When dry cleaning is the right choice
Dry cleaning isn't a luxury — it's the safer choice for fabrics that can't survive being submerged in water. Wool suits shrink. Silk shantung gowns lose their hand. Structured tailoring loses the canvas shape that makes it sit right. Cashmere and tweed felt and distort. If your garment label reads dry clean only, that instruction exists because the manufacturer tested the fabric and found water-washing damaged it. (Two exceptions we handle differently: barong tagalog and Filipiniana, which we gently water-wash rather than dry clean, and leather and suede, which get their own conditioning process — each has its own service page.)
We see a steady mix of these at every branch: structured corporate suits from Ortigas, BGC, and Ayala Avenue; abito and formal dresses after weddings and Independence Day inaugurations; bridal gowns from receptions at Manila Cathedral, San Agustin, Antipolo Cathedral, and Tagaytay venues; wool coats that survived a Baguio trip; cashmere scarves brought home from Hong Kong and Tokyo.
How our dry cleaning process works
Every garment is inspected at intake. Our counter staff check pockets, note pre-existing damage on the tag, identify stains that need pre-treatment, and confirm fabric type. We won't accept a garment without your initials acknowledging anything we flag — it's how the brand has avoided customer disputes for 30+ years.
- Pre-spotting — perspiration, makeup, food, and ink stains are treated by hand before the garment enters the machine.
- Solvent cleaning in our temperature-controlled tumblers, calibrated for the fabric load.
- Post-clean inspection for residual stains; anything we missed goes back through pre-spotting.
- Steam pressing on a form (for jackets, gowns, and structured pieces) or by hand (shirts, barong, delicate sleeves).
- Final quality check before packaging — we hang, bag, and tag every order ready for pickup.
What we charge
Standard dry cleaning prices (effective December 2025): ₱255 for a dress shirt or polo, ₱335 for a suit jacket or sports coat, around ₱590 for a two-piece suit (₱335 jacket plus ₱255 trousers), and ₱255 for trousers alone. Wool and wool-blend coats run higher — ₱455 for a wool-blend coat, ₱635 for full wool. Pricing for specialty pieces — wedding gowns, beaded Filipiniana, and ternos with patadyong — is given after a quick inspection because no two gowns are the same. Barong tagalog (gently water-washed) and leather are priced under their own services. Bring it in for a free quote; you'll know the price before you commit.
Turnaround you can plan around
Standard turnaround is three to five days (calendar days, not working days). That window is what allows us to pre-spot, clean, press, and quality-check without rushing the steps that protect your garment. Same-day service isn't available, so for a sudden meeting, a Friday wedding, or a Sunday christening, drop off a few days ahead and plan around the standard window.
Specialty fabrics we handle every week
- Wool suits — single-breasted, double-breasted, and three-piece formal sets.
- Wedding gowns — A-line, ball gown, mermaid, and Filipiniana terno cuts.
- Coats and overcoats — wool, wool-blend, and trench styles.
- Abito, formal dresses, and beaded gowns — pleated, long, and embellished cuts.
- Silk, satin, chiffon — gowns, scarves, ties, and heritage pieces.
- Cashmere, wool, and tweed outerwear from cooler-climate travel.
Two things we deliberately keep off this list: barong tagalog and Filipiniana, which we clean by gentle water-washing because dry-cleaning solvents weaken the delicate jusi and piña fibers, and leather and suede, which need conditioning rather than solvent. Both have their own dedicated service pages.
