I really don't have anything that needs cleaning.

Maybe you pooped in your underwear from the accident?

Make sure you launder your money and pay him in cash up front. He may be a little hot under the collar, but the sight of crisp green one dollar bills should take the starch out of him. Soft soap him at first, and then see if that son of a bleach won't accept your offer. Try some off the cuff remarks to see what he will settle for. There is always a new wrinkle you can try to turn the Tide.

Did you soil something during the fender bender?
I think he is just looking to take care of your cleaning bill.
What a nice guy.
Maybe you could have him over for dinner for offering to pay for your cleaning as a thank-you.

Cleaners are the new social hang outs. They are cleaner than bars, and everyone's problems wash away in the rinse. Cheer up. It will pass with the Tide. Soon he will Wisk you away to an automat to eat.

Maybe he noticed that your collars weren't starched well enough?
Just kidding - some people are just out for a free buck at anyone's expense. Hopefully, you had car insurance. If so, he can only make a claim against your insurance company (unless he was REALLY REALLY hurt and your coverage doesn't cover his medical expenses).
I wouldn't sweat it - your insurance companies have better lawyers than this guy could ever afford.

That's an expression, it means he is going to take your money to pay for it. He's going to clean you out of your money so that's why he said he will take you to the cleaners.

The expression "take you to the cleaners" implies the the person plans to sue you for every thing they can get out of you. I Hope you have adequate insurance coverage.

He's going to take you for everything you got. He's going to clean you out of your money and then some. It must have been your fault

Probably a bit of road-rage.
He can only recover authorized damages.
Just let the insurance company deal with him.
I hope you have witnesses and a bit of good luck.

"Take someone to the cleaners" is a phrase, used alot in the UK, that is pretty much equivalent to "Take someone for eveything they've got". He means he's going to go as far as it takes to make sure you pay for you've done (or at least, for what he thinks you've done), and possily to make you pay more than what you should.

I would just tell him to talk to your insurance company. They will be happy to deal with a little money grabbing jerk like him.
If you insurance is aware of what he said, they should be able to handle it quite nicely.
Then walk away smiling and wish him a pleasant day.
