Fairview Cleaners

Small place, great service, cheap pricing. What else could you ask for in a dry cleaner?

After my last fiasco at Back Bay Cleaners, I had to find a new spot to take my clothes. I stumbled across this place which is very close to home and they have done a fantastic job of not only dry cleaning but fixing a few pants for my boyfriend. They are extremely friendly and professional and prices aren’t bad, I will be a loyal long time customer.

Very friendly owners and prompt service.
They do everything here you can get your clothes dry cleaned and they also do alterations.
You can request same day pick up too which is convenient.
Definitely recommend trying them out.

I have taken my husbands work clothes here for years. Have been super happy with the quality of work as well as the friendliness of the ladies who work there. Often times I will have my young kids in the car when I pick up my dry cleaning and they’ll help me take my things to my car which I so appreciate!
Even though I no longer live around the corner I still come here for all my dry cleaning!

Good work — fast and efficient. Thanks Fairview!

The cleaning this company does is «o.k»… The customer service is below par, and will NEVER come here again. Came here primarily because it is just around the corner from my new home. Can’t understand one word, lady shakes her head at me because I literally can not understand one word. They could care less about what you think. As a business professional, many would understand there is usually a balance between business and creating relationships. This place could give 2 chopsticks about what anyone else thinks. I would recommend going here if you desperate, and have no where else to go. I plan to drive an additional 10 minutes back to my old cleaners where atleast I’ll have a smile on my face. It is likely they may good your order, you won’t understand them, they certainly wind understand you, will not be nice to you. No idea why people go to such a place with horrible customer service.

UNPROFESSIONAL AND OUTRAGEOUS
They took 3 of my jackets in for tailoring and quoted me a price which I agreed to. I went back a week later to pick them up and they said «sorry, we decided not to do the work because we want to charge you twice as much money for the work.»
W.T.F???

I thought the cleaning quality was average. It wasn’t bad though. They are slightly higher than average for dry cleaning a shirt. Slightly longer turn around time than what I would expect. They didn’t take out my collar stay on one shirt and it’s now somehow stuck inside the shirt. I don’t know how they got it there. I see no hole. I’d have to say this place uses magic.

This review has nothing to do with the actual service of this place as I never made it that far. It is rather about the customer service.
I called this place to see if they offer pickup and delivery of dry cleaning, the reason I chose this place is because it had the best reviews and had decent pricing. The woman that answered the phone could not understand English at all. I clearly asked «if they offer pickup and delivery for dry cleaning» and her response was «we do dry cleaning» in a very thick accent. then I tried to explain what I was asking and she started saying «hello, hello» like she couldn’t hear me then hung up. I called back and received the same responses from her. Not that their work isn’t any good, and I understand there was a language barrier, but it is very disappointing that a business in my neighborhood can’t communicate in English and would treat me so rudely because I don’t speak their native language.
If I spoke to the owner then I’m surprised they have such good reviews, if that was not the owner, then I would advise the owner to get someone with better customer service skills to work the phones.

After several different cleaners around CM ruined a few of my things, I finally found this place. (Thanks, Miss Augusta S!)
Fairview Cleaners houses the greatest tailor in the world. He used to work at Universal Studios, or some shit, designing costumes, and he is a genius. This sweet old man knows exactly how to stitch on a Gn’R patch or drop the hem on your new Moschino skirt.
There’s one cashier who is super sweet, and don’t mind the other older one: She may come off a bit uptight and snooty at first but the more she gets to know you, the nicer she is.
This place is really good clean fun.

I went to Fairview Cleaners the other day for the first time with a hopeless cause, or so I thought.
My husband had left a piece of gum in his business shirt pocket. I washed and dried his shirt and was devastated to see the gum residue and stains on the pocket. I searched on Unilocal for local dry cleaners that had good reviews and this one came up.
I took the shirt into them with very low expectations of it being salvaged. The lady I spoke with didn’t get my hopes up too high but promised to try. She quoted me a price of $ 4 for the stain removal and dry cleaning. I thought it was a price worth the risk to save a $ 50 shirt if possible.
I came back five days later and a miracle had occurred! They were able to get the stain out completely! His shirt is as good as new, cleaned and pressed. I will definitely be returning to Fairview Cleaners for any future dry cleaning needs.

the ladies there look through the garments very carefully for any stains on the clothes as you watch. totally a plus. they did a great job with my dress that i had hand washed causing some of the colors to bleed. felt good not to have to throw it away :)
there was one time though with my husband’s shirt that there was some weird little bump that looked like it was ironed funny. we didn’t notice that until a long time after we got the shirt back (like months) so we didn’t bother. just a lesson to us to check the clothes shortly after picking them up. i’m sure they would’ve handled it if we brought it back within the 30 days, like the sign said.

