Happy Cleaners

These people are friendly and they clean my clothes properly. They pick and deliver. They have never lost anything.

I seriously don’t understand the positive reviews about this place. New to the neighborhood but not to wash and fold service, I took my laundry here. Pretty basic instructions — this bag is regular wash and dry, this bag is delicates/​cold water wash and hang dry. The woman gives me a little bit of a hard time about my request for her to hang try a few delicate and technical items that would be ruined in the dryer, but ultimately agrees — with an extra $ 15 charge for that bag. Fine. This is on a Friday afternoon and she says the laundry will be done by Monday evening. Life gets busy and it isn’t until the following Thursday that I get around to going to pick up my laundry. The bags are ready to go when I get there and I think, how nice of her to have folded my hang dry items — in the past, they have been sent home with me on the hangers. The bag is inordinately heavy on my way home, and I think to myself that I need to incorporate more strength training into my workout routine. When I go to put the clothes away at home, I realize why the bag is so heavy — THE CLOTHES ARE ALL STILL DAMP. And not just a little damp. Like, pretty damp. Oh and they smelled really nice from apparently being folded while damp sometime before Monday evening and then sitting there in the bag for 4 days. And by «really nice» I mean they smelled like mildew and also weirdly like they hadn’t been washed at all. The items from the regular wash and dry bag didn’t smell particularly clean either. So thrilled to have paid extra money to have to rewash half of my laundry myself twice to get the mildew smell out of the clothes. Needless to say, happy cleaners left me the opposite of happy.

I don’t dry clean a lot of things, but this place is A-​OK with me. The lady behind the counter has always been pleasant and remembers our family name. We don’t go there often (most of my clothes are wash and wear), but when we do, we are pleased. I have never used their laundry service (we have our own w/​d). I recommend their dry cleaning and ironing services. We cross Atlantic Avenue from Clinton Hill to use their services. I have had bad experiences with dry cleaners closer to my home. Price wise they are competitive.

Been coming here for several months and have never had a real reason to complain. The lady at the front counter most days is cheerful and often remembers which bag is mine which is sweet.
Fine prices.
My only wish is that the delivery system was more organized. I’ve tried a couple times to have my laundry delivered, but to be honest it is just much easier to go pick it up than try to coordinate a delivery. Plus is makes me feel less lazy.

Terrible. If you want your clothes intact and relatively «clean», it would be better not to wash them at all than to take them to «Happy» Cleaners.
Having a broken foot, I requested pick-​up/​delivery only to be forgotten. The woman working was very kind but definitely gave an air of «my mind’s on everything but providing a service to you». At this point, I was already having doubts, but my friend carried my laundry there since pick-​up no longer seemed an option. The laundry was delivered: Literally everything had become pink. Literally. Every.thing. I paid $ 21.50 as a donation to Happy Cleaners and, then, tossed my now pink organic pillowcases and clothes into the bin.
Not so «happy».

We took two new sweaters here and they ruined them both (destroyed the leather on one belt, left a hole in the other sweater), then claimed they weren’t responsible and offered us no recourse other than the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs. Disgraceful. Avoid at all costs, unless you like having your clothes ruined.

Friendly man behind the counter. Always takes care of his customers. He’s stayed later for me countless times so I could pick up my laundry. Prices are fantastic. I’m moving from here unfortunately (got priced out), but I’ll still walk by and say hi. Class act.
