Rex Cleaners

A little pricy but if you buy expensive designer clothing, you want them to be cared for when dry-​cleaned. They have been in business for eons and they do an excellent job. Be sure to ask for what you want and they almost always can do a rush job as well.

very nice people. only thing I would like is more parking spots.
costlier than others around, but they do a great job. recommended!

Great service. Always go above and beyond to make sure my items are taken care of to my needs/​specifications.

It’s the people at Rex that make this place my #1 dry cleaner. I needed my wedding suit and shirt cleaned ASAP for the next day (since I forgot to do it earlier). They welcomed my clothes with open arms and said it would be done even earlier than I expected.

Rex cleaners is the best! The owner, Kevin and his fantastic staff are reliable, professional, and very kind. They have been able to turn clothes around very quickly for me and they always do great work! I mostly haven’t clothes dry-​cleaned, but occasionally they have fixed zippers and other tears for me!

My short experience with Rex Cleaners was a great one. I came here to pick up dry cleaning for someone and the process went by really fast. The lady behind the counter was friendly.
You can find parking near a parking lot across the street or just park on the street. There’s a total of about four cars that could fit in Rex’s parking lot.
This place was recommended to me so this is the dry cleaner I’ll go to when the time comes.

I hardly ever write Unilocal reviews but I just wanted to point out how great the customer service here is. I had a skirt cleaned and am currently about a week late in picking it up (because I had more articles that I need to bring in later). I just received a call from Danielle who very kindly reminded me that my skirt was ready and happily informed me that the cleaning turned out very well. She didn’t need to do this it was very kind of her to go out of her way and call. Thanks for the awesome customer service, I’ll be in to pick up my items soon! :)

My husband has used Rex Cleaners on numerous occasions. What they get right is getting your clothes back to you quickly.
However, on multiple occasions we have received clothes in worse condition than we left them. Sure, they’re dry cleaned and pressed but they have new stains. I’m not quite sure what the issue is. Maybe they have too much business and can’t take care of each individual piece with as much care as they should. Very disappointing. This last time, one of my husband’s dress shirts came back with two burned looking stains on the collar and lower shirt. When I picked up this particular batch of clothing, the woman working at the front mentioned that there were some issues with stains. I asked, her if they were NEW stains? She paused and said no, stains from before. That was not true. We are done going to Rex Cleaners.

I wanted to like Rex Cleaners because the staff is nice. But I’ve been here twice in two weeks and both times my order was incorrect.
They don’t have an on-​site seamstress which causes problems. The staff doesn’t know how to pin, so you will not receive accurate tailoring services. Dry cleaning is also not conducted on site. Also, they do not have a dressing room to change clothes. You have to change in the office next to the microwave and there is no lock on the door.
My husband’s suit and shirt were nicely cleaned and pressed. But when he put his shirt on, several buttons fell off. I asked for a pair of my pants to be hemmed and the elastic, genie-​style hem removed. The pants were hemmed «with the elastic.» The person who took the order did not write down my directions. They didn’t charge me for the mistake and sent them back to the seamstress. I had to pick them up 2 days later.
I dropped off a second pair of pants to have the zipper replaced. When I dropped them off, the staffer who took the order said the seamstress was out of town and he didn’t know when she would return. I called today and the pants zipper had been replaced. They charged me for both zipper replacement and cleaning, but I only asked for zipper replacement as the pants had already been cleaned. They removed the cleaning charge. The charge for zipper replacement was $ 20 which seemed high.
Unfortunately, even though they are near my home, I will have to find another location for cleaning and tailoring.

I totally relied on Unilocal’s review when I chose this place for my wedding dress cleaning and my bridesmaid’s dress cleaning.
After my experience with Rex, I felt that this place was overrated for the following reasons.
1. Not friendly at all–
2. They tried to add more service on when I only needed simple pressing on the dress.
3. Long turnaround time — it took more than 2 months to get it done
4. Lack of communication– They never called me for follow-​up (although they promised me to call back for pickup date) or even when my wedding dress was ready. I actually had to call them and found out that my dress was sitting there for weeks.

Absolutely amazing! Called in and asked for some prices as I’ve never been here before. The lady who answered was super nice and friendly, I wanted some slacks and a men’s shirt pressed only and she said if I brought it in that morning (8am Fri) then I could have it back within 10 mins. Told her I would be on my way! =)
Once I arrived, the location has private parking only for customers. Inside is very old and smells like the 50s ;) Although very clean and tidy! Hey I can deal with that!
The same woman comes to help me once I arrive and she said it would be 7 dollars total to press, as if I were getting the items dry cleaned then it would be cheaper (2.10) per shirt instead of 3.50 because they ship their clothes to a laundrymat that does all the washing for them at a lower price.
I told her it’s totally fine, I just need pressing this time. She was very helpful and the clothes were actually done within 5 mins!
Definitely coming back here for future pressing and cleaning! Would recommend to anyone in the area!
THANKS REX CLEANERS!!!

