Island Plaza Cleaners

I LOVE this place! Starting my new job I was concerned about how I was going to keep my work attire super fresh and clean since I was so used to just doing my own laundry. I had tried Zips and was extremely disappointed, they couldn’t even clean my Armani Exchange T-​shirts I had brought them. So going to any cleaners, I was a bit skeptical. I found these guys on Unilocal!And have gone every week ever since!
First off, you are greeted by Oscar who seems to have never seen a bad day in his life! He is so please tell and cheerful, always puts a smile on my face. The customer service is wonderful. I had brought them a dress that was black and white and I had smeared mascara all over the white portion. They saved my dress!!! The same with all my fancy blazers and blouses. For the quality work they do and the amazing customer service it is worth every penny!
I want to thank Oscar and everyone at Island Plaza Cleaners for keeping me one of the best dressed in the office!

I used this place to prep my clothes for an interview after trying to decide on the best cleaners to go to, I got the job!

Went in with 8 items — a men’s dress shirt, 2 silk blouses, 2 cashmere sweaters, one alpaca wool sweater, a pair of dress pants, and another blouse. Prices seemed reasonable and turnaround time was good (3 days).
The blouses and pants came back fine, nothing special, and the cashmere was perfect and super soft.
The men’s shirt came back with a stain and covered in black/​grey fuzz on a white shirt. I ended up just getting it out with OxyClean in the wash at home, since this was the most urgent need of the bunch.
The alpaca sweater was ruined beyond repair. What had been a tunic-​length sweater was shrunken to a high-​low sweater, from a M/​L to an XS size. The texture is odd (felted) as well. I feel like I could have put the «dry clean only» sweater through the wash at home and had it turn out better. Extremely disappointing as this was a $ 115 sweater I intended to take good care of.

Will come here quite often!
I’ve never been so fascinated with a laundromat in my life!
The staff was very sweet and friendly, the place was so clean and organized, the washer and dryer machines definitely worked well.
The only thing is, it can be kinda crowded before 9 pm. Its a good thing I’m a night owl so I will be coming here 2 hours before closing lol.

My first time putting my clothing in the cleaners they were very nice and helpful. They got the stains out of my trench coats and cleaned my blazers. I haven’t thoroughly examined my items yet, but the customer service was on point!

I’ve used several dry cleaners in the area, but never did my clothes come up looking nicer than when I took it here. The staff were very nice and I could see that they paid attention to detail. Definitely will be back!

Quality work and great customer service every time. They are always happy to answer questions or concerns I have. Thank you Oscar for being awesome at what you do.

4 shirts, 1 pants. ~20 bucks.
Wait wait, let me explain. It was the pants that did it for me that I’m glad the Unilocal community contributed reviews to this place. I needed an adjustment in the crotch (go ahead and giggle) area, which sagged ridiculously low for attire from Zara. It needed adjustment, and proper. The product of work I received in return here at Island Plaza Cleaners, for a moderate price, was exceptional, and better than any tailoring I’ve received, ever.
As for my shirts, I received them washed and pressed, one of two options which include dry cleaning. They were also exceptionally done, comparable to dry cleaning. If you have a business meeting, you will not fail to impress with the work coming from Island Plaza Cleaners.
Highly recommend to all in the College Park, MD area. The customer service alone will charm you and leave you in a better mood because of their commitment to quality in their service.

It was a cold Wednesday afternoon when my girlfriend threw two dresses, a sweater, and a coat to me and said: «Help me find a place to clean these, pleeeeaaase~» Knowing the high standards she demanded, I went on Unilocal trying to accomplish the seemingly impossible mission. With all the wonderful reviews on this place, I said to myself: «Why not.» I was actually worried when I was told to pick them up in two days with a quote under $ 40.
Two days later, my girlfriend came with me to pick her clothes up. «This was the place you found? It doesn’t look very good from the outside…» She doubted. However, the moment she got her clothes back, I could tell she was amazed: «Wow! They look like new!» «Never doubt your man again.» We left this place with laughters and absolute satisfactions.
Mission accomplished. Perfectly.
Aww… I just miss this hidden gem. SERIOUSLY!

