Cleaners on the Corner

This place is a total POS. When they first opened they were absolutely phenomenal with great service and work product, however since the ownership and staff change things have not just gone down hill they have fallen off a cliff. The turnaround time is awful. Responsiveness is non existent. I recently showed up to pickup my clothes and they were not even open 30 min after their stated hours. I have been lucky enough to not have lost anything but it won’t ever get to that point because I am certainly never going back to take the chance. CLEAN AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I’m surprised this place is still in business. Has anyone else been ripped off so far in 2016?

This place started out great when it first opened, but gradually got worse as time went on. When they lost buttons off of my shirts two orders in a row, and then returned a blazer to me looking like it’d been run over by a car instead of pressed, I decided I was done. Plus, the frustration of showing up during business hours to find the door locked, was enough to send me on the hunt for a new dry cleaner.

I used to like these guys, then a dress came back with holes in it. Threads pulled from another dress and a scarf. $ 4 a piece which is a great deal, but beware… you get what you pay for!

I’ve been going here regularly for about a year. Nothing special but they did a good enough job and are convenient for me. They’ve now put in a $ 15 minimum for credit cards. Last straw for me I suppose. While the policy may be legal (and I’m not sure that it is — last I heard you couldn’t require above $ 11 min for visa or mastercard), it’s not good business. I’m sure I’m just one of many customers who will be taking their business elsewhere.

So I used to live close by and my wife would take my laundry here and they did an ok job. A few months ago I took my wedding shirt there to be cleaned and when it came time to pick it up, they couldn’t find it. We get a call a few days later and they found it in the back with an ink stain on the bottom of the shirt. Spoke to the employee and they noted it would be reimbursed by the owner and gave us his number. He picked up the first time and when I explained the situation he promptly hung up on me. He has never picked up a phone call from me again.
If your clothes are important, do not take it to this P.O.S. dry cleaners. Used to be ok until new management came in.

Yet another negative review for the new owners. Have been going here for a year now and never had any problem — then ownership changes, prices go up, they no longer text you or call to tell you your cleaning is ready, and they lost an expensive pair of suit trousers.
Very difficult to get hold of the owner to resolve the issue. They essentially didn’t care at all. Now pursuing legal action (trousers were part of a $ 1200 suit).

I started going to this dry cleaner a year and a half ago and really liked it. We brought everything here — probably 10 items per week. It was affordable, nearby, had lots of parking, and the staff were extremely friendly.
Recently, we have had a few issues. They laundered a silk blouse instead of dry cleaning it and it was ruined. It was an old top and the first time anything happened so I essentially ignored it. Also recently, they lost a pair of my boyfriend’s trousers that are part of a very expensive suit. The local store staff tried and tried to locate them and were extremely helpful as they always are. However, it got to a certain point were we needed to get in touch with the owner about reimbursement /​replacement. I expected him to have the same customer-​centric and helpful attitude as his local staff. However, it’s been a week of phone calls and messages and we simply cannot get in touch. Reading the other Unilocal reviews here doesn’t give me very high hopes about what to expect if we do manage to connect with him.
My takeaway for anyone reading this is that something has changed at Cleaners on the Corner. What used to be a friendly, quality and affordable cleaners has become somewhere I would not recommend entrusting with your wardrobe.

Owners have changed recently.
$ 4 each
On my most recent trip I was told my clothes would be ready Tuesday and that they would text me.
3 days after my clothes were supposed to be ready I still hadn’t heard from them. Tried calling during the business day and no response.
6 days after my clothes were supposed to be ready I called and left a message asking about my clothes. No response/​call back
7 days after my clothes were ready someone finally picks up the clothes. and tells me they had in fact texted me, and they could confirm this, because the word «text» was written on their paper. nope they had not, and I was the one who asked them to write «text» when I had first dropped off my clothes. Very unorganized…

Do not go here. Do not go here. If you are reading this, do not go here!!!
Whether it was the old owner or the new one, they are both unethical, lying, crookiest of all crooks. I honestly don’t know how they operate or afford to stay open.
I’ll spare you all the details; simply put: they damaged several pieces of clothing that they continuously promise to pay for but never did. They lied to my face. This Patel guy has the audacity to stand there shake my hand and tell me how he’s going to take care of me because he’s such an ethical businessman. HA! My arse he is! He never returns phone calls, text messages, or emails. The only way you could track him down this if you catch him in person. Funny part is when I asked his employee to call from the shop’s landline, he picked up his phone but when I called minutes before he didn’t
At this point, after 4 months, I’ve kissed my clothes and the money goodbye. Let this be a warning to the rest of you, do not go here. Don’t even give them your baby’s dirty diapers, they’re simply not worth it! And to the old owner Faheem, or new owner Patel — you’ll be sorry! So very sorry

DO NOT GO HERE!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!! I went here for a year without problem. There seems to have been an ownership change recently, and the new owner Patel is awful, unresponsive, and apathetic. They lost my Brooks Brother tie, and I asked to speak with the owner. He never called me. I then asked for his number. When I called him and asked for half the value of my tie in return, Patel said he couldn’t give me that much. He wanted to give me $ 15 for a perfectly good $ 100 tie. I got tired of arguing with him, so we settled on $ 40 over the phone. I have yet to receive my check.
Based on other reviews, I am not alone. They outsource the service and are all around bad. Go elsewhere and put these crooks out of business.

