A Legacy of Innovation & Trust
Meet Bobby Smerling: 50+ Years of Couture Excellence
In an industry defined by convention, Bobby Smerling has been a trailblazer. As the first to introduce CO2 dry cleaning to Los Angeles, Bobby changed how luxury garments are cared for, proving that innovation and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
His expertise spans decades of high-stakes preservation: restoring textiles for the Smithsonian Institution, consulting on collections for the Getty Museum, and caring for the wardrobes of entertainment-industry clients and families across Beverly Hills and Bel Air.
Today, with his wife Maureen, Bobby leads Royal Couture Cleaners with the same precision and passion. Every garment, whether a couture jacket or a priceless family heirloom, receives his personal attention.
Read Bobby's StoryOur Eco Process
Luxury Care That Respects the Planet
It started in the 1990s, when Bobby Smerling became convinced that luxury didn't have to harm the environment. He introduced CO2 dry cleaning to Los Angeles, a technology that was revolutionary then and remains our standard now.
Gentler methods do more than protect the planet. Harsh solvents degrade fabrics over time, while careful, specialist cleaning preserves texture, color and structure, so your finest pieces stay beautiful longer.

Client Reviews
What Our Clients Say
I absolutely love this place. Bob and his team are wonderful and this dry cleaner is a true, rare find. I had purchased a beautiful black dress from a high end Beverly Hills retailer. For some reason, there was an unexplained odor trapped in the garment. I did not notice it in the store but upon first wearing, I could smell it. I took it to my neighborhood dry cleaner twice and yet it still smelled funny. A friend of mine who is a wardrobe stylist suggested I try Royal and after one visit, the odor is gone. I feel like I just bought a new dress.
