Everyone in Boston is familiar with Dependable Cleaners, the family owned and operated dry cleaner that has been in business since 1944.  From Newbury Street to the South Shore, they offer everything from complimentary pickup and delivery service; wash, dry and fold services; wedding gown cleaning and preservation as well as everyday tailoring and alterations.
What makes them so unique is they also offer a luxury garment care service known as Style by Dependable where their expert artisans work meticulously to clean and restore classic clothing and couture designer fabrics while maintaining its natural beauty.
