Dry Cleaners Serving Houston's Museum District

Houston's Museum District is one of the most culturally vibrant neighborhoods in the American South. Home to 19 museums within a two-mile radius — including the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Menil Collection, and the Children's Museum — the Museum District attracts Houston's art patrons, gallery professionals, medical center staff, and Rice University community alike.

Life in the Museum District moves between world-class galas and everyday elegance. River Oaks Cleaners has been the trusted garment care partner for Houston's cultural community for over 35 years.

Gala Season Stain Rescue

Houston's museum gala season is relentless — MFAH, Houston Symphony, Houston Ballet, Houston Grand Opera, and dozens of benefit events fill the calendar from September through May. If a spill happens at a black-tie event, bring it to us promptly. The sooner a stain is treated, the better the outcome.

We specialize in:

• Red wine on silk and satin — Houston's most common gala emergency
• Champagne and prosecco stains — Tannins set quickly; professional treatment removes them
• Foundation makeup on collar and neckline — Protein and oil-based stains require enzyme treatment
• Candle wax — A Museum District candlelit dinner hazard
• Food and oil stains on formal wear — Catering events are a fabric's greatest challenge
