What dry cleaning costs in Greenville, SC
Price follows the garment, not the category. Rather than post a rate card that goes stale, we quote your actual items before any work starts — and we will do it on the phone in about a minute.
FabriCare of Greenville quotes every garment before cleaning rather than working from a published rate card, because construction drives cost far more than the garment's category does — a lined silk dress with a beaded bodice and pleated skirt takes hand finishing that an unlined cotton shift does not. Call any of our three stores, describe what you have, and you will get a real number before you commit. Pickup and delivery is free at every price point: no delivery fee, no minimum order, no contract, and delivery customers pay exactly what walk-in customers pay.
We understand why you are on this page: you want a number, and most cleaners make you call for it. Here is the honest reason we do the same. Garment pricing in this trade is set by what the piece takes to finish, and the same nominal item varies by a factor of two or more depending on how it is built. A posted list would either be wrong for most garments or so hedged with ranges that it tells you very little — and it would need revising several times a year as fabrics, solvent and labour costs move.
What we can tell you precisely is what determines your price, which is the section below, and that the quote you get at the counter is the price you pay. We quote before we clean, never after. If extended stain work would change the number, we stop and call you first rather than surprising you at collection.

Quoted before cleaning · Never after
Six things that move a price up or down
These are the factors our counter staff are reading when they quote you. Knowing them means you can usually predict whether a piece will sit at the low or the high end before you call.
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Fabric | Silk, wool crepe, rayon and acetate need gentler solvent cycles and hand finishing. Cotton and polyester blends tolerate standard processing. |
| Lining | A lined jacket is effectively two garments that have to dry and press at the same rate without puckering at the seams. |
| Pleating | Knife pleats and accordion pleats are pressed individually by hand. A plain A-line skirt is not. |
| Beading & trim | Beads, sequins, appliqué and metallic trim have to be protected or hand-finished around, and some cannot go through solvent at all. |
| Construction | Structured shoulders, boning, crinoline and multiple skirt layers all add finishing time — this is why two dresses on the same rack can price very differently. |
| Condition | Set stains need time at the spotting board with specific agents. Extended spotting is quoted separately and always discussed with you first. |

Pricing & turnaround questions
How much does dry cleaning cost in Greenville, SC?
How much does dry cleaning cost in Greenville, SC?
Price depends on the garment rather than the category, so we quote at the counter instead of publishing a list. Fabric, lining, pleating, beading and trim drive the cost far more than the label does — a simple cotton dress costs less to clean than a lined silk one, and two suits can price differently. Call the store nearest you, describe the item, and we will quote it before any work starts. Pickup and delivery is always free, with no delivery fee, no minimum and no contract.
Is there a delivery fee for pickup and delivery?
Is there a delivery fee for pickup and delivery?
No. FabriCare of Greenville's pickup and delivery is completely free — no delivery fee, no fuel surcharge, no order minimum and no contract. Delivery customers pay exactly the same per-item prices as customers who walk into the store.
How long does dry cleaning take?
How long does dry cleaning take?
Standard dry cleaning at FabriCare of Greenville takes two to three business days. Same-day service is available at all three locations for garments dropped off in the morning when you call ahead, while specialty work takes longer — wedding gown preservation runs two to four weeks and leather or suede cleaning two to three weeks because both are handled by specialists.
Do you offer same-day dry cleaning?
Do you offer same-day dry cleaning?
Yes. Garments dropped off by 10:00 AM at any of our three locations are ready by 5:00 PM the same day, for an $8.95 rush fee per order. Same-day work is pulled out of normal production and run on its own, which is what the fee covers. Standard dry cleaning and laundered shirts rush well; wedding gowns, leather, suede and heavily stained garments need longer and cannot be rushed responsibly.
