It’s that time of year, when The Apprentice meets Fashion Week, and OCR is on everyone’s minds. Between printing resumes and thinking of what makes you a perfect fit for that one company, don’t forget about making sure your power suit is clean and ready. Check out these suggestions for dry-cleaning options around campus:
1. Spruce Hill Cleaners
401 S 45th Street, (215) 823-6863
Spruce Hill Cleaners charges similar prices to other dry cleaners in University City. Their fees are around $1.95 for a dress shirt and $11.50 for a suit (jacket and pants/skirt).
2. Bonded Boutique Cleaner
3724 Spruce Street, (215) 382-1890
Located right next to Wawa and Gia Pronto on Spruce, this small boutique and dry cleaner is convenient for all of your dry-cleaning needs. They offer same-day service, so Bonded is a great option if you’re pressed for time (no pun intended).
3. All Seasons Cleaners
101 S 40th Street, (215) 386-9886
This shop located at 40th and Chestnut usually takes a few days to turn around orders, so we recommend you drop things off accordingly. All Seasons charges about $2.50 for a shirt and around $5.50 for a blazer. Customers can also call the shop for a more specific price quote.
