Path Cleaners

This is the worst cleaners is Downtown Jersey City. I decided to try it because the prices are a little less than Golden Cleaners around the corner on Newark Avenue.
This is my second and last time going to this business. First of all the lady that runs it is not very friendly at all. I would be surprised if she was the owner. She acts like she is being interrupted. I brought three dresses to her last month. She goes through all this mumbling about she needs to see the tag because certain things have to be washed so she checks the linings etc. Now I have had the dresses cleaned before. Well she finds all the tags and accepts the garments. One of the dresses is black and white. The white part is full front and full back. The sides, arms and collar are black. This was one of my favorite dresses. She ruined the dress and didn’t say anything. I pick the dresses and this dress was in the middle so I didn’t think anything of it just I just made sure I had three dresses. I didn’t need the dresses for a couple weeks so I left them together in the plastic. As soon as I pulled this dress out, I could tell that the white was no longer. It’s grey. I walked over to the window in the sunlight just to be sure my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me and yep, grey. Horrible. I will never go there again. I will be going back to Golden. It’s worth it.

I’ve been having my business clothes dry cleaned and mended/​tailored by Path Cleaners for ~3 years now and have been consistently pleased and impressed by the quality, price, cleanliness and customer service. The owner is a very nice woman as well. Would definitely recommend Path Cleaners to those in need of a good dry cleaner or tailor in Jersey City.

This has been due for a while.. First, the other reviews you may have read prior to mine are true, the woman at the counter is rude and unfriendly as they come. My wife and I actually stopped going initially because of that and a few years had passed and we recently gave it another shot… a couple visits in, They lost a belt on my wife’s dress (which can easily happen no big deal) when I asked her if she can check with the people who they send it out to she yelled at me and slammed the counter. She insisted that if there was a belt that she would have tagged it, I suggested that maybe she made a mistake because we had to beg her to check 3 years ago and the cleaner did have it (yes we stopped going because this happened before). Now I am down a dress belt but luckily not a dry cleaner (There are plenty of other options in JC)
Anyway I hope this helps anyone else out there who is considering Path Cleaners. I know this will be my personal memo so I don’t lose something else with them and get yelled at by the neighborhood grinch.

Friendly service is not a concept that this business employs or even understands. The woman who is usually behind the counter has a «I don’t give a s#%t» attitude. You almost feel as if you are bothering her by entering the store and giving her your hard-​earned money. Her responses to your questions are cold and firm, like her expressions. God forbid she cracks a smile or even says «thank you»; as she quickly snatches the money out of your hands. I work hard for my money, I will take my business elsewhere, to someone who shows even just a bit of appreciation for my patronage.

I recently moved in the neighborhood and decided to step inside and ask for their rates. The person behind the counter was very rude. I asked about the price for having a shirt cleaned. I felt she was not comfortable answering, her English was not good, hence I asked if she had the prices on paper. She said no, seemingly getting more agitated and pointed me to a price chart. I felt better and pulled out my phone and started taking a pic when she shouted I should not take any picture without asking her. I left wondering why would anyone want to bring their business here!

Friendly service, clothes came back neatly pressed.

I got 6 sweaters and 1 shirt dry cleaned. In total it was about $ 47. I’m happy with the service and results.
I used to live in Elmhurst, Queens and I had very good, cheap dry cleaning service there. When I moved to Newport I had to find another dry cleaners. All the ones near me have horrible reviews on Unilocal so I decided to walk a little farther to this location.
The woman who greeted me was very friendly. I dropped off my clothes Monday night and she told me to come back Thursday for the pick up.
Although it is more expensive than the rates I was getting in Elmhurst, I was happy with the results. I’m going to come back and make this my permenant dry cleaners (till I move).

I’ve been taking my clothes for dry cleaning here for a year. PC gets the job done, nothing special.
What I’m most disappointed in is their tailor service. She has tailored a few pant hems for me – simple, easy task completed fine. But when I was in a pinch and asked her to hem up a dress for me, she did so, charged me extra and then nearly ruined my $ 200 dress. The hem was completely uneven when I picked up and tried it on in front of her. She agreed it was uneven. I asked her to fix it and she refused saying «I’m not responsible for that, nothing can be done about that.» She did not want to fix the mistake, it seemed because she could not admit to her incompetence. I told her I would take it to my dress/​suit tailor in Manhattan, who charged me the same price that she did to fix the mistake.
When I brought it back to PC, showed her the improvement, how they fixed the problem, I also asked for a refund of my money. She again refused saying, «I’m not responsible for that. No way I’m responsible for fixing your dress.» What about subtracting the price of the poor tailoring on my dry cleaning that I’m picking up now? «No way.» So, I’ve spent hundreds of $s on dry cleaning there and was surprised she’d rather lose a customer than to take ownership for her novice hem job on my dress. Basically, she was unwilling to reason or admit her mistake and her attitude was alarming to me, therefore I’ve stopped going to PC. What else might she not take responsibility for in the future?
In sum:
–Amateur tailor establishment. And lesson learned, never take tailoring to a dry cleaner.
–PC owner is unwilling to acknowledge a mistakes or take accountability for poor service. Hope they don’t lose or damage your dry cleaning; you’ll never get compensated for it!

I am a regular here. I have been getting my laundry (wash & fold) done here for almost a year now. Delighted with the service. The place is neat unlike a few places around here. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area.

Out here from Los Angeles, i was looking for a reliable place to get my suit pressed in time for a wedding.
Everyone else that I called told me there was no way to press my suit in 24 hours but not Path Cleaners. The lady was extremely helpful and friendly. She asked me when I needed it and beat it by 18 hours!
As soon as I walked in today she recognized me, got my suit and charged me way too fair for saving my day! I tipped her and she was reluctant to accept it.
I DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone in New Jersey \ New York.

Great prices and good service. I went last weekend for the first time and it was clean and locally owned. The owners were friendly and everything was ready when they said it would be. I will be going back.

This is my go-​to place for dry cleaning, even though I live around 5 blocks away. They have never ruined anything in the last 7 years I’ve gone there and that is said with under two separate managements, which is probably a coincidence.
Prices are fair, though to be honest I don’t really shop around. I took a pair of pants to a cleaners more convenient and they missed a stain, so that reinforced my decision that Path Cleaners is all I need.

Caring staff who are also the owners, fair prices, great service… once I walked in with socks in my dry cleaning bag by mistake, and the owner dry cleaned them for free. Small, but greatly appreciated gesture. She also takes my dry cleaning bag and folds it nicely and gives it back with my clean clothes. This is the kind of business I want to support.
