American Dry Cleaner

I have a very important interview tomorrow and my one and only suit is being held hostage at this dry cleaner. I never wait last minute but I had no choice. I know it’s MLK day but I explained I NEED this Monday and I was told they would be open and have the suit ready. This situation is causing quite a bad domino effect. I won’t be coming back here I need a more reliable service.

I’ve been coming here for about a year for dry cleaning (usually just dress pants for work). The main woman who’s normally there is always pleasant and friendly. But last week they went above and beyond. I had managed to rip out the hem on a pair of pants. I took them in to be cleaned and figured I’d deal with the hem later. Once I got them home, I realized they repaired the hem – no charge! I hadn’t even mentioned it to them – they just fixed it without saying a word. Great service!

They are amazing! The lady who owns it is so nice and accommodating. I nearly always need my clothing the next day (I’m a last minute person when it comes to dry cleaning) and she always works to make sure I get it. Love this place. Pleasant attitude, good service, I don’t go anywhere else.

As most people have said, the American Dry Cleaner is quick and affordable. My only complaint (and I mean only complaint) is that one time, one of my five shirts I dropped off was actually WORSE than when I originally left it. They clearly tried to get the stain out, however failed and left a big dark circle around where the stain was (imagine pouring water over the stain and the spot not drying). All of my other experiences have been great!

I have nothing but accolades for Anna and her business. Clean, quick, affordable, and high standards for dry cleaning. Also eco-​friendly!

Should have written this a long time ago as I’ve been a loyal customer for 2 years. This place is a solid dry cleaner. They have removed tough stains and always return my clothes in excellent condition. I bring in a lot of delicate fabrics (silk, beading, cashmere) and they take very good care of my items. Anna is very friendly. Support this local small business and you will not be disappointed!

I have been going to American Dry Cleaner for two years — lucky we live close by! It’s the most affordable dry cleaner in the area. I have also gotten pants hemmed here– once the stitching came out and the seamstress quickly fixed it for no charge. I will keep coming back here!

I’m roughly 6 – 7 years overdue in writing this, but this place is simply great. yesterday, Anna (owner) stayed a few minutes late to let me pick-​up my dry-​cleaning. Nothing extraordinary, but she didn’t hesitate and seemed genuinely happy to accommodate me — a small gesture that’s typical here. Reliable, pleasant, and wonderfully nice.

Excellent service, very friendly owners. I go here regularly. I have never had a problem with quality or lateness and the prices are very reasonable. So glad to have this dry cleaner in the neighborhood.

Reasonable prices and great quality work. Extremely nice service as well — even though it took me almost two weeks to pick up my laundry she easily found my clothes and everything looked great!

Poor service. Poor quality. They could not get a pen stain out of my brooks brothers dress shirt (tried twice). Will never go back.

Great place! I’ve been super careful about going to dry cleaners because I know it can cost an arm and a leg. Imagine to my surprise that I found this place through Unilocal.I went on a whim based on the great reviews it has, and it did not disappoint!
The prices are very reasonable. I first came in with two scarves, a sweater, a blazer, and a coat, and all of that cost around $ 50. Just came back again recently with a two-​piece suit for $ 11. It’s also great that they accept credit cards ($ 10 minimum).
The service is also fantastic. Super friendly and helpful. When I came in with my suit in the morning, the woman (I think she’s the head honcho lol) asked me when I needed it. I asked when the earliest possible is, and she said that afternoon. I was pleasantly surprised that they do same day service for no charge! Definitely a must-​go for dry cleaning!

I recently went for the first time and it was great. I had a shirt cleaned and two pairs of jeans hemmed. It was only $ 10 per pair and she did a great job, they were ready on time and looked perfect and were the perfect length. I am going back with more pants to be hemmed this week.

Incredibly reasonable rates, very efficient, love that they take credit cards ($ 10 minimum). Never tried their alterations, can’t speak to that, but good hours and yet another reason I love living in JP!

This review is for alterations:
I took a pair of jeans that needed to be shortened. My pants were done when I requested them… only 4 days. $ 10 for the alteration and to sew the original hem back on. Affordable and convenient!

Bad job with alteration and bad service. I took a very nice pair of pants here to have the hem let out. When I got the pants back, the hems had been let out but the hemming was so tacky, there were a bunch of threads hanging that I had to cut off. Even worse, the crease of the original hem was still clearly there. They made NO attempt to press out the old crease. You would think that a place that does drycleaning would at least run the hem through a press. I mean a pair of pants that looked respectable before resembled badly treated sweat pants! I had to go home and break out my scissors, steamer, and iron. It was my mistake. I know I could have done a better job with hemming tape and my iron. «Live and learn.»
And the service here is poor. The young man who helped me when I went to pick up my pants barely said a word to me. The lady who works there wasn’t any much nicer.
Never going back there for anything.

After reading Unilocal!reviews, I thought I had finally found an affordable, quality tailor. Turns out, I need to keep looking.
I took one pair of cotton dress pants to get hemmed in after I had washed and dried them, and tried them on in the dinky little «dressing room» (read: two curtains that you stand behind. I didn’t really mind that though). The owner (most likely) and I talked about the right length, and she marked one pin on one pant leg and told me I could pick them in a few days.
I picked them up, paid $ 10, went on my way.
Got home, tried the pants on, and while they had been hemmed, they were a full two inches too long still.
So, I took them back in with the first receipt, told her they were too long still. I had to ask to try them on in the dressing room again

This review is only about clothing alterations…
I had a pair of suit pants hemmed here for $ 12. The lady who runs the place was friendly and had the pants done in four days I think? I have since worn them for three separate interviews and they were hemmed to perfection (length, quality, etc.). I will definitely return with future alterations! It’s less than a five minute walk from my apartment, which makes it all the better!

I’m going with a two simply because I agree with the rating description «Meh. I’ve experienced better.»
The prices are reasonable — not cheap (from my experience). And I’ve also experienced problems with some stains when I bring my shirts here. Sometimes they clean them up, sometimes they don’t.
My Main issue with this place is their pressing. I bring cloths to the dry cleaner for two reasons: 1.) stains, 2.) to get that stuff pressed so well the pleat will slice through butter.
My last couple trips, the shirts I picked up were all wrinkled (not like ball on the floor wrinkled, but poorly hung on the hangar so there are lines on the shirt wrinkled). If I have to iron my shirt after I dry clean it, what’s the point?

Quick, reasonably priced, very friendly, and good work. What more could you ask for?
Wool coat dry cleaning– $ 13.
Shirts dry cleaned– $ 1.75
Pants hemmed (girlfriend’s) — $ 10.00 (which she says is a fair price)
Wish I still lived so close to this place, they do a great job.
