What affects the price

Four factors determine the final price of dry cleaning a garment:

Fabric type. Silk and wool require more careful handling — lower drum temperatures, specialist pressing — than cotton or synthetic. The additional care is reflected in the price.

Embellishment complexity. A plain Banarasi saree and a heavily embroidered one take significantly different amounts of pressing time. Zardozi, sequins, mirror work and beaded borders each require individual attention that adds pressing time.

Stain treatment required. A garment with no stains goes through the standard cycle and pressing. One with haldi stains, oil marks or blood requires pre-spotting that adds time and specialist chemicals. Complex or aged stains may require multiple treatment cycles.

Size and weight. Full bridal lehengas, heavy woollen overcoats, and large curtain panels require more solvent, longer cycle times, and considerably more pressing time than a single kurta.

Express service — 24-hour turnaround

Standard turnaround is 48 hours from pickup or drop-off. Express 24-hour service is available at a premium of approximately 40–50% on the base garment price. Express service is subject to capacity — confirm availability when booking.

Express is recommended for: garments needed for an event within 24 hours, wedding season when garments need to be ready for consecutive days of function, and situations where a stain has just occurred and needs prompt treatment before setting.

Best advice on timing

Book dry cleaning at least 72 hours before you need a garment. 48 hours is the standard. 24-hour express exists but carries capacity risk during peak seasons (Puja, wedding season Oct–Feb). During peak season, book a week ahead if you can.

Questions

Questions answered directly.

At The Swiss Laundry: shirts from ₹80–100, sarees ₹120–400 depending on fabric and embroidery, suits ₹300–400, lehengas ₹400–1,500 for bridal pieces. Prices include steam pressing and are quoted on inspection for heavily embroidered garments.

For garments that can safely be either washed or dry cleaned, dry cleaning costs more per item. But for silk sarees, woollen suits, embroidered occasion wear and structured jackets — garments that should not be machine washed — comparing dry cleaning to home washing is comparing the correct method to a damaging one.

Free pickup is available on orders above ₹1,000. Below that, walk-in drop-off at Kasba is available. WhatsApp 9836233354 to confirm pickup eligibility for your area and order value.

Express service carries a 40–50% premium on the standard garment price. Availability depends on current capacity — confirm at the time of booking. During Puja and wedding season, advance booking is strongly recommended.
