Dry Cleaners

Which Dry cleaner in the Davis area do you guys prefer? I've been to Zoots in Porter before, but they take way too long and they are expensive. Any recommendations?

In Teele Square, we've been using Chris Fine Tailoring for 15 years.
Run by an older Asian immigrant couple who are always there and remember us by face.

The only thing I wish they'd do is start using environmentally friendlier cleaning chemicals.

I love this place. I ALWAYS forget my claim ticket and the woman always remembers which clothes are mine. Her memory is incredible. I've even gone in there without my wallet and she let me take my clothes anyway and told me to pay next time.

Is there really any such thing as environmentally friendly dry cleaning chemicals?

Same here, in fact if my husband drops off the clothes and I pick them up she still knows who they are.

I said friendli*er*. I can't believe it's an environmentally good process no matter what, but there are ways to do it "better" at least. I figure that using dry cleaners 3x a year or so lowers our personal impact some.

I did some research about 'cleaner' dry cleaners. I'll post as a comment to the OP

Chris Fine is awesome. I use them for dry cleaning and tailoring, and have been very, very happy with both services.