I hardly ever get any of my cltohes dry cleaned. I guess I’m not as fancy as I thought… :/
Well, I took a black military pea coat jacket to Fairview Cleaners that had a couple of white stains on them and they got it out like magic! Nooo, no, not those kind of stains. I wasn’t actually sure how it got stained, but needless to say, they got it out without so much as a glitch.
They do alterations here as well so I had them tightened all the 14 buttons on military jacket and it all came out to be $ 7.50. Good deal!
I think I’ll use them for all my cleaning and alterations needs. Especially after the lady at the shop told me that they have 40+ years of experience in alterations. I mean, if that doesn’t sound like an expert, I don’t know what is.

They do a great job here on all kinds of different problems: a dress with an unidentified stain (I got it at a thrift store and didn’t notice the stain until I was at home); another dress with a million seams, some of which were coming apart, that they sewed up perfectly; my quilt which was stained from something wet being set on it. Everything has come out beautifully and smelling fresh and clean, not like chemicals. I’m probably also a little biased because the first time I brought some items there the two women up front told me how pretty I am, which is always nice to hear.

BAD Service
BADCommunication
RUINED several HUNDRED DOLLARS worth of my clothing.
As far as dry cleaners go, I have never required much other than them not ruining my clothing, they failed in this task. This past week I brought in five dress shirts. I picked them up a few days later and the following morning took the plastic off the clothing to use one of the shirts. That was when I noticed black specks all over the back of the shirt. I check all five shirts and they all had the same stains.
What upset me the most about this cleaners was the fact that the Asian staff, who speaks English very well, immediately forgot how to speak English once their was a problem. And what upset me more than that was instead of taking responsibility they told me that the MATCHING stains on ALL of my new shirts I sent to them was my fault.
If you want your clothes to come back to you wearable again, DON’T TAKE YOUR CLOTHING TO THIS LOCATION.

As far as dry cleaners go, you either find a good one or you just put up with the bad service because well, you need your clothes cleaned. I found this place on Unilocal after I moved to a new city and have been for the most part, really happy with the prices and service.
I’m not sure what it is about dry cleaners in general, but they always seem to put up a fight when you tell them you need it the next day. This place is family owned and they always do a great job and provide a great service.
Lots of parking too easy to get find.

Not unlike Carrie Bradshaw, who came to a much bewildered conclusion that her investment portfolio was stuffed and boxed, albeit somewhat neatly, in a small enclosed corner of her bed​room​.ie. her closet…
(Oh fictional sister, how I can relate) …My closet overfloweth with silk, cashmere, and wool marked with the label that once made me release a loud sigh (and cry) —
Dry Clean Only.
Damn you, Anna Sui, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Nanette Lepore. You ladies I love and garments I adore.
I’ll never forget the disdain I felt taking my coveted Diane Von Furstenberg leopard wrap dress to another cleaner across the way to discover upon pick up day that a button on the cuff was completely missing as another dangled loosely by a thread, sadly, as if to say, «Why??? Why did you send me here to die??? I’ve lost my companion and now I’m all alone in this world…»
Not to mention the horrible chemicals used… yuck.
And so with a heavy heart, I hung my non-​machine washable, seemingly non-​wearables in the deepest crevice of my closet…
That is, until I discovered Fairview Cleaners!
What’s this? An environmentally friendly dry cleaner? No harsh perchloroethylene? Fantastic! Why I don’t mind if I DO reduce my carbon footprint as much as possible AND stay as healthy as can be in the process!
Though it is a little pricier than harsher, chemical-​induced dry cleaning, isn’t it worth it? Trust me, it is. Look up the effects of perchloroethylene exposure and try to raise an argument.
The women that work at Fairview are extremely nice and not only do my clothes come back smelling and looking great, they glow.
Because they’re happy.
Ok, they don’t really glow… but *I* certainly do as I hang them back in the front of the closet where they belong!
Fairview also handles alterations at a reasonable price and the workmanship is nice. I highly recommend this cleaners.
Yay Earth!

I love this cleaners! They have never let me down!!! Everything is always cleaned properly and pressed to perfection. They are also good at tailoring!!! Prices can be a little high but they are always reliable!!!

I wrote a previous review raving about this dry cleaner and I wanted to write another. I recently got married and made a mess of my dress (beer spilled on the front and the bottom of the dress was black from dragging it around).
Fairview Cleaners was able to get all the stains and dirt out and the dress came back looking like new. I definitely recommend them for dry cleaning!

I work in a profession that requires me to drop off clothes at the dry cleaners on a regular basis. I have been to many different dry cleaning businesses throughout the years while renting in different cities. I found this dry cleaning joint down the street from my new house in Costa Mesa. I decided to give it a try because the drive/​walk is very short.
I would consider myself a tree hugger and all for helping the planet and when I found out this place was a green dry cleaning business I almost shit in my pants. It’s the only green dry cleaner in OC that I know of. The best part was getting a discount for being a superhero. Overall this place rocks. I would comeback for their awesome service, being eco-​friendly, affordable pricing, and because it’s down the street from my house.