I started at UCLA and found this business nearby. I’ve been here 3 – 4 times, and each time had no issues with cleaning. The nice black guy working here (who always had good R&B music on) sent a text when ready, and it usually took about a week to get my clothes back (I never asked about same-​day service, I wasn’t interested). There had been two times when I went, it was closed during business hours, with a «be right back» sign.
Last time I went, the receipt no longer says «Cleaners on the Corner», now it is «Star One Cleaners». Did they change owners? I went on ⁵⁄₁₅ to pick up, and again, the door was locked with a «be back» sign. It is definitely becoming inconvenient that they close at random times during the day. But the price keeps me coming back. I’ll see how it goes with the new owners…

I’ve gone here a few times before and it was fine for the price. This time though I went by a few times over the course of an hour when they were supposedly open and no one was there. I saw a few other people who said they had been waiting longer.
They lost my business.

It’s cheap for a reason. Took my new blouse in and when I got home, I notice a part of my blouse was discolored! My advice, pay a little more to avoid this.

kind of hidden from the people i found this little cleaners behind wilshire blvd with more parking then you ever need.
Cleaners are a complicated way of making money, people always complain and that’s just the nature of it.
I had always a good experience, that’s why i always come back. One time a suit which had a note that said we could not process before we get your permission. When I saw this note, it was months later. I went back and said it was already prepaid but I had no receipt, it was a while back I said.
No problems did the owner say and cleaned my valuable piece with no questions asked. I like that.
Good customer service

1. Doesn’t get clothes cleaned on time
2. Clothes consistently come back pressed wrong, with stains/​or rips/​holes/​tears
3. Will try everything they can to not reimburse for damage clothes. («We can’t reimburse you unless we have a receipt.» Let’s get real. How many of us keep receipts to every single one of our clothing purchase?)
4. Will go in the dark and disappear and won’t respond to calls/​texts and in the rare event they accidentally pick up your call, they «drop the call» and poor. Disappear
5. Your clothes are sourced out and might not be avail for you to pick up even though they were supposed to be dry cleaned and ready for pick up and for whatever reason, they don’t have your clothes even though you give them a week to dry clean your clothes– so you can’t even pick up when you need them because they’re either «in transit» or «cannot be located»
Maybe take your most sturdy clothes here, if it’s not expensive. But I’ve learned my lesson and will not even recommend this place to my enemies

I can’t give this place less of a review. They were supposed to have my suit and some shirts done in one day. I gave them an extra day, and not only was my stuff not done, they didn’t know where it was as they outsource their services. So I couldn’t even get my suit back dirty in time. They were to give me an update in 30 minutes and call me back. No such call was made. Took them 5 days, and I still don’t have one of my shirts. I have stopped by a few times and there’s just a «be back in 30» sign up. Worst cleaner I have ever been to, do not take your valuables here.

i bring all of my stuff here. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good cleaner.
Cory is awesome. He’s friendly and helpful. I needed some clothes dry cleaned for a movie I was on and needed the items next day. He totally delivered. Amazing man. Amazing.
Prices are reasonable. Parking is no problem.

I’ve been looking for a good dry cleaners for a while and hated the one near me so I decided to give this place a try based on reviews. I loved it! I came in with 9 things — 6 sweaters, 2 tops and 1 dress. I paid in advance and it only cost me $ 3/​item. My clothes came back clean and nicely packaged. The guys are super friendly. They are definitely my go to dry cleaners from now on.
They are a bit hard to find. They are located in an office building and while they are on the ground floor, facing the street, they are in the farthest left corner, which you have to walk through the parking lot to see. Otherwise, you can go through the main building entrance and be directed to a windy path inside that also gets you there. Don’t let this deter you, it’s worth it. They provide free parking, but there’s also plenty of meters outside. They also offer to text you when your clothes are ready. I highly recommend them.

Ummm… I don’t think you can get any more amazing than this place. Have been looking for a while for a dry cleaners. This one is great… If you’re in a rush, they’ll rush it. Otherwise they’ll text you when they are done.
You just have to prepay but at prices like this. It’s no big deal. The quality I think is pretty high… My clothes came back again free of stains… Pressed. Doesn’t smell like cheap chemicals.
Oh and the owner is from Chicago and is really awesome.
I’m from Chicago so maybe I am a bit biased.
Oh and parking in this lot for free… 15 minutes.
Great find. Thanks Unilocal
