses) but well done.

I’ve been here so many times I never thought of reviewing it. There is a ton of DC’s here but this place is closest and they do a good job. Never a complaint really. Prices are par. Nobody gives anyone a break in MV, this place is never an exception. The plus for me is that I rarely say a word, as she knows who I am and just grabs my stuff and gives me a pickup date and I’m gone! Usually like 5 days. There are way faster and greener places around though.

This is a family owned business that has been around for many years. They are so friendly and the service is excellent. Just as Danielle S said, when walking in they always remember you and ask how things are going.
I’ve had them dry clean my down comforters and they come back fluffy as ever and smelling so fresh.
I’ve had Chau alter jeans, bridesmaid dresses, and suits. She takes careful care of every detail, and does a fabulous job.
They even wash and fold regular laundry. Although, I’ve never used this service I thought that was great for those who need it

I love this place, friendly, amazing alterations, the only tailor that I know that literally magically reproduces the original hem on every kind of jeans! I kid you not, distressed denim even! The cleaning is great as well, they got out a super old stain from a silk shirt perfectly, super impressive.

I’m not a «fashion whore» like Danielle S., but I do wear clothes. I took those clothes to Miller’s Cleaners for about 5 years, but recently stopped. I could put up with the fact that they lost 2 of my shirts over the years and I could deal with the pricey dry-​cleaning. No, what finally turned me off was that they switched laundry services for their shirts and made no apologies when I complained about the decline in quality. For years, my shirts were coming back clean and pressed well. Then they had to have switched laundry facilities, because my shirts started coming back with ring around the color, broken buttons, and poor hang jobs (resulting in wrinkles). When I complained about the shirts not looking clean, the owner told me that it was my fault I sweat too much. My toxic sweat had permanently stained my shirts. So, I took my shirts home, dropped them in the laundry with some run of the mill detergent and voila! they came out clean and without ring around the collar!
I’ve tried other cleaners in MV and have gotten much better results. I’m still not all warm and fuzzy about any particular dry cleaner, but I won’t be going back to Miller’s.

It’s really nice sometimes to experience your own version of the Cheer’s episode, you know, where everyone knows your name. That’s what happens every time I walk into Miller Cleaners. Not only do they know who I am and ask how I am, but they ask how my friends are, my staff, my store. Wow, I’m ususally quite impressed.
They not only can dry clean the crap out of that dirty shirt in a timely fashion, but they dry clean half of the absurd ridiculous fashions that I so adore that line my closet.
Recently they dry cleaned my Moschino dress dripping with pearls. She removed every pearl before cleaning it, and meticulously replaced them afterwards. My dress looks, and smells fantastic which is not what it was like after I sat in the sun for six hours at a black tie benefit in Lake Tahoe wearing my fabulous dress. It was 96 degrees that day and my dress was disgusting. Now it’s perfect and smells brand new.
That vintage chanel blazer with the black patent leather trim that’s a fashion whore’s wet dream, yep, you guessed it, just absolutely perfect.
She alters my clothes, knows what I like. And when I show up at the door five minutes before they close after we have both had a long day in retail and in life, she bears a perfect smile and still treats me as if she has all day to talk and isn’t exhausted needing to go home.
It isn’t cheap when I get those clothes cleaned there, but when is perfection free these days?
