Dry Cleaning in Madrid
Anyone who has spent any significant time in Madrid knows that some things are rather difficult. Finding people who speak English, getting fresh vegetables at a mid-range restaurant, and laundry. I spent a few days looking for a dry cleaner before I finally popped my head into a hotel and asked the concierge. He pointed me in the direction of Plaza de Espana where I live and helped me find a cleaner on Calle de los Reyes. From the Plaza de Espana metro, turn your back on the fountains and move NE up c/ de los Reyes. It will be on your right about 40 meters up the street.

el corte inglés also has dry cleaning service in their shops.
actually, there´s not much you CAN´T do/ buy there.
they also provide you with a free interpreter to help clarify doubts when shopping.
Get REnfe tickets FAST for a service fee of about 6 euros/per BOOKING, not person.( this info may be old)

While I appreciate the helpful spirit of the posting by Prince T., I don't understand what his problem is. He has a computer, so why not switch Google to Advanced > Language: Spanish, input
Madrid tintoreria
and take your pick from the many that pop up - ten different ones come up with the map and location markers for each, and many more are listed below that.

- how hard can it be to figure out which Spanish word to search for on Google?

You are mixing apples and pineapples; laundry and dry-cleaning are two different things.
Laundry uses water + detergent to clean clothes while dry-cleaning uses a dry chemical process to clean without damage that can be caused by water and detergent.
What exactly were you looking for? In Madrid, there are dry-cleaners at dime/dozen. Laundry Facilities?...well that is another story....
