181 Corner Cleaners

Two things that are important. 1) I left about $ 14 in my pocket one day and they gave it all back to me. 2) They recently had a car theft and lost a sweater I had given them. The woman behind the counter was really warm, apologetic, and gave me the $ 60 the sweater cost in cash without hesitation. Very good service all around.
I never write Unilocal!Reviews, but felt compelled. Definitely my neighborhood spot! Only reason it’s not a 5-​star review is that the prices aren’t he cheapest, but they make up for it in honesty, friendliness, and customer service.

I love it here. My clothes come out perfectly always. I’ve had everything done here… wash, dry cleaning, alterations. The best part is the lady who owns the shop… always warm and friendly!

I had a horrible experience in which a new pair of pants of mine ripped in the back and I flashed half of the Bronx one morning (all I can do is laugh now because I was so humiliated, lmao).
So, I obviously went back home and changed, went to work and panicked internally the whole day because I was wondering which tailor was going to repair my pants fast and efficiently. So I came on Unilocal and started searching locations and 181 Corner Cleaners stood out to me, because it is close to where I live, and my stepmom has used their services before.
I called the business to say I was going to drop off my pants and the lady on the phone was super friendly. So I went, dropped off my pants, and asked them if they will be able to have them fixed by tomorrow. The lady who helped me gladly said, «Yes, you can come pick them up tomorrow at 8AM.» Hearing those news made me happy and what made me even happier was that it only cost $ 7 to get them repaired.
I returned the next day, and there were my pants. Fixed, and no sign that they ever ripped. I thank these people so much for being able to provide me with excellent service. NOW I know where to come if another emergency like that occurs. :)

This is the only dry cleaner I will go to in the neighborhood. They take extra special care with my wash and fold, deliver for free and have the best, just the warmest customer service ever. Highly (highly) recommend.

I have been a customer of Corner Cleaners for a year now, and am really surprised at the negative reviews!
They always come and pick up my gigantic bags of laundry, for free – I used to tip them and they stopped accepting! The have only missed a pick up twice in a year, and always have a good excuse and profuse apologies. I wish they were open a little later or open on Sundays, but hey they need time off too.
The people who work there are very sweet – I do miss Joe, their old employee, but their new pickup/​drop off guy seems to be learning the ropes well. I have a complicated order – one bag wash and dry, one bag wash and air dry (delicate blouses) and sometimes even some dry cleaning, and they nail it every time.
I actually used to go to a different cleaners – Aphrodite – and they stained one of my shirts with a huge black stain throughout, and dyed my white shirt pink! I have never had such a horrendous experience, ever, with Corner Cleaners.
I am a satisfied and loyal customer!

I posted a great review for this business a little over two months ago, and I was greatly disappointed recently to discover that this business refuses to take responsibility when they lose items. I started giving them my laundry and began noticing missing socks. Due to a health issue, I have to wear boots and so need black boot socks and I was stocked on same. I had roughly 10 – 12 pairs. The last time I sent my laundry to Corner Cleaners, a very bright green bath mat was missing. I knew I had given it to them. I called and told them it was missing, and only then did they admit that they still had the mat. They said it hadn’t been dry when they delivered my laundry so they’d hung it up.
I asked why they didn’t tell me. No understandable explanation here. My guess is that they didn’t know whose mat it was, and when I called they figured it out. I also told them I was missing socks. Surprisingly, I got nothing but arguments from them. I tell them I’m a longtime customer, I’ve never complained about missing items, and that I wouldn’t make it up. We’re talking YEARS here, at least 5 – 7! I suggest to them that they ought to replace the items and it would cost about $ 20, and they simply refused to take responsibility. I asked them whether or not they valued a longtime relationship with a customer and again, nothing but a shrug of the shoulders. I was rather surprised. But I guess it’s IMPOSSIBLE for this business to admit to making a mistake or they’re, what, superhuman and know where everyone’s laundry goes and can’t possibly put someone’s socks in the wrong bag? If they tell it’s impossible to lose items, how is that so?
Who doesn’t lose things sometimes? Particularly dry cleaners???
It actually hurt my feelings. I’m a rather sensitive soul. Here I had dealt wiith these people for years of my life, and they lose my socks and they could care less.
I’ll be trying another business. I’m glad this only happened with my socks. Imagine if they had lost one of my leather jackets! I guess that would have been impossible too and I would have been out hundreds of dollars. Shame on you, Corner Cleaners.

I’ve been using this place for a year, always like their prices and demeanor, and wasn’t going to bother with a review until today. I dropped off a whole bunch of laundry over the weekend. A day later I’m 90% sure I left my wedding band in a pants pocket. I half heartedly trek there to explain this possibility, they call their facility to no avail, and I leave thinking «that was a waste, it’s just going to end up pawned or who knows where». One day later, voicemail: «come pick up your ring». They went through everything and found it. Brilliant!

I’d like to echo the words of Anna S. This place is seriously shady. I had a similar experience wherein I was quoted once price and called 4 days later with the news the price would actually be double ($ 100 to hem 1 dress) since the job was «so complicated.» I wasted my time going there in the first place and now I have to waste more time recovering my dress and finding a new tailor. Save yourself the grief and go elsewhere.

This place leaves your clothes DIRTY. The last time I went to pick up was in April, and when I got home and inspected my clothes they were smelling like stinky feet. Prob something with what detergents they use. You will figure that since I am a long time customer that lives in the neighborhood the service would be very professional and meticulous. I wouldn’t be surprise if this place goes out of business in the next few months. I am not returning to this place!
