North Park Cleaners

Best place in town. Thank you to these two ladies who do an amazing job with my clothes for the past 4 years. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I would give it a ZERO! This place sucks for alterations! I had a brand new dress taken in & they ruined it! Cleaning maybe but do not let them cut on your clothes.

I have been going here for almost a year and have thought the service was decent overall. I never even had to ask for costs because they were affordable and did good work. Then, I started noticing they were increasing the prices on things that were normally less expensive, and when I would question these things they would get very defensive (on another random note, they refused to think that a hole they made in one of my shirts was them). I have taken many things to be altered and I began to question the high costs for things I would need altered. The most recent was a dress I needed hemmed, I was quoted $ 25 and told she wouldn’t be able to alter it in the same way, I found a tailor who did it for $ 10 and did a great job. The last straw was going in and asking about costs of dresses, when I discussed with them the costs they (again) got very defensive. The woman who was helping we went over to talk to another lady and then came back to tell me she would not accept my clothes. I told them how disappointed I am in the fact that will not even listen to some of their customers concerns and I was extremely disappointed in their customer service. I would not recommend this place and in fact went across the street to Daisy Cleaners, they listened to me and were much more accommodating and friendly. I wish that this place would listen a little more and be transparent, I am sad to say they will not have my business any longer.

I always take my suits here before a business trip. They are quick and good. Got a very old «mystery spot» out of a silk dress, too. Conveniently located.

Angels! I was wearing a new skirt for two hours before I stained it. It was a Saturday afternoon and I wanted to have it cleaned before the stain set over the weekend. I tried several of my usual spots before heading to North Park Cleaners. All said no one was available to look at my skirt until Monday. I went to North Park Cleaners and the owner helped me and cleaned it immediately! My family has a small, family-​owned service company as well. This is the type of service you can only get from small, local business. THANK YOU so much for helping me and being so generous. I will happily be your loyal customer for years to come.

Dry Cleaning Service: They do a good job with my suits. I have never had a problem. They are a tad more expensive then Daisy Cleaners that is right across the street, but I would switch back and forth. They tend to not take as long as Daisy, so if I was in a rush I would go here.
Tailoring Service: I had some suit jackets taken in, and I did not like the job they did. Had to get them redone somewhere else. The suits just didnt hug the body like a real tailor would have done. As for the pants, pretty easy job and they did well on that. Price was right. Just dont get any suit jackets altered here.

Not many things are more satisfying than taking a $ 10 thrift store shirt here, and getting it tailored to my frame for another $ 10-​$ 12, and then having a perfectly fit shirt for $ 20. I’ve done this with about 4 shirts so far, and each time I’ve been so pleased with the results. Super friendly, and quick turnaround.

I got my dry cleaning done here a few weeks ago. They were friendly and did a good job. The price seemed to be average or about what I expected to pay. The only caveat is there is no place to park. I found myself illegally parked to run in and pick up my clothes.

My husband and I get stuff altered from Maria frequently and she is awesome. I love this place! Decent prices, great tailoring, wonderful customer service and fast and efficient work.

I’ve lived in North Park for 7 years and recently discovered this place. How terrible that I’ve driven all the way to Hillcrest for so long when this little gem has been here.
I have been bringing my clothes here for dry cleaning, alterations, and mending for about a year now and they are great. They do such a wonderful job. I lost about 30 lbs and instead of donating all of my wonderful clothes, I decided to have them tailored/​altered to fit my new frame at NP Cleaners.
I have zero complaints. Excellent quality. Sweet family. Very affordable.

I have waited a while to write this review because one great experience doesn’t always mean it will be that way. Good dry cleaners are hard to come by. And I know shit happens, and they are not always going to get it right, but overall– this place does a great job.
I have been taking my clothes here for about a year now. Their staff is great. And most importantly– they are REALLY good at getting stains out! I mean most of my stuff has stains on it, and as long as I can point it out, 99% of the time it is gone when I pick it up.
I like that they price out each item for what it costs. It makes combined orders with my partner easy for us to square up on.
I have had a few issues with a shirt here or there, and they have been more than willing to re-​do it, even if I picked it up a while ago. (I I have a habit of not taking them out of the plastic until I am going to wear it) And once I was wrongly charged, but after I called, she was more than willing to make it right. Even remembered the next time I came in and credited my order.
If you want a place that you overall can really trust– go here.

AVOID THIS PLACE. Took our jackets there for dry cleaning. A few days after getting them back we took them out of the protective plastic only to find the stains still there. My husband took his back but they refused to do anything.

I’ve lived here for 3 years and am so happy I stumbled upon this place. Great price and EXTREMELY accommodating, ive had times where I needed dry cleaning and alterations with in 48 hrs. and these awesome ladies did it with out any extra charge. The mean reviews before me are hilarious and not a good portrayal of the business. If you want that small business feel but with good prices then go here.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
I brought in a shirt and pointed out a spot (on the inner collar). It came back exactly like I gave it to them. When I said I didn’t want to pay for it because the spot was still there, her exact words «just don’t come back no more»! Lol! Wow! So don’t waste your time here!

Literally the worst place i’ve ever been to. I never got my clothes back.
They gave me some BS about how might be over at another cleaners for some reason. So I went and of course the other cleaners had no clue why they would send me over there. So I go back and they keep telling me that I don’t know my own last name and that I don’t know what type of shirt I even dropped off so its not their fault that they cant find it.

