Best Of: Lyerly's Takes Dry Cleaning Honors

Do you channel Lady MacBeth when you find a stain on your best suit or that cocktail dress you only wore for an hour to that fancy gallery opening?

Instead of pulling your hair out trying to figure out how to get rid of the spot, take your garment to one of the two Lyerly's Cleaners locations in West Ashley. Our users voted them the best dry cleaner in West Ashley for a reason.

"We're celebrating our 80th birthday in buiness this year," Lyerly's Marketing Director Kasie Cabiness said.

Garnering half of the votes in West Ashley Patch's second Best of poll, it's clear that over the years Lyerly's has made an impression on Charlestonians and built a reputation for quality service.

In addition to taking care of clothes with the "dry clean only" label, Cabiness said Lyerly's also does curtains, blankets and comforters and even offers pick-up and drop-off service for homes and businesses.

Lyerly's seven locations in the Charleston area, including two in West Ashley, four in Mount Pleasant and one in James Island, and the company's business office is located in Mount Pleasant on Coleman Boulevard.

The company also takes an pro-environmental stance, encouraging customers to recycle when possible, and steering clear of the potential environmental and health hazards of percholoroethylene - a solvent traditionally used in dry cleaning - by using a more eco-friendly alternative.

"We've never used that solvent," Cabiness said. "We've always used one that is more environmentally friendly."

West Ashley Patch users also cast votes for Classic Dry Cleaners and $1.75 Cleaners in our poll, splitting the other 50 percent of the vote between the two evenly.
