Mom’s Cleaners

Their dry cleaning is fine and cheap, but DO NOT ask them to do anything else! No one speaks English and it’s impossible to explain anything.
I took a romper there today to get the zipper replaced and now it won’t zip up and gets stuck, so I have to get it altered somewhere else for even more money.

Came in today and told the man that I would appreciate it if he treated my dress shirt delicately. He began yelling no guarantee until I left…

I was the old customer of Mom’s cleanser. But last time they broke my shirt and said NO Guarantee! My shirt was $ 200!!! No even a «sorry»!!!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. They lost my $ 200 jacket and after I complained and demanded for my jacket, the man behind the counter, who knows maybe a total of 10 english words, asked me to write down my name and number and said he would get back to me after he found it. A week goes by and still no response from him, so I went to go see him again today and pulled out a jacket that was not mine. I told him it was not my jacket and I want that jacket I trusted his business to clean. He said, from my basic understanding because he doesn’t speak any english, that it was the only jacket they had. After I told him that jacket was not mine, he insisted for me to take it anyways.
Do yourself a favor and stay far far far away from this place.

Great location, great service. I am a usc grad student, and this is where I take all my dry cleaning to. It’s a family business, the couple Who owns it are very nice. Prices are fair, definitely recommend.

I rarely write reviews for places but this place drove me to the point where I had to write one.
I took in a tie with several shirt to get cleaned. When I came back a couple days later to pick it up, the tie had a stain on it that was the only reason why I took it to get cleaned. As a result, I asked the guy behind the counter to clean it again (which took about 3 minutes to ask for because of his broken english).
When I went back to pick it up today, the back part of the tie where the smaller tie goes into, was half way ripped off, and they ironed the tie poorly to the point where it caused a extra overhang/​crease on the side of the tie going all the way down. I tried asking the guy to just iron it and he wouldnt do it for some reason. I asked for the owner’s number and he claims the owner knows even less english and so he wouldn’t give the number.
I even explained through google translate, that I wanted the owners number so my friend (who can speak korean) can call and talk with him, but the «manager» behind the desk wouldn’t give the number and told me to file small claims and gave me a number to their «insurance company» but really it wasn’t their insurance company, it was some random finance company of theirs. So now I’m stuck with an unwearable tie and no one to contact to fix it (from this store).
So bottom line is: feel free to use their cleaning (sure it may be cheap) but clearly so is the quality of the service and customer service. If something goes wrong, don’t expect them to fix it.

I was customer there for the past 5 month and there was a gentleman who always took care of me and I do a lot of dry cleaning which I was paying a set price and his wife start charging me $ 1 higher and saying this is my price with a very bad attitude.

It was 8am and I needed a bunch of men’s clothes cleaned by tomorrow morning. I called and they have SAME DAY service if it’s in before 9AM — no extra charge! «woohoo as good as it gets» bc of not only the prices but also bc i called 3 other places downtown and they couldn’t get my stuff back same day, this is even after I offered to pay for express fees/​charges.
Dress pants -$ 4
Dress shirts -$ 2.50 (laundered, not dry cleaned)
Dropped it off at 8:45AM, ready and clean at 4:40PM. Older Korean man was nice and spoke English well enough to explain all the above info to me. easy peasy.

The guy that works here is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Even if he doesn’t speak much English, he always has a smile on his face and is willing to help out in any way. He even saved one of my favorite shirts by sewing on one of the buttons that fell off for free. Nothing but great experiences here and will definitely be a customer for as long as I’m at USC.

Really great place for quick and easy dry-​cleaning. The guy doesn’t speak English but I don’t see why that matters too much. It is a very no-​frills drop off your stuff and go. If you want a relationship with your dry-​cleaners (not sure why you’d need that) then I guess elsewhere is more suitable.
This place is affordable, convenient, and thorough – what more could you want?

Cheap, old-​fashioned dry cleaning spot in the sketch shopping center at Fig & Adams. I wouldn’t bring anything extremely valuable here, as there are no computerized records of anything and the place is less than secure. The man can hardly speak more than ten words of English, so don’t plan on asking any questions or giving any special instructions. Our communication breakthrough was when I pointed at a stain on my shirt collar and received an understanding grunt in return. It’s a small world, after all.
Pros: Cheap, two day turnaround, and VISA/​Mastercard friendly.
Cons: Inconvenient language barrier, antiquated itemizing system, and bad location.
3.5 stars

I’m actually pretty appalled by the reviews giving this place 1 or 2 stars because they guy speaks broken English. SO WHAT? You are hiring him to dry clean your clothes, not read bedtime stories to you.

