Bigelow Cleaners

Bigelow Cleaners advertises quotes. I requested one but never received it. I still love the big neon sign though. :-)

The guys at Bigelow are the sweetest. It is a family run business and they are willing to go above and beyond to make any accommodations. We need a dress fixed last minute for a wedding and they fixed it while we waited. Highly recommend!

For years my husband has been searching for a good dry cleaner. He would try one for awhile, then another, then another. Always disappointed. Since he found John and Peter at Bigelow, he has been thrilled. They do an awesome job on his shirts, ties and suits. He decided to have them clean 3 seat cushions off our large sectional couch. (I am a bit of a slob, and these three cushions are where I usually plop down with my stuff, food, etc). They were at least two shades darker than the rest of the ivory couch. Bigelow did a phenomenal job, so much so, that now the rest of the couch looks a little dirty in comparison! These guys are miracle workers.

Wonderful family owned and operated dry cleaners which is a landmark in Newton Center. John and Peter are friendly, helpful and both wonderful gentleman who do a great job with everything from cleaning to tailoring. Highly recommended.

i have gone to Bigelow for 23 years and will continue to for a reason — they are such nice people and do a FANTASTIC job. I once had red wine spilled on a white linen jacket. i took it there the next day suspecting that they would not be able to get out the huge stain. They go all of it out and you would never know there had been a stain! My family calls John a magician as he pretty much can get out all of our stubborn stains. I rely on them for laundry and for tailoring.

Best place ever to get your clothing dry cleaned or tailored. Such nice people and will do anything possible to make sure u get the best result for your items. They are more than perfect!

Would honestly say this place is AMAZING! The owners are super nice and my dress for prom came out looking beautiful, it was a very difficult dress to work on given the material was extremely delicate silk from Roberto cavalli and he took extreme care of it and adjusted my dress really well!!! Best place ever!

My «dry clean only» sweater was returned to me 2 sizes bigger and basically unwearable. The owner (I assume) was completely dismissive and rude. Took no responsibility for ruining this garment. Offered me a coupon for some free dry cleaning. ?? I would not recommend this dry cleaner.

This was the most horrible experience with a tailor. My sister was graduating high school and had several functions and she ordered some dresses online and unfortunately the zippers had an issue. I called the folks and they said because of the time frame the best thing to do is to go to a tailor and they would reimburse me and I agreed because we did not have time. I did that I work in Newton Centre and dropping it off here was the ideal thing to do. I went in I explained to the owner that it was hard to zip and he said he will try to fix it and he said it would be ready in a couple weeks and I said no I need it in a couple days so he said he will accomodate me. I came the next day just to check on what he thinks he may do to fix it and what the problem was and when it would be done he said, «don’t worry I will do it and it will be done by Friday» with a brusing off tone but I didn’t strees it because I thought they were professionals. Then I picked it up Friday after work and the afternoon before the graduation day, Saturday, my sister says it couldn’t zip and noticed nothing was done at all I’m not a professional but I can tell because the zipper was still in the same condition as before and a tad bit worse actually. I took it to another tailor for an opinion closer to where I live and he said that I was bamboozzled and since it is last minute he will fix it for me by the end of that day because he felt bad for me. I called Bigelow the owner or whomever brushed me off. I then drove there he denied everything he said he never said he would replace the zipper he just unstiched and stiched back when clearly it was a zipper problem not a stiching problem and as a professional you would know that. I called the other tailor and had him speak to the tailor at Bigelow and of course he says that he never said he would replace the zipper but why wouldn’t you the ZIPPER IS BROKEN AND DOES NOT WORK!!! Anywho all the arguing and discussing he did not budge and offeren anything to me I lost $ 40.00 and he provided no service and then spent another $ 40 for another tailor to actually fix the zippers and he did and he stayed there late until 10pm to finish them for me Mr Brown and sons in Dorchester awesome awesome tailors been there for 37 years! I am a Christian and I am taught to turn the other cheek and let it go and not disrespect anyone and so that is why I will not take to small claims or even beg for my money $ 40 isn’t worth it, «you reap what you sow» that is all I have to say about that. Do not go there I have been told by other people that live in that area that the owner is an a**hole excuse my language but now I know I wish I knew that before.

Bigelow Cleaners is owned by Greek family who’ve been in the dry cleaning business for many years. I’ve always had a good experience with them, and especially with the pre-​christmas buffet they set out each year before christmas.
I wish I had some colorful stories to relate about Bigelow Cleaners, but I don’t because the garments have always come back clean, well pressed and nicely packaged.

They were so sweet about me losing my ticket but I was not happy at all with the job they did patching up my jeans

I have been using the services of Bigelow Cleaners for over 2 years. They treat me like am a VIP customer. They are always on time. The quality of their services is great. Highly Recommend!

Man oh man do I wish I read the reviews first… ugh. $ 40 to dry clean two cocktail-​length dresses and a pair of dress pants. YUCK. Maybe I’m spoiled by my shops in good ol’ Medfa and the «Ville, but that just seems outrageous. It would be one thing if they showered you with smiles and pleasantries from behind the counter when you walked in the door, but the experience is far from it. The older gentlemen who was at the counter when I arrived very blankly accepted my garments, scribbled out a slip and said «ready on Monday, ok?»…not even a «good morning, how are you doing today»…and he didn’t even list the prices on the slip! I had to ask what I’d be paying at pick up. A whopping $ 40 for three items… and they aren’t even stained! Just in need of some ol’ fashioned refreshing. Sheesh. I’ll be looking elsewhere for dry cleaning services next time. Two stars just for the convenience of being in Newton Center, and it’s not even that convenient — parking can be a little hairy ’round the Center!

I’ve been a customer for 3 years and they are always fast and professional with courteous people. Highly recommended for everyone, you won’t be disappointed!

I brought my favorite college sweatshirt here to be cleaned. I used to work in a daycare and I had leaned up against some silly putty/​slime that one of kids had smeared against the wall. I had tried cleaning it myself without luck. They did an excellent job in getting rid of it. It’s now just like new.
I’ve also brought my suits here to be dry cleaned, they’ve always done an excellent job.

I brought a $ 300 shirt to them hoping that their good reputation would ensure excellent care. The shirt had white silk details on the collar, cuffs, and front of the shirt. After cleaning it, they had ruined the silk, making it yellow. I asked if they could fix it. They said they could not, and dismissively offered me a $ 25 dollar gift certificate in return. Really? I was offended at their attitude, lack of care, and surprised by how unwilling to compensate me they were.
I’m never bringing them another article of clothing, and if you value your clothes, I suggest you do the same.
Frankly, I’m tempted to bring them to small-​claims court.

Note, this is at 215 Sumner Street, in Newton Centre, not Summer Street
I’ve gone here a few times now for getting pants hemmed. This is the kind of place to take your expensive clothes to get altered, but don’t bother with your cheapy clothes. Hemming a pair of pants runs $ 22. Yes, twenty-​two dollars. They’ll keep the original hem on jeans, same price $ 22. But the price is worth it– they do a fantastic job and are very friendly.
Last time I was there, a woman was $ 3 short in cash for her bill. They told her not to bother going to get more cash or using a credit card– wow! When was the last time you saw that?
Also, I recently took 3 pairs of pants to get hemmed. One pair was returned to me still too long. I took them back and they fixed them *keeping the original hem* free of charge within a couple of days.
A little pricey, but worth it for good quality and service.

They do an awesome job with dry cleaning and I get all of my tailoring done here. I think its pretty reasonably priced. I get my comforter cleaned here too. GREAT FOR: dry cleaning.
