Hello,

I'm here in BA, and I need to get my some of my clothes washed. I've been told the place to have this done is called a Lava Ropa

Are Lava Ropas dry cleaners? (I.e., they are NOT washing the clothes in water.) Or are they the equivalent of a laundry mat where they wash the clothes for you (in water)?
 
Lava means wash. Sec means dry.

You can see the washing machines in the small storefronts (lavadarias) that wash clothes.

Check out the posts in the thread "Laundry? 5 a sec" and you should have all the info you need.
 
Lavadero / Lavanderia = Regular clothes washing with water

Tintoreria / Limpieza a Seco = Dry cleaners
 
Thanks to nikita for adding the word "tintoreria" to the topic.

I don't use them very often and the term had been archived to a brain cell that is rarely accessed.
