San Francisco, a city with rich layers of history and vibrant culture, is known for landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and its famous cable cars. Originally inhabited by the Ramaytush Ohlone people, the city transformed from a Spanish settlement in the late 1700s into a bustling hub after the 1849 Gold Rush.
In 1906, San Francisco faced a massive earthquake and fire, yet it quickly rebounded, later hosting the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915 as a symbol of its resilience. Today, San Francisco attracts millions of tourists yearly, drawn by the city’s unique architecture, thriving arts scene, and neighborhoods like Chinatown and Haight-Ashbury, known for the 1960s Summer of Love.
Alex’s Dry Cleaning Valet has been a trusted name in garment care for many years, and with each passing year, we refine and elevate our services to meet the unique needs of San Francisco’s discerning patrons.

Here’s what makes Alex’s Dry Cleaning Valet the top choice in San Francisco.
Our eco-friendly, PERC-free process and biodegradable detergents deliver spotless clothes while protecting the environment.
Each garment receives a custom treatment based on its fabric, construction, and unique details to preserve its quality and comfort.
From signing up to your first pickup order, our friendly team ensures a seamless experience that adapts to your schedule.
Our customers trust us not just for our expertise, but also for the way we treat them every time they walk through our doors.
To provide the best garment care service for our San Francisco clients, we follow a detailed seven step cleaning process designed to preserve the quality, texture, and color of each piece.
Here’s how we achieve our signature level of clean and care:
We begin with a thorough inspection of each garment, checking fabric type, color, and brand details. Spots, marks, and imperfections are carefully documented, while buttons and embellishments are either removed or shielded.
Any spots or stains are pretreated with fabric-safe solutions tailored to the garment’s material.
After assessing materials, construction, and any detailing, we select the best cleaning approach for each piece. Our eco-friendly options, including GreenEarth® and biodegradable hydrocarbon systems, protect both your clothes and the environment.
Finishing is where your garment truly comes to life. Our skilled pressers handle each piece individually, applying soft pressing techniques to prevent double creases or shine. This step gives your clothes a crisp, polished, ready-to-wear look.
During the inspection, we check for loose hems, open seams, or missing buttons. If we find anything that needs attention, we reach out via text, phone, or email to discuss repairs. Our seamstresses handle any minor fixes, ensuring your garments are flawless when returned to you.
Our Quality Control team conducts a final examination, making sure each garment is pristine, with buttons secured, loose threads removed, and a flawless overall appearance. This meticulous quality check is essential to our reputation as San Francisco’s best dry cleaners.
Once inspected, each garment is wrapped with tissue paper, hung on covered hangers, and placed in reusable garment bags. We offer options to fold or hang items based on your preference, while our hanger recycling program keeps everything sustainable.
