Dry cleaning services in Munich

Can anyone recommend a good dry cleaner in downtown or in the east end? I've got a few ties and jackets that I would like to freshen up.

I'd be interested in the answer to this question but for the Schwabing or Maxvorstadt areas.

I've heard good things about Butler James or whatever it's called on Dachauerstr. Head up Dachauerstr from Hbf on the left hand side and if you get as far as the Inter cafe then you've gone too far. Actually if you get that far, have a Hot Wrap Geflugel. They're great!

For Schwabing, can recommend the dry cleaners next to Hozellenstraße U-Bahn.

Does anyone know of a good dry cleaners in the Giesing area?

There's a good one across from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in the city. There's also one inside the Arabella Park. I don't know the exact name but its the only one there...catty corner from the DB ATM machines.

All of them seem to be damn expensive in this city. Try finding a bottle of "febreeze"...near the laundry products of your market. I bought mine in Frankfurt but it should be available here.

You can use it on most fabrics...test it first but I've used it on different suits. Useful for basic freshup, i.e. getting the smoke smells out my jackets. Also useful at home if you smoke or have pets.

The Mandrin Oriental isn't too far away, at least it is central, I might give the dry cleaners there a try. Thanks for that. If anyone does know of one closer to Giesing let me know.

FYI, I found this place (presuming pepper meant U2/Hohenzollernpl.). It’s Elite Meisterreinigung, at Fallmerayerstr. 1 near Hohenzollernstr., 80796 Schwabing. Telephone 3 00 92 12.

Hallo,

We're new to the area; don't speak German yet and can't even figure out how to look up a dry cleaners? Dirty laundry waits for no language acquisition skills. Any advice you could provide would be much appreciated. Area Rotkreuzplatz / Neuhausen.

Danke!

Try Google. The word is "Reinigung". On www.muenchen.de, for example, you'll get the list of just about every drycleaner in the city, in alphabetical order (with exact address + neighbourhood).

OK we just took our pillows to be dry cleaned as they are too large for any washer we have access to (damn oversized German pillows!)...and they want 12 € per pillow to clean them...is it just me or is that excessive??? We only paid like 20 per pillow at Ikea. Anyone know if that is an average price or are they just taking the piss?

Take your pillows to a normal laundromat. Throw them in, wash them, and then put them in the dryer with a couple of tennis balls. The balls will bang around, helping to fluff them out.

Yeah that is what I figured but Tom reckoned they were too big. Guess we will check out the local Waschsalon.

Prices for dry-cleaning vary wildly. For example, there's a chain called "Martinizing" which operates several outlets based on a franchising system. For whatever reason, their different Munich outlets charge substantially different prices for the same items. If - e.g. - you want to have a "Daunendecke" (comforter filled with goose feathers) dry-cleaned, it costs 15.90 Euro in Schwabing, but 20.40 Euro at Sendlinger Tor. Same company, price difference of more than 25 %. Their online price list doesn't explicitly feature pillows/cushions, though:

I don't know how big your pillows are, but even if you wash them separately (and they can't be too big to fit individually in the laundromat machines, those are big machines), it'll still only run you around €10 for the whole washing drying process.

Whatever you do, please avoid the drycleaner on Belgradstrasse (Schwabing), located between Clemenstr. and Destouchesstr. (next to the yummy pizza place). Sadly, they shrunk a beautiful pant suit and a winter jacket of mine (and faded the colour too). Avoid!!!

Can anyone recommend a dry cleaner who deals with difficult fabrics. Specifically, I need to get a beaded top cleaned and the women at my usual cleaner cheerfully told me that maybe the beads would melt during the cleaning.
I thought that "maybe" wasn't really good enough for something that is irreplacable, so if anyone can help I would be grateful.

My DH has just informed me he needs his suit and tie dry cleaned for tomorrow . If I go into Marienplatz or HBF will I find a dry cleaner who will do a 1 hr service for me? I think this is probably a ridiculous question really, but I'll ask in the hope of a miracle!

Any personal miracle dry cleaning experiences appreciated!

There is a chain of dry-cleaners called Martinizing. I think they have some kind of same day dry-cleaning. I used them once, but I don't remember the service/performance very well. They have branches close to Viktualienmarkt and Isartor. I looked up the phone numbers:

Rosenthal 10 Tel 26011614
Zweibrückenstrasse 6: Tel 295885

Give them a call, maybe they can help you

@Renia
The nearest Martinizig to you is probably the one at Sendlinger Tor Platz 10 (that block is the very beginning of Sonnenstrasse, in fact).

So in the US I would get my shirts dry cleaned for .89 or .99 cents and it was in by 9 out by 5.

Does anyone user someone here that does this. I know it will be a little more on the cost (as everything in Munich), but maybe they have something better than 2€ a shirt...

agreed - would love to know if someone has found something decent in Schwabing area. Just arrived, and the place near the local grocery store advertises for something like 3 pieces for 10 or 15 euro (can't exactly remember, just that it was much more than we're used to paying)
thanks for the help!

EDIT: oops, this thread must have just been merged. many thanks

I dont know if you have Globus supermarkets in your part of D. Thats who we use for out dry cleaning.
The main lady on the counter is Turkish and we get on very well with her and the cleaning standard is almost as good as back in the UK.

i know of a couple of places near my work (just south of Frankfurter Ring) that will do 4 shirts for €5. not sure on the turnaround time, though.

Hey OG
Do you have the name or addresses of the place?