I haven’t picked up my clothes yet, but the customer service alone has earned them a 5 STAR rating. The service, for a first time picky customer was superb!!! They were attentive to detail and flexible to customer request… I will update my review once I pick my clothes up. But if their service is anything like their customer service… I know i’m in for a treat… I got two skirts altered, two blouses and two men shirts dry cleaned. and all for the wonderful price of $ 34.50… you can’t beat that!!!

Excellent cleaner! I was so pleased with the cleaning results of my white suit, price and friendly customer service. As the result of recommendations from Unilocal,I took my dress white suit with pearls, rhinestones and embroidery, that had yellowed from being uncovered in the closet for 7 years, to the cleaner on Friday afternoon and was told to pick it up the following Monday. They told me not to expect dramatic results, especially because of the blue ink stain on the sleeve and hair oil stain around the collard. To my amazement, when I went to pick it up on Monday it looked like new. The embroidery, pearls and rhinestones on the suit were all in place and it was dramatically cleaner. The cost was $ 8. My white suit was restored to new. I highly recommend this cleaner and will be back!

The other 5 star reviews here are not just mere exaggeration. This is an excellent business. Superb service and great results with various stains, etc. The young man at the counter is very friendly, gives great advice and knows his business. On top of all that, the prices are very reasonable. This place has it all. Would not go anywhere else.

My first visit here was out of convenience — visited the Caribbean grocery in the same strip mall and happened to have a coat in my car that needed a stain removed. They did a great job with the coat, even taking care to wrap all the buttons in foil so the cleaning chemicals wouldn’t damage them. Since then, I’ve had them clean blouses, dresses, cashmere sweaters, and even clothing with delicate beadwork and embroidery. I have also had minor alterations done here, such as stiching up a tear in a seam or an unraveled hem. I am always very pleased with their fast and professional service, low prices, and the quality of their work. Also, the man who is usually at the front counter is very friendly and takes enough time to talk to you about the item of clothing, fabric, types of stains, and the options for cleaning. Their customer service really stands out above most other dry cleaners I’ve been to in the DC or MD area.

So far, so good.
I heard about this place on Unilocal and it got some very good reviews so I decided to check it out after the other cleaners I was going to started to slack off on the job and take a long time between drop off and pick up.
My main concern has to do with spots. I’m a little bit of a spiller and I get spots on my shirts and sports coats. These are custom made clothes because I’m a bit on the circumferrentially challenged side of things (read: fat)
I need the spots to come out. So, I took a sportcoat in and they got the spot out. I now have some shirts in with one that had spots in it when I took it to the other cleaners. if they get those out, I’ll be a raving fan.
The other thing I’m liking about this place is that they’re quick. I put my sport coat and slacks in on a Wednesday and they said it would be ready of Friday. Ditto my shirts. In on Saturday, ready by Tuesday. I like that. Waiting a week for shirts is a no-​go.
I plan to update this review from time to time (especially when I get my shirts back). It’s hard to find a decent cleaners that are:
a) reasonably priced (this one is)
b) competent (so far this one is)
c) quick (this one is)
d) friendly (this one is big time friendly)
e) close enough to home to make the trip worthwhile (this one is a tad far but worth it)
So, I’ll get on the five star bandwagon.

After being very disappointed by some other cleaners in the area, I gave Island Plaza a try. The guy who is always at the counter when I come in is super friendly and seems to know a lot about his business. You can choose to pay at pickup or drop-​off, and they’re reasonably fast. I’ve had no problems with dry cleaning on coats or shirts. Their prices are decent as well. They did a great job cleaning a wool coat of mine and did it for about a third the price i’ve paid other places to do a lesser or equal job.

I stumbled upon Island Cleaners a few weeks ago because it sits in a familiar strip mall that I often pass by. After realizing that Zips Cleaners doesn’t do well with garments that require special attention, I was on the lookout for a dry cleaners I could depend on. Having no recommendations to go on, I decided to take a chance. The first garment they cleaned was a pair of pants with a tough oil & dirt stain at the bottom pant leg. Island Cleaners paid special attention to the stain and did what I consider to be a stellar job, removing it completely. The next time I wore the pants, they felt good — whatever methods they use really work. Not to mention, their customer services is professional and very personable. Their prices are quite affordable — they cleaned two pairs of pants and the total was around $ 6 and the cost for cleaning my rain coat is around $ 6. Since that first time I walked through the door, I’ve been back three additional times and will continue to rely on Island Cleaners for my dry cleaning needs.