Mom’s Cleaners is a budget-​friendly dry cleaning service located on 25^th and Figueroa in an outdoor shopping center/​strip mall that includes Flame Broiler, Figueroa Optometry, and Popeyes. Although it is located pretty far away from campus if you’ll be walking, if you are a USC student, ask Campus Crusier to drop you off at West 27^th place as this is only a couple steps away. You will walk in and notice a bunch of scrubs… don’t ask me why they’re there but apparently they’re all on sale hahaha (if that’s what you’re into).
I dropped off an ivory silk dress that I stupidly got makeup all over when I went to Sephora after an interview. The total turnaround time for my dress was about 3 days (though I didn’t pick it up 4 four weeks because I’ve been so lazy… oops!). Anyways, I picked my dress up today and was so impressed! Not a speck of makeup was left– even though I got long-​wear lipstick and waterproof foundation all over it. The best part? It was only $ 6!!! Six dollars for a dress that cost me well over 20x that amount and that would have definitely been ruined thanks to my stupidity. In addition to this, he takes credit card! And there was no minimum! So awesome, because normally businesses that provide services for extremely below market price either don’t take credit cards, require a fee, or require a minimum.
The owner is very nice, when I went in, there was a White guy, a Hispanic guy, and me (an Asian girl). Despite his very broken English, none of us had any trouble communicating our needs with the owner, whether we were dropping off or picking up. To drop off, you fill out a card, and the bottom layer is then given to you to keep for pickup. Turn in your copy when you pickup, and you get your dress/​shirt/​pants/​whatever. Really, it’s not that difficult at all. His body language and smiling facial expressions will tell you how appreciative he is of your business, so it’s not like he’s not friendly. It’s pretty sad that people give this guy bad ratings based on something so trivial, when he clearly works so hard and is very humble and good at what he does.
Please visit this business, you truly won’t be disappointed.
Two words that I did hear him say in English though? «Thank you.»

Quick, easy service! So cheap! Less than $ 3 for a shirt. Only drawback is parking can get busy later in the day.

I’ve used this dry cleaning service over 10 times now. The owner and workers don’t speak too much English, but I haven’t encountered a problem with my clothing yet. Service is polite and friendly. This shop is efficient, quick, and dependable — always having your items ready when they say they will. Prices are competitive with the surrounding area. I have not tried their tailoring service yet, but I probably will in the future.

I was desperately in need of dry cleaning and button repair (my dog bit off the buttons on my collared shirt) for about 9 of my shirts. I searched on Unilocal to see if there were any good dry cleaners in the USC area, and this place popped up.
Since my case was special (button fixing AND dry cleaning), I called the store to see if they could handle my request. The Korean man who works the store said he could do it. So I decided to give them a try.
They were able to fix ALL the buttons on all my shirts and dry clean them in the course of two days. I was pretty satisfied with their work and their time efficiency.
My total for 9 shirts and a suit came out to 47 bucks (Dry cleaning and button repair). This was definitely a good deal for me considering the circumstances.
I will definitely be coming here again!

Worst experience at a dry cleaners ever. Never going back there again. The guy working has the worst communication skills and cannot speak a word of English. Don’t even try and ask him a question. Paid $ 6 bucks to dry clean a jacket for my wife and $ 3 to launder and press each of my work shirts.

If you’re a USC student looking for dry cleaning services, look no further. Mom’s Cleaners is the ideally-​located and reasonably-​priced dry cleaning service in the area.
I brought in a winter coat and pair of dress pants on a Friday and they were ready to be picked up by Monday. Both items were dry cleaned and pressed perfectly and the belt/​wrist loopy things for my coat were all still attached and cleaned as well.
The man who helped me with both the drop-​off and pick-​up was very professional and courteous. He did not speak much English, but it was super easy to communicate a pick-​up date and price. There is parking in the front lot, and there is more parking behind the shopping strip. (The entrance to the back lot is off of Adams.) Overall, it was a great experience and I will use Mom’s Cleaners again.

I was looking for a dry cleaner close to the LA Convention Center so we can have shirts dry cleaned in between days of a 3 day event. I checked Unilocal and saw this place was rated 5 stars, so I called to get some more info and the guy who answered the phone clearly does not speak English well at all. I asked if they do next day cleaning and he kept talking in a different language and maybe said something about not being open on Sunday. I tried to repeat my question by re-​wording it a few different ways and finally had to give up because he couldn’t answer me in English. I’ll be looking for another dry cleaner to use. ;p

i’ve been a customer of this establishment for over 2 years and i’ve never had a problem with my clothes being mistreated or not being done on time. In fact, the owner lady usually has my clothes ready faster than i need it haha
At first, i had misgivings about the quality of the service just by the appearance of the store’s outer façade. It’s located in a strip mall on Figueroa and Adams. The area itself isn’t a bad part of town, just that with all the new construction and renovations going on in Downtown these days, this strip mall needs a facelift. Anyway, i went inside and a nice Korean lady greeted me. Had my clothes clean and ready and i’ve become a loyal customer since then. Pricing is also pretty awesome. Cheaper than other places i’ve been too
Mom knows best :)

No reason not to go here. It’s close to my apartment and I got my pants dry cleaned for 5 bucks. There was a 2 day turnaround.
Only thing is that I had some communication issues. They are definitely not native english speakers. However, price and date are really the only things they need to communicate.
Good dry cleaning!
