I’ve used this dry cleaner several times because the turnaround time is consistently fast. Unfortunately, the cleaning and finishing quality has been inconsistent. On multiple occasions, stains remained on garments after cleaning, and the pressing wasn’t always done particularly well. My husband’s shirts also came back much starchier than requested. Nothing was ever damaged or lost, but given the premium prices, I expected better and more consistent results. After several visits, I’ve decided to try another cleaner.

When I asked why he didn’t mention the additional charge when I spoke to him at the initial drop off, he angrily said “well you should have asked.” That is not how you treat loyal neighborhood customers who have spent hundreds of dollars at your business over the last year.

Swift Cleaners has a dressing room (with a multi-option light mirror). I stood in the room in my undergarments while Anthony repaired my dress. He was so polite, turning his back to take the dress and hand it back to me. Instead of simply adding a stitch at the intersection of the dress, he did a more supportive stitch across the width of the dress. A box of safety pins from… read full review
