There's a very good dry cleaners open at Azbuka Vkusa at Sadovaya-Triumfalnaya. It's called Contrast - and it's a chain. It might be a bit expensive, but they have a whole system of discounts (I already earned a 10%), but always superior quality and service. I used Diana long ago but was very disappointed, so, frankly speaking, I wouldn't recommend it. Contrast do all sorts of things - they also clean coats, pillows, blankets. And they do delivery though I never tried that. Try www.contrast-cleaners.ru for more details.
Good luck!
