Valu Cleaners

As a bargain dry cleaner I would rate it very highly. It’s not the very best press an I’ve ever paid for, but it is very good for the price. I was apprehensive after reading the other reviews but after going I will definitely go back.

I went there once, never again. Dropped off about 9 shirts, and 6 of them came back with significant rust stains on the collar and sleeves. Rust. Stains.
Don’t go there.

Our experience here was excellent. Great customer service by far. Dropped 9 pairs of children’s school uniform pants off for hemming and they did a fabulous job. $ 72 for the bunch. Average price for hemming. Will use them again.

Friendly, reliable, good service. Never had a problem.

This place is your typical TERRIBLE cleaners. I took a pair of pants here to get a seam repaired. (just needed to be restitched, a 5 minute job). They told me it would take two days. Came back 2 days later to find out they had forgotten the pants, even though i had called them the night before to make sure they would have them ready because i needed them that next day. So i had to come back the next day. They wanted 3 dollars for the alteration, and when I asked for that to be waived because they didn’t have them done on time which inconvenienced me, they asked me to never come back, which I haven’t.
Another time I showed up at 6:58PM (2 minutes before close) to pick up some shirts, and since they were already locking up for the day, they didn’t let me get my stuff. How rude.
Lastly, they have burned and ruined one of my shirts. But, they have a huge sign that clearly states that 1) you have to check your clothes before you leave (which no-​one does, are you kidding?) 2) that you have to make the damage claim when you pick it up (yeah right) and 3) that you have to have a receipt for a damage claim. This last one is absolutely stupid since they ASK YOU IF YOU WANT A RECEIPT WHEN YOU CHECK OUT. How do they expect you to have a receipt if you don’t have to get one.
What am i supposed to do, get a receipt, open up all my dry cleaning while everyone is waiting in line (they have no AC and it is hot as hell in the summer), check ALL my drying cleaning with a magnifying glass, and then make a claim, which they will probably argue over anyway?
This place. Is your typical, TERRIBLE dry cleaners.
p. s. They shrunk several of my dress shirts too. don’t go here. They don’t even smile when you come in. It literally is a sweat shop, of unhappy emotionless Asian people. UGH

I’ve been going here for a year and a half, and bring quite a but of shirts for pressing, no starch for me. Dry cleaned a few suites and sweaters also. They are inexpensive and I’ve never had an issue with anything. Be warned, they get busy around 5:30 and you will wait a good 5 minutes.

I’ve now gotten back stained dress shirts on 3 different occasions. The 2-​star (instead of 1-​star) review is for the nice staff. Not going to take my chances here anymore.

Prices are good here but you get what you pay for. Dry cleaned clothes come back smelling like a mix between moth balls and sweat. My clothes come back smelling worse than they did when I brought them in. Also the shirts are always wrinkled.

You get what you pay for. It’s cheap and their service reflects the price. They did things like pinning shorts to hangers. Doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it is because the pins leave holes in the shorts. I won’t go back here ever because of my shorts. They stained a pair if light colored shorts. The lady said she would redo them, but I doubt that happened. The looked untreated when I got them back for the second time. Another light colored item was dirtier when I got it back than when I took them in. They even hung my shirt on the hanger wrong. Oh and for get them pressing your shirts. Oxford shirts that we’re suppose to be pressed with starch looked like it was just poorly hung. You would get a better value for your money if you gave it to a panhandler! Don’t go here, I’m over this place!

This place is awesome. It’s inexpensive, the clothes dont smell weird and chemically afterward, they do alterations, and they’re quick. Plus its clean inside and organized so I dont have the «omg are they going to lose everything» anxiety when I drop my stuff off. They get out stains effectively as well. And I don’t care if the dry cleaning ladies remember my name. I just want them to dry clean my clothes well.

I LOVE this place!

They would get the job done at a reasonable price BUT every time I go to pick it up, something is always missing. They are not organized and they have lost things on several occasions.

Not bad for the price but they never proactively replace cracked buttons on men’s shirts. If you point it out, they will take care of it, but I’d love to find a cleaners that was diligent enough to replace them on their own but didn’t charge an arm and a leg for dry cleaning and laundry. The staff is nice enough, but don’t expect them to remember your name like some of their competitors. I have taken a blanket and a wool coat there before and they have done a good job.

Pretty decent prices for dry cleaning! Only reason I go here is because it’s close by and cheap.
I’ve gotten my comforter, blankets, peacoats, dresses, sweaters, dress shirts dry cleaned here and never experienced anything wrong! Its a fast turnaround — give it a day — 3 days. I needed a dress dry cleaned and they were able to give it back the next day after 6pm. If you forget your ticket, no problem! They dont make a fuss that you forgot your ticket, they simply look back into their logs and search for it. May take a while but thats what you get for not bringing it! :)
Make sure to donate your metal hangers back to them! They’re not really good for your clothes!
One thing that I wish they were better at is knowing their customers by name. I would think that a family-​run business like this, they would take time to know your name and greet you a bit better.

Took in some jackets, a sweater and a shirt, I guess the shirt was just laundered and not starched, then again I did not ask for that though so I will take that as being my fault and will mention that next time! This was our first time here so unless something goes horribly wrong between now and next time we will be back! (and I hope it doesn’t this will make winter much easier for me as far as dropping off sweaters, coats and suits!)

I must be thinking about a completely different VaLu Cleaners. This place is horrible. I’ve lived in the neighborhood for ten years and used them religiously up until recently. Over the past six months they ruined three shirts of mine and those that they didn’t ruin weren’t pressed for crap. I was never offered same day service, never compensated for busted buttons, and never offered to have them replaced. You get what you pay for. I suggest if you use VaLu, you check your clothes closely before you leave.

Touché, Chuck A. I too bring it, and they get it done. I moved away from this neighborhood about a year ago, but I still make the drive here on a weekly basis to drop off the work clothes.
I tried the other places nearby, but I always ended up paying way more for crushed buttons on my shirts, and waited much longer to pick them up. I have yet to experience any mishaps here with my laundry (fingers crossed), and I appreciate the same day/​next day service.
In conclusion, I rate Valu Cleaners five stars. Woohoo! As good as it gets. You won’t find a better value for your dry cleaning. What more could you ask for? Oh, I know, it’s also across the street from Foodarama. Haha. What a funny name for a grocery store…

Valu Cleaners appears to be a family-​run business, which I always like to support. Most articles of clothing are $ 1.49 for dry cleaning. You can’t really beat that. Dry cleaning a comforter is only $ 15. I once pointed out that the stain in my winter coat still existed, and they gladly dry cleaned it another time. Unlike some other dry cleaners, they don’t write your last name on the inside of your clothes. That drives me nuts! I’ve never had a problem with them, but if I did, I’m sure they would take whatever measures to make things right.

Valu-​Cleaners is my new favorite laundering service. They are quick and cheap. Bring in your laundry before 8:30 and get same day service at no extra charge!

I bring it and they get it done.
