Closed Dry Cleaner Customers Can Get Their Clothes

DCist was the first to report yesterday on the sudden closing of Cornerstone Cleaner, the dry cleaners located at the corner of 14th and U Streets NW. Hundreds of garments belonging to customers remained locked inside, and a telephone number posted on the door went to a full voice mailbox. We've just learned that those of you with items still inside the cleaners should be able to pick up clothing both today and tomorrow, from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Department of Consumer & Regulatory Affairs spokesperson Michael Rupert confirmed that the agency has arranged with the property manager to open the dry cleaners this afternoon, as well as the same hours tomorrow, for people to retrieve their things.

If you're unable to stop by today or Thursday, DCRA says you can call them at 202-442-4615 or email consumer.protection@dc.gov, and the agency can assist customers in getting their clothing back.
