drycleaner
Presses your suits
A drycleaner is a business that cleans clothes and fabrics using chemical solvents rather than water, or a person who operates such a business.
Items that might shrink, bleed, or lose shape in water—suits, silk blouses, wool coats—go to the drycleaner: I need to pick up my suits from the drycleaner.
Also spelled dry cleaner.
