So all the dry cleaning places here are literally Korean, which isnt racist because its true...

I am nervous to get stuff dry cleaned with the obvious language barrier. I assume they know what they're doing, but I am afraid of them ruining something...

If I just show up with a dress shirt and a sweater will they know what to do? Or do I run the risk of having it shrunk to midget size? I am thinking about doing a test run with something.. but I would prefer not to risk really anything.

Anyone?

Chances are they'll know. When I went the first time, the lady asked me "duh-ry?" I said "네" and all was good.

ditto the above poster. i go to this little whole in a wall near my apartment and they have never wrecked anything and i have brought sweaters, shirts, dress pants, coats, etc etc.

they even do shoe cleaning! if you have white sneakers, this is a godsend.

Ditto as well. Got some pants done and they were awesome, so no complaints here in the least.

And it is SOOOO cheap! I get my shirts for, what? 1000W per? It's $3.99 back home!

The only problem I had was with one place that didn't know how to handle the beads and sequins on a blouse. The blouse is fine, just less ornate than it was before.
