Stains happen. What matters is how they’re treated. With 97+ years of experience and Sanitone-certified expertise, Citywide Cleaners has seen and successfully treated virtually every type of stain imaginable.
Not all stains are equal, and treating them shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all approach. Our expert team identifies each stain type and applies the appropriate treatment method for maximum effectiveness while protecting the fabric.
Our stain removal expertise covers everything from everyday mishaps to challenging set-in stains:
Pro Tip: The sooner you bring in a stained garment, the better our chances of complete removal. Don’t attempt home remedies that might set the stain permanently – trust the experts at Citywide Cleaners.
Cleaning is only half the equation. Proper pressing and finishing transform freshly cleaned garments into crisp, professional-looking pieces ready to wear.
Our skilled team uses commercial-grade pressing equipment and decades of experience to achieve results that home ironing simply cannot match. We understand how each fabric type responds to heat and pressure, ensuring optimal results without damage.
Sometimes garments need refreshing rather than full dry cleaning. Our professional steaming service removes wrinkles, refreshes fabrics, and eliminates odors – perfect for recently worn items or garments that have been in storage.

Ready to experience the Sanitone Master Dry Cleaning difference? Here’s how to get started:
Visit us at 1960 51st St NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402, or call 319-364-6131 to schedule service. Open Monday-Friday 7am-6pm, Saturday 9am-1pm.
Standard dry cleaning turnaround is 2-3 business days. However, we offer same-day service when you drop off before 9:00 AM at our Cedar Rapids location (ready by 5:00 PM the same day). Complex items requiring special treatment or repairs may take slightly longer – we’ll always communicate expected timelines upfront.
Dry cleaning uses specialized solvents instead of water to clean garments. This method is essential for fabrics that would shrink, lose shape, or be damaged by water – such as wool, silk, rayon, and garments with special finishes. Our Sanitone process provides superior cleaning while protecting delicate fibers and maintaining garment structure.
While we have exceptional success with stain removal thanks to our Sanitone training and 97+ years of experience, some stains are more challenging than others. Set-in stains that have been heat-treated (dried in a dryer or ironed) are particularly difficult. The sooner you bring in a stained garment, the better our chances of complete removal. We’ll always be honest about what’s achievable and never charge for unsuccessful stain treatment attempts.
Yes! We dry clean a wide variety of items beyond clothing, including:
If you’re unsure whether an item can be dry cleaned, bring it in for a free assessment.
Professional dry cleaning is not only safe for appropriate garments – it’s essential for maintaining their appearance and extending their life. Our Sanitone Master Dry Cleaner certification ensures we use proven methods, proper equipment, and correct techniques for each fabric type. In fact, many garments last longer with professional dry cleaning than they would with home washing, which can be too harsh for delicate fabrics.
