Dry cleaning costs?

I rarely bring anything to the dry cleaners, so I'm clueless as to the cost.  I need to bring a dress to get dry cleaned for an upcoming wedding.  It's a knee-length, satiny sheath, so nothing too extravagent.  Anyone have any ideas on the dry cleaning cost for something like that? 

And, to piggy back on that...has anyone ever used Dryel?  Thoughts?  Yay/nay?

Re: Dry cleaning costs?

  • I am a lucky biotch, and I get free dry cleaning at work, so I'm not sure how much that would normally cost. . . I used to use Dryel, when I didn't get free dry cleaning, but that was 10 years ago. It was decent back then, and I'm sure it's gotten better, but for something fancier than a pair of slacks, I would stick with regular dry cleaning. Someone else might have more experience with Dryel though :).
  • Before we got a clothes steamer, I'd use dryel for refreshing sweaters and dry-clean-only pants.  i never usedit for a dress.

    The cost to clean that dress could be anywhere between $10 and $20 depending on the cleaner. 

    I had a dress cleaned last year and it was $15 with a coupon.

    Ditto this.  I think I would still with the pros for a dress.  Around here $15-$20 is the average.

  • I agree with the other girls....$15 is about average. You can call a few cleaners around you and ask for $$...also, Yelp is always good to search and read about peoples experiencs. I was going to take something to the cleaners by me until I read a ton of horrible reviews.
  • $15-20 isn't too bad I guess.  At least I have a range to expect.

    Agent- thanks for the Yelp suggestion!  I always forget about that site!
