A Plus Cleaners

I’ve been here a couple of times now for dry cleaning and have been very happy. Decent prices and friendly service. My garments are always ready when they say they will be. I don’t get the reviews about not being able to communicate – sure, English isn’t their native language but I’ve never had any trouble understanding or being understood here.

I recently moved to Boston and Beacon Hill, and wanted to find a dry cleaners I could go to 1 – 3 times per month for basic men’s shirt laundry and dry cleaning.
I called around, and A Plus was the cheapest shirt laundry for $ 2.15/shirt. (Other locations were $ 2.25 — $ 2.50, so not a huge difference.) Because they’re not on Charles Street, I wonder if they’re less busy and have faster turnaround times, but I’m not sure yet.
There was a cute old lady sitting on a stool folding laundry (they have wash and fold; see picture for prices). She was pleasant, took my order, and I left. I came in on a Monday at 10:30am, which was too late for next day service (I didn’t expect next day, though I did ask), so I’ll pick up on Thursday and hope to post an update once I get my stuff back. Just 8 men’s shirts, 2 slacks, 1 dress, and 1 skirt.
As you can note from my pictures:
— Credit cards are accepted, minimum purchase is $ 15.00
— Open on Saturdays, 8am — 5pm (some locations in Beacon Hill are only Monday — Friday)
— Open 7am — 7pm Mondays through Fridays (I like having later hours)
— See pictures for pricing list
Personally, my brief experience dropping off was great. Note that I DON’T take expensive clothing to a place like this. But I’m happy to have regular men’s shirts and women’s clothes (all under $ 50 each) cleaned at a basic dry cleaners. Keep your expectations realistic, people! If you don’t want fancy stuff getting ruined, take it to a fancy dry cleaners. A Plus is my kind of place when it comes to cheap dry cleaning.

It’s cheap, it’s fast, it’s good.
We dropped off about nine pounds of laundry at 1pm on Wednesday. Our laundry was ready to go at 10am Thursday. It was really inexpensive, only $ 12.50. She was polite, and the transaction went exactly how I expected it to go. Our clothes were returned to us nicely folded, in plastic.
She also does dry-​cleaning services, if you’re interested, but not sure about the cost or time.

A Plus cleaners are inexpensive, dependable and fast. I’ve used them both for cleaning and tailoring and have been satisfied with the results. The staff are very nice. English is not their first language but I have not had trouble communicating with them. I believe they do the tailoring on-​site, which makes for faster turn-​around times.

Some of the reviewers of this place are downright rude. Particularly the ones who talk about the staff who don’t speak English as a first language.
The staff here is SO NICE. I was using this place for wash/​dry/​fold for two years while I lived on Hancock Street and now I’m in LA and there’s NOTHING LIKE THIS around. It sucks so count your blessings before you leave 1 star.
The laundry service is great. Try it at least once and see for yourself. Price can’t be beat for the convenience and the staff is sweet as pie.
Just speak slowly, be NICE, and understand that Vietnamese and English are very different. I doubt any of the haters on here have ever lived in a country where they didn’t speak the language.

Was staying down the street for a couple days. Went to have my clothes washed and folded. Three shirts, a sweatshirt, and pants came back Steiner with what looked like red coolaid. Dont trust with your clothes. Two stars because they didn’t dry and shrink my jeans but gave them special care.

Beware this place ruined 6 of my shirts. I was told the machine was broken and could I come back the following day. I returned the following day to be told that ALL of my shirts have been burnt. I wouldn’t trust them with your clothes. The owner is only offering to pay $ 20.00 dollars per shirt. That doesn’t even buy a new shirt.

I dropped some dry cleaning off and I lucked out because the person working here that day spoke English. I came back on Tuesday to pick up the clothes but the lady there didn’t speak English and I couldn’t understand what she was saying so it was frustrating to have to come back another time and find that they still didn’t have anyone there who spoke English.
I came back on Thursday to pick up my clothes only to find out that it was delayed until Friday. It was a mild annoyance but I did not need the items urgently so it was ok. I picked them up on Friday and I was able to get the clothes. They were clean and folded well. I’ve given them an extra star for price because it was inexpensive but the delay was quite tiresome. It’s a tiny place and in the basement so it can be a little hard to find. They are open early and close late so that’s a definite plus considering that it’s in Beacon Hill.

These people are mediocre at best. They don’t have good quality control on removing stains and don’t really seem to care.
If I am going to pay to have something dry cleaned, I shouldn’t have to be quality control and send it back when there are large obvious stains still there. I also don’t think it’s right that I have to pay for dry cleaning when they can’t remove the stain.
They also have a tendency to break shirt buttons (which I have to point out) and don’t do that good a job on pressing shirts (again, bad QC and general indifference).
I’ve been a customer for about a year and have been gradually worn down by their indifference and am now done. They have lost me as a customer for good. Not sure where I’m going yet, but definitely somewhere else.

Be prepared for some communication problems if the people who know English are not here. There seems to be two groups of people who work in the store– English speaking and those who don’t. While I could really hold that against them for customer service I only care about my clothes. When i get things done there I know they will be done quickly, correctly, and not smelling of really strong chemicals. I have to admit that I am the worst person when it comes to picking up something once it has been dropped off, as long as there is not urgency for me to use it. For example… I dropped off two dresses here in late October and just picked them up… in May. They were summer dresses and I clearly did not need them in there tundra that is Boston and so I easily forgot about them. Luckily! They still had them. I have to admit that if they got rid of them I would not have questioned it since it was over 6 months.
So go here if you like good dry cleaning at a great price (dresses are $ 10). English not guaranteed.

Great job. This place is practically hidden, and super tiny, but that doesn’t take away from the quality of work done. I’ve been going here for my dry-​cleaning needs for a couple of months now, and definitely have no complaints. They are much cheaper than most places, conveniently located to anyone in the State House area, and have great business hours.

This is the only place I use for dry cleaning and laundry. I’ve never had a problem and the prices are fair – the English language issue can sometimes come up but the people are sweet and they work hard to make sure things are done right. Great hours too.

Price is good, but I got a pair of pants back with a couple of holes at the bottom. Pretty positive they weren’t there when I brought them in. I haven’t taken them back yet to see if they can fix them or reimburse me.

My only dry-cleaner…The woman here is excellent w/​hems. Located right behind the State House and open later than most — weekdays until 7pm. For females, most items are $ 4.

doesn’t look like much, but it is surprisingly efficient, and cheaper than Zoots! My shout out goes to the little woman who was there to do an emergency hem on my new suit pants 2 hours before a flight to Michigan for a wedding. She saved my be-​hind. If you live near the statehouse, check out this little garden level place right behind it, you will be glad that you did!
