Ray and his team at Kroner have always done an excellent job with any clothing we have had professionally cleaned by him. However, Ray and his team did a PHENOMENAL job with my daughter’s wedding dress and heirloom veil. We gave it to him after many try ons and handling with alterations so it needed lots of cleaning and steaming. The dress returned in pristine condition and ready to wear to church. The Kroner team is kind, professional, excellent at their craft coupled with great communication. I unequivocally recommend them for any and all garment needs.

Kroner has been our family dry cleaner for decades! They always pay special attention to the clothes they are cleaning or pressing for you. So it was not even a consideration that I would take my daughter‘s wedding dress any place else. Kroner did a beautiful of cleaning and preserving it. Professional, experts, and kind they are the best.

I have been using Kroner Dry Cleaners for over 30 years. They are the best in Cincinnati! I did the alterations on my niece’s wedding dress before her June destination wedding. ...
After the destination wedding, she needed the dress cleaned and pressed before she could wear it again at their reception celebration here at home. I knew there was no better cleaners in Cincinnati for the job than Kroner’s. After another small alteration, I contacted Ray Kroner and he assured me they would have plenty of time to clean and press the dress before the big day. The dress turned out beautiful and the bride couldn’t have been happier. Like I said before, Kroner’s is the best dry cleaners in Cincinnati!!

I had originally had Kroner’s preserve my wedding dress 40 years ago and when my daughter opened it, it was beautiful. The years did not take their toll on it. After being used, I ...
wanted to preserve it yet again. I made the mistake and took it to another dry cleaner. That dry cleaner ruined the bodice of my dress. They gave it back to me along with my precious veil, rolled up in plastic bag as though it was garbage. They said “no charge”. I was devastated to say the least. I took my dress and veil to Kroner’s, and they took my dress and removed the melted beads from the bodice and preserved my dress once again. I have complete faith in the entire crew at Kroner’s and will not be taking any of my dry cleaning anywhere else ever again. They know what they are doing plus they are so pleasant and kind. It’s one less stressor in your life. You’re clothes are well taken care of there; and the prices are reasonable also. Thanks for being so trustworthy.
