Buenos días:
I know that a dry cleaners is a tintorería, but I can't find a corresponding verb. So how would you tell the tintorera that I would like these shirts dry-cleaned.
Thanks in advance

Use limpiar en seco for the verb.

I'd say lavar en seco, but that might be strictly Mexican usage, I don't know.

Yes, you can say Lavar en seco. As David said before, and well this verb is a Mexican usage of us.

Es correcto decir ''lavar en seco, pero más bien la tendencia es a emplear el sustantivo:
limpieza en seco / lavado en seco.