New to Cali and needed a dry cleaner. Read the reviews and decided to give Rex a shot. This place ROCKS! Service is fast, friendly, and especially quick if you get there before 3 pm. I brought them a winter coat that had not been cleaned in 7+ years, this thing was filthy. Rex cleaned it 3 times but only charged me for one cleaning. On another day, 12 shirts cost only $ 12 + change. Yes, they are closed Sat/​Sun and yes, you have to keep the claim ticket — but computers cost $$$. Getting employees up to speed on a new system costs time which = $$$ and causes delays in processing customer orders. If not being modernized is what it takes to keep overhead low and costs down, seems like good business sense for a place of their size. Give Rex a try, you’ll be glad you did!

Not bad for a reliable dry cleaning place, but I’m hoping they bring it up a notch.
Pros: friendly, reliable, consistent dry cleaning, good hours.
Cons: They don’t have a place to try on pants if you need hemming or repair. No computer so you have to hang on to your little pink piece of paper or it’s going to be a long process, and none of the new environmentally friendly cleaning options. Also you can’t just hand them a bag with your name tag on it and bounce (like my old place) you have to stand there while they count out the items and write them up by hand until you can get your little pink piece of paper to file away until your return.
I get the idea they have been doing everything the same way for 40 – 50 years and they are not going to modernize anytime soon. Not bad, not the best.

I have tried many dry-​cleaners in and around San Jose and they are by far the best in service, quality and price. Five mens shirts cost me around $ 11 and usually within 2 – 3 days or quicker if needed.
I highly recommend these guys.

Love this place! Fast service! Great job on my dress and cashmere sweater! My new dry cleaning spot!

I went to this place because of the reviews I saw. If you are going down Santa Clara Ave and making a left onto race street, the place can be easily missed as I saw another dry cleaning place and thought I missed it. I drove around again and finally found it after I really looked to the right. Going the other way on Race Ave, I found the sign easily.
Anyways the guy Kevin was really nice and gave me a quote on the phone, $ 12.50 to dry clean a suit and $ 3.50 for a tie. I am used to the cheap dry cleaners around my place, but I guess this is the norm of what they charge up here. Anyways they told me my suit will be ready on Thursday in the afternoon and so it usually takes them around a business day and a day to do the dry cleaning. He was really nice.
When I went to pick up my items, there was a woman that work there. I greeted here while I wait for my clothing, but no response. I figured she was busy and did not get to me until she go the other dry cleaning ready. Anyways I finally got my suits and ties and the spots are gone as well as the wrinkles in my suit too. Looks as good as new, so I was impressed.

Rex cleaners lifted a stain out of one of my favorite shirts, a stain I thought would never come out. I’ve been here several times since moving into the area. Rex is close, convenient, and does a great job on all my clothes. Great service.

Awesome cleaning services! I needed my blazer professionally cleaned within 2 days and they delivered! Couldn’t believe how many other businesses had 3 or more days turn around time. I took my blazer to several different cleaners in the area and none of them were able to clean my garment within that time frame. I have 2 dogs and a cat and somehow they got hold of it and I had animal fur all over it! They definitely cleaned it and took off all the hair. It looks like a brand new blazer! Best part is it was only $ 8.50 not bad at all! Customer service is ok. I was literally in and out when dropping off and picking up, but I wasn’t treated horribly. I’ll definitely be coming back here again!

Really gotta thank Adam D. for writing a review and telling me about this place, because they are in fact fantastic.
I took a pair of suit pants in that I believed that I thought were un-​salvageable (I spilled ketchup on it, and in a stroke of genius decided that scrubbing it with a coarse sponge + toothpaste would help. It did not), just to get a sort of consultation on how to clean it in the future. Instead, they took it from me and told me everything would be fine, and told me to come back in 2 days.
2 days later, the pants were dry cleaned, creased, and perfectly usable again. Holy crap. These were not small stains — they were large splotchy white marks from scrubbing, and somehow they got it to look as good as new again. I’m no expert, but as someone who thought I would have to abandon them altogether, I have to say that I’m impressed.
All this for $ 5. And no tax. Fabulous. I’ll be back for sure.

I usually won’t take the time to review a drying cleaning establishment, after all what’s there to say, they all seem the same. However, after doing business with Rex Cleaners I was motivated to share my positive experience on two occasions thus far. The place is more expensive than I am used to, but the results are worth every penny. At other places, when I drop off my Hugo Boss suites, I cross my fingers that they don’t vanish or are improperly dry cleaned. At Rex’s, I drop everything off and never worry. The results are evident on the garments and shirts, perfectly pressed and fresh. The order is always completed per the quoted time, so I don’t bother calling to confirm before I head over to pick them up. Also, alteration services are available, which makes it very convenient. They even provide recommendations on how to lay the clothing in your car to prevent them from wrinkling on the way home. They really appreciate when I bring back the recycled hangers, as they donate them to schools as art material. Finally, the staff is super friendly and communication is not an issue.
