Starcrest Cleaners

The overall quality of the dry cleaning service is good but the price is very expensive. I used this location for a month getting my work clothes cleaned each week which included four button up shirts and four slacks. Somehow that ended up being around $ 40 each time. I have since gone back to the more dated looking, but cheaper dry cleaner by me that is only about $ 20 – 25 to clean the same items. I do like that they are open on Sundays and they accept credit/​debit for payment as opposed to just cash like other dry cleaners. Also, they have a drive-​thru which is very convenient. If you don’t mind spending more for your dry cleaning then this is a great place to go to.

Ok, I finally quit slacking and loaded up my clothes, comforter and bed pad into my truck and went down the road to Starcrest. Oh my goodness, I love doing my laundry here (that is since I have to do it). I put my clothes in the regular washers, and they were not overloaded like the apartments washers would have been. And the same laundry detergent I used at the apartments actually got sudsy vs not at the apartments. I don’t know why that would be, just my observation. I put my comforter and bedding in a big washer. When they were finished, I put it in the 2X dryer. Dry in 30 minutes! When I did laundry at my house, it took an hour, had to take it out and rearrange the thing… back in for another hour. I had the dryer with the moisture sensors too. Did I say I love this laundry mat? It’s a must try for your bulky stuff, if not the convenience of getting all your laundry done at once!

I love a good disappearing act but I prefer one take.
If you point out a chocolate stain when you drop off your dry cleaning, the chocolate stain should make like David Copperfield and disappear, the very first time you take it for cleaning.
However…there was no Amazing Kreskin performance. No David Blaine street show. The disappearing act was unsuccessful, I might even say unattempted. This chocolate stain appeared untouched. Even after pointing it out at drop-​off.
So, said chocolate stain garment was left at the cleaners. This took a bit of time that could have been better spent and to top it off, no offer to comp anything.
The next morning, another trip to Starcrest to see a disappearing act. Take two is a success.

My wife used their laundromat today because our washing machine broke and our new one won’t be delivered for a few days. They were closing in an hour, but all she needed was to wash the clothes there as our dryer works fine. The attendant, an old, heavy-​set lady, was horribly rude to her about getting out of there by closing time, harassing her repeatedly about it even after my wife told the attendant she would be out by closing time and that she only needed to wash the clothes. We won’t need to go back there, but I’ll certainly share my wife’s experience so others can anticipate show they’ll be treated.

I have used Starcrest several times. They are very good. The problem I have is they are also very expensive. The price they charge is at least twice what I was paying in Chicago before moving here. I have to find another cleaners but really like them. If you can afford it I recommend them.
