How Much Do Dry Cleaner Services Cost?

The rates for Dry Cleaning in Auckland vary; the figures below represent the rates you should pay in general, and we recommend you shop around for the best prices before you settle on your chosen dry cleaner:

Trousers $20 - $30
Shirt $15 - $25
Dress $15 - $30
Two-Piece Suit $20 - $35

From that list, take the lower prices as Dry Clean-only, and the higher rates for Dry Clean and Press, although you will need to ask for prices for more specialist items such as wedding dresses and more elaborate suits.

How Can I Get the Best Price for Dry Cleaning?

Shop Around – Dry Cleaning provider prices vary. You'll ideally want somewhere that's convenient to where you live, has a wide range of opening hours, and has car parking if you plan to drive there.
Ask if Multi-Item Discounts are offered – Some dry cleaners will give you a discount if you have several items that need cleaning rather than just one, so check your wardrobe and know what the deals are upfront. For example, "five shirts for $30" means you'll need to bring five shirts. Per-shirt pricing will likely cost more.
Double Up with Friends and/or a Partner – In addition to the above, if you find a Dry Cleaner that offers reasonable rates for multiple items, see if your friends need dry Cleaning, and save money that way.

What to Look for When Choosing a Dry Cleaner
Following are a few points to consider when looking for a dry cleaner in Auckland:

Do you have transport, or do you need a cleaner within walking distance?
If there is no one within walking distance, are there any that will pick up and drop off your items?
Check their website for customer testimonies (and look independently at Google and Facebook comments)
Ask about their damaged goods policy
Ask if there are any perks available such as tailoring or alterations - a good Dry Cleaner will also mend clothing at the same time if needed
If you need items pressed, make sure it is in the price
What is the turnaround time - this is important to ensure you always have enough clothes.

Before You Settle on a Dry Cleaner, Consider the Following:

Do you need Dry Cleaning, or will your garments be easily cleaned another way?
Ask friends and family for their recommendations - a good Dry Cleaner is someone you'll likely use for years.
Do try and make a decent bundle for cleaning, as it’s always better value than one item.

The above points and considerations should help you in your search for a reputable and trustworthy Dry Cleaner in Auckland. The ideal Dry Cleaner is one that offers you sensible rates that you can rely on and incorporate their hours and turn-around into your weekly routine.