You can’t rate a cleaners when you don’t get your clothes back!
Missing: Grey BAR III suit, 38R
I took my suit in for a good cleaning, it had a few stains on it from a wedding I had just gone to, and went to go pick it up. The lady there was unable to find my suit on their rack so she said she would look for it elsewhere and call me when she found it.
A few minutes later I get a call from her, she proceeded to tell me that the suit was picked up on Saturday, by me, which I find it to be pretty amazing that I could do something that I wasn’t in town for. I told her there was no way I could of done that because I was out of town for my brothers graduation. She then said maybe a friend picked it up or my girlfriend picked it up to surprise me. How does that happen when I still have my ticket/​receipt with me? Or maybe it’s in my closet (magically?)
Well, I go back to discuss this with her face to face hoping that maybe we can resolve this and all I got was the same story, it’s my fault. Someone else picked it up for me, it’s in my closest, meanwhile she is laugh at me the whole time and calling me a bad person because my suit is gone and they have no way to resolve it. I asked, «how could it be picked up if I still have my ticket? » Her response was, «90% of the people who pick up stuff don’t have tickets!» (WOW… I know where I’m going for my next outfit, free clothes!) So I want to know why even give a ticket/​receipt if it doesn’t mean anything?
Well, no suit, no replacement, no nothing… there for my rating is a ZERO.

NP Cleaners does dry cleaning and tailoring. I have had pants taken up here for $ 5, which was impressive. I have also had a ball gown dry cleaned (drunken white wine spills, dirt, stepping on it, etc) and she made it look as good as new, in a 24-​hour turnaround because of course I waited until the last minute. It was pretty impressive. Finally I have had her shorten the sleeves of a brand new suit jacket and the tailoring was impeccably done. I have avoided dry cleaners in the past because they looked filthy from the outside and I just didn’t trust leaving my clothes there. NP Cleaners assuaged my worry from the first time I arrived.
I have used NP Cleaners maybe 10 times now, and never hesitated in bringing anything here for cleaning or tailoring, even complicated orders. She has never «ruined» anything I’ve brought — sometimes when I have bad stains she just says «I’ll do my best» but she always, always gets the stain out. I’ve always been happy and pleased with the service I receive, the work is timely and quality. The only parking available is on the street, so that can get kind of tricky, but I recommend using one of the two 15-​minute green curb spots which are usually open right out in front. If you’re picky with your clothing, or you have something special that you wouldn’t trust to just «any» cleaner, come to NP Cleaners.

Ughh I am so lazy when it comes to dry cleaning.
Mama F. raised me right, though, so I knew when it was time to take in those winter coats for cleaning. Or way past when it was time to take them in… I guess… Sorry mom, you did your best.
I love that North Park Cleaners is open a little later than other places, which was my main motivation for coming here though I live in Clairemont. The service is very friendly, they use environmentally safe products, and are really quick! I had the option of coming in the next business day to pick up my clothes, but I had no rush and just picked them up a while later.
I brought in 2 peacoats, a blazer, and a dress. I asked that they also sew the dress a little bit since a seam ripped and I can’t sew in straight enough lines to get away with it. The clothes were SUPER clean (This is where I feel gross that they looked so different… how dirty were those coats?!), the dress was brand-​new looking, and they smelled pretty fresh too!
For all that work, I paid $ 40. Sounds expensive to me because I have never paid for dry cleaning before, but I would absolutely go back! I believe most of the money was for sewing the dress. The cleaning was less than $ 10 an item…$ 7 or $ 8 I believe? Not bad!
There’s also a 15 minute parking zone right in front, so if you’re lucky, parking will be a breeze! I am such a fan of North Park Cleaners! An absolute recommend.

This place is great!
I moved into the neighborhood and wasted NO time in finding a dry cleaners I could trust and relay on.
I read some great reviews for this place and felt this is the spot I need to go to.
After dropping off some clothes and meeting the Mother/​Daughter team that works there, I knew I had chose the right place.
They did exactly as I asked and were fast, courteous and professional about it.
I even got to practice my spanish with the nice woman.
Since I have a very demanding work schedule, they are more than happy and willing to accommodate me by giving me 1 day service even after I come in after the deadline.
I also had a pair of pants altered and this lady does some real amazing work!
I go here at least once every 2 weeks for my dry cleaning needs and have not nor will ever consider going anywhere else as long as I am a resident of North Park.
This place is great!

I hadn’t ever dry cleaned anything and was in need of some quick dry cleaning this weekend.
I first stopped at a cleaners’ near my school, which I quickly left because the woman insisted my items (spirithoods) could not be dry cleaned. Then I started Unilocaling something other than food for the first time!
I called a couple other places, but it was around 4:30pm on a Friday and I wanted the hoods clean for an event Sunday night, and some only had pickup/​dropoff (no cleaning) on Saturday.
I called North Park cleaners, described my items, and the woman I spoke with said they could be done by the following afternoon. I dropped them off at about 5:30pm paid $ 15 (I have no idea if that’s a good deal for two spirithoods or not), and picked them up the next day around 3pm. They were as soft as when I bought them and looked great.
The only disappointment was that the paws of one were a little cracked (maybe from the heat) but I’m not upset since that’s the kind of thing that would happen over time anyway.
The ladies at North Park Cleaners were really nice, helpful, and got my stuff cleaned fast. I’ll definitely bring my spirithoods back here next time!
Oh, and parking can be an ish, it’s only street parking, so when I couldn’t find a spot the night I dropped my stuff off, I just pulled into the alley by the shop and put my hazards on.
