Klean-Rite Cleaners & Coin-Op Laundry

Decided to use my neighborhood Laundromat since my dryer is not working. What a mistake. In the words of Bette Davis this place is a dump. Dirty machines dirty floor and very little table space to fold. I stopped using the dry cleaner next door after two of my items were damaged so I’m not sure why I expected this experience to be any different. Back to the Laundromat… from what I can tell they take no pride in workmanship and pay less attention to cleanliness. What is the point of taking your clothes to a place for cleaning if the facility itself is not maintained? Needless to say next time I will choose a cleaner, brighter place to do my laundry then the convenience of a few blocks from home.

I recently picked up my dry cleaning here and was shocked to find out they’ve dramatically raised the prices! They’re charging $ 7-​$ 8 for basic pieces like pants/​skirts. I made a quick call to «the cleaners» on 8^th Ave and their prices are half that! I’m willing to pay a little more to support small local businesses, but this is blatant price gouging. Will be going to «The Cleaners» from now on!

I used the laundromat. It is ok and does the job. It’s quite small. and has one table for folding. so everyone else is screwed if they want to fold before leaving and someone else is already occupying it. Also, no AC in the summer and i was feeling really hot inside.
It is $ 2.25 to wash heavy soil/​large load and $ 2.00 for light soil/​light load. Drying is standard $.25 everywhere.
They also have free wifi.

Gentlemen, avoid this business if you have ties that you want to wear again. They destroyed no less than 6 of my ties. That is the tally to date, but I keep finding ties that they ruined and I expect to find more.
They do not know how to press ties. I raised the issue with the woman working there (European accent) and was told it was the fault of my ties, even though the ties were from labels different, were made of different material and ranged in price anywhere from $ 50 to $ 150. My response that many other cleaners had cleaned the ties without ruining them and that they themselves had cleaned them previously without ruining them was met with another useless explanation about how «cheap» my ties were and that it was my fault, not theirs.
The worst part about the situation was that they clearly knew that had destroyed them. The stitching on the back of the ties had been manipulated as if they had tried to fix the ties without my knowledge. The re-​stitching looked like it had been done by a third-​grader. I wish I could post pictures of my ties.
It took quite some time to get in touch with the owner. I will give him credit for compensating me, although only partially for the loss, and had I known I would continue to find destroyed ties, I would have asked for more. However, he too blamed me for the problem and explained that it was because my ties were cheaply made. He then told me my ties were not welcome there anymore.
Fine with me. I don’t give any business to them now and if you have nice clothes I strongly recommend you not go there.
Final note, I attempted to have my more expensive ties «rebuilt.» In this process, I went to two of the most longstanding and reputable tailors in town and two of the most reputable cleaners as well. All four told me that Klean-​Rite does not know what they are doing, that they obviously don’t know how to press ties properly and that a competent cleaner can press even the most cheaply made ties.
Avoid.

Review is for Laundromat (not Dry Cleaners). Place is neat, clean and tidy. Machines are $ 2 for a large load, finished in 30 minutes. There are some bigger machines for larger loads, which cost more. Plenty of machines — no wait. Sorting table and some wheeled baskets supplied to move your laundry load around. Dryers also (but we did not use them). Powder in dispenser was $ 1 per small box. Change machine available. Free wifi and actually had some decent music playing over the sound system. Let me tell you, I have been to a LOT worse as far as laundromats. This place was fine and an easy way to spend 30 minutes.

So disappointed — I wanted to find something convenient in the neighborhood. I picked up my dry cleaning, and not only did my cashmere sweater have a huge hole in it, but it cost an arm and a leg. Even the person working said s/​he wouldn’t take his/​her stuff there! Now that says a lot!

Not sure why my previous comment disappeared.
I had to have a zipper replaced in a coat. They not only replaced it with the wrong kind of zipper (without notifying me in advance) but they returned my coat with glue stains all over it. The owner told me to use baby wipes or to pay for him to dry clean the coat. I refused, and told him to prove baby wipes would work — they didn’t. After arguing, I got a free cleaning but it still failed to remove the stains. At the end of the ordeal, he told me I should just be happy that they even fixed the zipper and not complain. Very rude and unprofessional.

This place has lost a very expensive sweater and when I brought it up to the owner, there was not even an apology. There was a sweater listed on my ticket. I also brought to his attention that he tried to give me someone else’s designer shirt on my last pickup and I told him it was not mine. They are rude. We are loyal customers and go there almost once a week. We will not be going back.

Rude, ignorant staff that avoid customer service issues, such as charging $ 2.50 for a denim cotton shirt instead of the usual $ 2.00 charge. The overcharge was a blatant attempt at gouging the customer by claiming my shirt needed «hand pressing??» The rusiian sales clerk avoided eye contact and stammered a useless comment and then referred me to the «owner» who has avoided my three attempts to adjust the charge. Check your receipts EACH time you go there or try another store that DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO CHEAT ITS CUSTOMERS!

Pretty clean efficient place. Wash is $ 1.50 (though there is one machine that only costs $ 1.25). Dry is $ 0.25 per 6 minutes. There is a change machine, vending machine for detergents and some chairs and magazines for you while waiting.

i had no idea my dress could be so clean!
i must stipulate that my experience with dry cleaners is minimal – which is to say, none – so i don’t have much to compare this place to. but they had my dress done, on time, with no damage, and at a reasonable price. if i ever need a dry cleaning service again, i would go back.
i just would have preferred a tissue-​wrapped dress (or nothing, really) over a disposable hanger and bag.
