Martinizing Dry Cleaning

They do a great job taking stains out. I have a very delicate blazer blouse that I manage to stain every time I wear it. I always bring it in and looks like new.

Great prices, and friendly service, but I have one complaint. THEY DO NOT OPEN AT 7:00 like their sign says. It wouldn’t bug me so much, but I drive past them every day at 7:25, after dropping my son off at school. Maybe one out of every three times they have been open.
I ask them why they don’t change the sign, and they say, «Oh, no there is just traffic sometimes.» The same thing happened the one Saturday I tried to go – sign says 8:00, no one there at 8:30.
Again, the prices are reasonable, but don’t believe their hours of operation.

Competitively priced and pleasant service. They will also rush jobs for you if that is needed. If this place is convenient, you might as well use it. Beware, though, that parking can be difficult when pre-​school parents are dropping their kids off next door in the morning. Otherwise, meters in front usually available.

I had a good experience, they were fast too. A black pin stripped, solid black and even a white suit, they all looked sharp. Thanks!

No other dry cleaner/​laundry has ever done such good work for me, especially on my custom-​made shirts. I require heavy starch on most of my shirts and many laundries don’t know how to do that. Their dry cleaning is also excellent.
They don’t use staples or tags; instead my name is marked in indelible ink on the inside of one of the front plackets. The sleeve plackets are also pressed – a detail that many other laundries overlook. They don’t break buttons very often, either. And they don’t use scented starch, as some other One-​Hour franchises do.
The front desk staff is always polite and efficient.
Now about their prices: for shirts, half of what you would pay at Virginia Cleaners; for dry cleaning, about average.
I’m grateful for their good work.

Yeah … So I have gone here for a while and they were ok and decently priced but never gave me good customer service. They recently lost 2 pairs of my slacks… I am done with this.

good people here. i had several pants hemmed here for 10 bucks. jackets altered etc. dry cleaning fine. nice lady. i will go back more.

This place was cool until I came here one day to get my clothes and they weren’t ready on time. Then I saw them rushing to scrub the collar of my shirts when I got there and «febrezzing» them. I was hot. Then they offered me a 10% discount for my inconvenience. WOW! A $ 2.14 discount!!! If I was the owner I would have dry cleaned the clothes on the house for the clothes not being ready on time. It’s good though. I’ll never go there again.

I dont understand the bad review here, I have been a customer of this store for about 3 years now, and I love what they have done for my clothes. They always get out all the stains and when there is a problem like a lost shirt, they work their hardest to try to find a replacement and if they cant, they will repay you the price of the shirt which has only happened once in the past 3 years. So its a pretty much a good deal, I get a brand new shirt! They get things done pretty quickly. Ive tried many places but none gets the job done like they do, stain-​free, prices reasonable, no wrinkles and in a timely manner.

This business SAVED the day for my last minute husband! Finding his seldom-​warn black suit in need of a pressing/​cleaning, and having to grab a plane for a relative’s funeral at 5 am the following day; he searched the Yellow Pagers for a one hour Martinizing Cleaners. VOILA! This one did the work within the time promised and even sewed on a missing button. Two pairs of pants, the 2 piece suit and sewing. all for $ 19 bucks! YAYYYYY! We are very pleased and grateful for this amazing service. We are believers! Thank you, One Hour Martinizing!!!

I am speechless over what this establishment did to my dress shirts. When I moved to Berkeley this summer, I brought in over two dozen dress shirts for laundering.
When I got the shirts back, every single one of them had the paper tag *stapled* directly to the shirt, rather than threaded through a buttonhole, the way dry cleaners have been doing it since, oh, the pleistocene epoch. They stapled through tags, and when they couldn’t find a tag, they stapled directly through the fabric of perfectly good linen, cotton, and woven silk dress shirts.
Stapling through a tag is bad enough: I had to spend over an hour removing more than 50 of the confounded things, since the staples were so scratchy. But what’s unforgivable is stapling directly through fabric, leaving staple holes behind. How can their supplier not provide tags that can be threaded through buttonholes? What did they save, like a tenth of a cent per shirt?
In some cases the staples — two per shirt — were thankfully hidden under the collar, but in the rest the staples were actually visible when the shirt was worn. What were they thinking? And in the pièce de resistance, they actually wrote on the interior of two shirts in permanent marker. A lovely keepsake of their service, I suppose. I’ve added a photo to document all this. If it’s not visible on this page, you can see it at:
Never. Again.

