Broad Street Cleaners

These guys are awesome! They heard my tummy grow and they gave me a hotdog AND my suit looks brand new after they cleaned it!

This is my first post to Unilocal and Broad Street Cleaners definitely deserve it. Right before closing today, i biked over in a downpour to go pick up some shirts and a suit. After paying and getting my clothes, the guy behind the counter told me i could hangout in the store until the rain slowed a bit. Ten minutes later, with the rain still falling pretty fast, the same gentleman offered to drive over and drop off my clothes at my house right after closing. He went above and beyond what was necessary, and i am truly thankful for his awesome customer service.

They are so nice in there. Payment terms are very clear. Got my quilt back and it smelled and felt clean, but the stains were still there. Not a big deal, but I expected it to look clean too. I will still use them because they are close to my house, pretty affordable, and so super nice.

They were able to do a very last minute alteration on a dress I was wearing to a wedding– They did a phenomenal job on the alteration and the dress came back to me in perfect, ready to wear shape. My boyfriend uses them for regular dry cleaning and has never had anything less than a perfect experience. Their prices are fair, work is speedy and great. Broad Street Cleaner is awesome!

I have only ever used this dry cleaner twice (I guess I don’t have that much fancy stuff) but both experiences were worthy of 5 stars!
The first time was to have a blazer, a suit, and two dress shirts cleaned and starched for my now husband to wear during our wedding festivities. The woman at the front desk could not have been more polite and the job was done on time and he looked like a million bucks. An added bonus is that the process is eco-​friendly, and the price was reasonable! Double yes!
That experience brought me back this weekend. On Thursday night my husband casualllllly mentioned that the event we were going to on Saturday was black tie. Talk about pushing my panic button! I knew I had the perfect red dress for the occasion – but the trouble was, it still had the remnants of the last time I wore it all over it (aka one too many glasses of champagne).
I dropped it off on Friday morning with a hope and a prayer. They told me that the stains miiiiiight be too bad to get out in time – but they would do their best. My instruction was to call on Saturday at 4:30 (they close at 5… event is at 6). Close but doable!
Needless to say if you saw a lady with a wet head and a house coat rushing down Tasker Street at 4:31pm that was me on my way to pick up my dress!!!
It came out great and I was extra impressed that she knew it was me when I called. Broad Street Cleaners will definitely get all of our future business.

Went to have my Faux leather coat cleaned after an incident with a feline, dropped coat off, they said they couldn’t dry clean because of material but would get the coat clean, $ 25 prepaid. So a week goes by, I called them and asked for an update, the guy said «we can’t dry-​clean it, I said I know, and brought up the conversation we had at the counter. He asked the woman I originally spoke with in person and said «ok, it will be done on thursday, which is another week away! Well finally the coat was cleaned, and in good shape, but the wait and poor communication was a problem.

I like these guys a lot. I regularly get my pants hemmed here and they always look good, and they’re fast and friendly with the service. I can’t comment on the dry cleaning since I’ve never used those services, but they also did some sewing patchwork for me on a jacket that I was happy with.

Great dry cleaning service! I go through alot of dress shirts throughout the work week, and these good folks keep me looking good.
I really like their pickup and delivery service, well worth it.
If you’re in center city, this is a local’s choice.

Well, they didnt lose my Hugo Boss suit, so THATS a plus! I’ve had cleaners lose my suit before, so thats a big plus for me.
She told me they clean all their stuff in house so that «should» cut down on the lost clothes. I’ve only been here once but I’ll give it a go for a while.

When we moved from the suburbs to the city, my one concern was replacing a drycleaner and tailor I had used for 25 years. My husband saw Broad Street Cleaners within the first week, went inside and uncharacteristically interviewed the owners. He was impressed and when he came home he told me he found a replacement.
When I brought my first bundle of dirty clothing, the lovely owner knew who I was, where I had been, and that they had large drycleaning shoes to fill. It also was clear BSC was ready for the challenge.
At this point, they have been cleaning my regular clothing for two years and they have done sewing repairs and alterations on numerous pieces I have purchased or reinvented. They have never given me something back that was not perfectly done. But, in addition to my regular work clothes, I have dumped on them (and gotten back equally well done): two hefty bags of my adult son’s very dirty, never cleaned before but well worn, suits and tuxes; a large wool blanket someone gave to me after it outgrew their use; a rug I found laying in front of my house; a coat that the neighbor’s cat peed on; a Evan Piccone winter full length coat that my daughter’s friend covered with patches advertising cheap cigarettes; a ball gown that I spilled nail oil on, yes, on the way to the ball — you get the idea. The owner, who continued from the first day until now, to refer to me by my surname knows all the stories behind those items. She remembers what I brought and when I need it finished She is so pleasant I enjoy actually talking to her about my dirty laundry.
Enough said about that.
The only bad part for me is the location. I tried parking on the side street until I got a parking ticket and figured out that the bus lane is a bus lane. Now, I just park in the center of Broad Street. I guess BSC made a Philadelphian out of me.

Not to disregard my fellow Unilocaler’s comments, but I believe Kelly is off base with this business. They do a great job cleaning, pin up sleaves, perform excellent alterations, and are very fast. On top of all that, they provide brand new laundry bags, their turn times are fast, and they pick-​up and deliver for free. For the city, the prices are very good, and I’ve found them to be particularly friendly.

I went to this cleaners a couple of times because it’s so close to my house, and it seemed like a pretty good deal. That is, until I brought in a silk blouse to get cleaned and it came back with a huge purple stain across the back. I noticed it immediately when i took it back home, and when I brought it back to the cleaners the manager tried to convince me that it came in like that. I couldn’t because they had the nerve to do that! They took it in again, no charge, to get the stain out. They weren’t successful, and their solution now was to «wear something over it».
Seriously, fuck these guys.

These cleaners are excellent. Prices are very fair and they do an excellent job. I like how they clip up the sleeves on your shirts so they still look perfect after hanging for a while.
