Have a beloved pair of shoes on their last leg? Or a white blazer with an unfortunate Cab stain? We've rounded up the top specialty garment cleaners and repair services in San Francisco to get your favorite pieces back in action. 

LAUNDRY

25th Street Dry Cleaners (Mission) 

In general, dry cleaners may not be known for their cheery demeanor. But Tim Chan's Mission operation is an exception. Customers rave about the price, quality, and friendliness of his service. 3416 25th Street

Burbujas/Text-o-Mat (Mission)

Marion and Kenneth use an on-site locker system to drop off and pick up your wash and fold clothes. When your loads are complete, you'll receive a text with the locker number, combination, and price of the job and you can pick it up at your convenience. 2899 24th Street

Green Streets Cleaners (Mission Bay)

It's located in Mission Bay but trusted by SF residents far and wide for the thorough, environmentally friendly, and safe cleaning of special garments including dresses and suits. They also offer wash and fold, wedding gown preservation, alterations, and shoe-shine services. 207 Berry Street

Peninou French Laundry and Cleaners(Cow Hollow) 

You won't want to use this Cow Hollow dry cleaner for your weekly drop off. The price can be prohibitive, and they'd rather clean Balenciaga than your boxers. But if your favorite white Saint Laurent silk blouse ended the holidays with a carignane stain, Peninou may be your only hope. Just be sure you're clear on the price before you hand it over. 3063 Laguna Street

Russ Cleaners & Laundry (Haight)