These folks are great. I go to them for dry-​cleaning and alterations and they’ve done nothing but great affordable work.
Alterations on jeans within two days and at a price that could not be beat anywhere.
They use a non-​chemical cleaning process that never leaves a nasty smell and is very reasonably priced.
The bonus… the staff are friendly and honest.

This is my first Unilocal Review:
I went there once. It took 3 days for my suit jacket, slacks, and dress shirts to be cleaned. They were returned in better condition than when I dropped them off. They do not smell like cleaning chemicals which is a problem that I have found at many dry cleaners. The cleaners were able to get out a massive root beer stain (14″ x 4″) on my seer sucker suit jacket. It cost $ 5 per item. They were unable to completely remove the mustard stain from my black dress shirt. I will continue to give this establishment my business.

I’ve been to various cleaners and I always come back, even though I live in Oakland. I come back because their prices are reasonable, quick and know me by name after a 3 visits.

I have only been there once, and maybe this is a once-​in-​a-​lifetime experience, but I really wish they didn’t «lose» my brand new Armani Exchange shirt. Who loses a shirt? And doesn’t offer to pay for it?
The weird thing is how they handled it: I came in to pick the shirt up, the man goes back to look for it. And never comes back out. Three, four people come in and we are all waiting. Finally a woman comes out, and vaguely says the man is looking for it. After 20 minutes I had to f ask them to call me tomorrow when they found it. They never called. When I called them, the man eventually says he’s «looked all night and hasn’t found it up until now.» «So did you find it?» «No.»
I’m waiting to hear an apology, and offer of replacing the cost of the shirt… nothing. I finally had to ask him directly to send me a check for the shirt ($ 64), to which he agreed. Said he would put it in the mail the next day. It’s been 4 days… no check yet.
Bad experience: evasive, and costumer service that left a real bad taste in my mouth. I wouldn’t recommend bringing them anything that you care about: you may not see it again.
Oh, and another thing: They mentioned they were working «to get a stain out of the back» of the shirt. Problem is, the shirt didn’t come to their store with a stain.

I have taken my pants to get altered and they returned them to me promptly. The staff is very friendly and even paid for my meter in front of the store when I parked so I would not get a ticket.

My clothes come back clean. So that’s worth a few stars.
But they smell like chemical solvents. Minus many stars.
The worst part… they advertise that they are an «all natural» cleaner, but I would be willing to bet my life that they’re not.
The prices are considerably cheaper than other legit eco-​friendly cleaners that I’ve gone to in the past, but I just can’t get past the chemicals. And neither can my skin. I broke out in a crazy rash after wearing a shirt that got cleaned there.
Buyer beware…

The people here are friendly and honest. I got a variety of items dry cleaned; the prices were reasonable. My favorite aspect of doing business with them is that they reveal how much each item costs, and write the total on your number, so there are no surprises.

They’ve done a really good job on stain removal for me. And I’m generally a pig, so I have a lot of stains to cope with.

These folks are great. I go to them for dry-​cleaning and alterations.
Most importantly, they’ve never lost/​misplaced any of my clothes.
My stuff is always cleaned/​altered and returned right away. The gals that help me are friendly and honest, i.e., esp. if a stain will not come out … darn that Red Wine, lol. And they’ll always ask when you’d like your stuff back & they’ll write the $total on your pick-​up ticket (no surprises).
(I use them so much, every other month I’ll return a bunch of their hangers to them)
