I found a new dry cleaner! ABC Cleaners recently cleaned my daughter's wedding dress. The wedding was outdoors, and so the dress was soiled on the bottom. They were able restore it to it's original beauty. We had it preserved in a box; and the cost was far below any other dry cleaner. Tiffany is a gem! Professional and kind-- I am a very happy customer and certainly recommend ABC Cleaners . read more

Been coming to ABC Cleaners in San Carlos for years and very happy with quality, service, and price. Also relatively convenient, not very far from 101, El Camino, and Ralston and parking is always easy. Seems like a family owned business with the same family folks operating the place for a long time, which is comforting. We've used ABC for dry cleaning, shirt laundry, alternations, and cleaning large items - it's been great. Highly recommended read more

I don't use a dry cleaners or need alterations often, but when I do, it's always ABC Cleaners as my one stop shop. Tiffany is always so friendly and efficient whether I'm dropping off or picking up. The prices are reasonable, and significantly of better value than other dry cleaners. I can get my large king comforter washed for less than $50. The alteration fees are reasonable also. I can save $2 when hemming pant legs if I bring them in pinned already. They can alterate difficult things like bringing in the sides to this vacation dress I bought for the Bahamas (pictured). Items are ready when promised and the timing is very reasonable. They won't take 2 weeks to wash a comforter. The alterations are efficient as well. I'll never go anywhere else. Plus, their location is convenient if you have anything else you need to do in this corner little strip mall! read more

ABC Cleaners - Disappointed with their hemming - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Carlos, California

I was very relieved to find a lovely place for tailoring and cleaning. Very nice job on my hemming needs. They did not push special hemming (more expensive), but really helped me make cost saving decisions. read more

Went here to get my grandma's old fake fur coat cleaned. I had at first thought it was real fur, but I was told it was synthetic. They cleaned it just the same as they would a real fur. Costs the same, too! I'm pleased with the outcome, and can keep my grandma's fashion going strong. read more

Retuned my clothes with stains. Had to go back to learn that they received my clothes from their third party cleaner with questions about follow up cleaning efforts, but this wasn't told to me until I returned with my clothes to complain. Did they think that I wouldn't notice? How come they didn't tell me about the questions their cleaner had for me? I'm unhappy and going elsewhere. read more

My son recently had a major RUSH alteration and ABC Cleaners went above and beyond. They are truly amazing. I take all of my dry cleaning and alteration work there. They know their customer's names, which is such a lovely touch in today's frantic world. The atmosphere is small town Friendly! Last, they have excellent response time and I've never had an issue with the work they do. I highly recommend ABC Cleaners on Old County Road in San Carlos! read more

Absolutely loved the kindness, diligence, and service I got and happy to say I have found my new go-to for cleaning/alterations. I brought in two white summer dresses that were too long for me and Tiffany was so kind to diligently and meticulously measure the exact hem I would need for both dresses, and flexible as well. She was so kind and prompt to everything, and I really appreciated her service! I will for sure be coming here and recommending this little gem. I also got the dresses done in "rush service" and they finished so promptly before end of the business hours! Very impressed. read more

Alterations! I haven't needed any since moving to the area, and when the need arose, I asked a local friend and was surprised that she suggested the dry cleaners as her go-to for alterations. My bridesmaids dress for my brother's (tiny, 18-person covid-safe) wedding showed up ~5" too long in length and ~3" too long in the straps. I called ahead to see if I need an appointment, and the answer was no. She said to just come during business hours whenever it suited me. She also let me know that, due to covid safety, the pinning and measurements would go a little differently bc they couldn't come within six feet of me. Instead, I'd need to pin the desired lengths myself, but they'd look at it on me and give me feedback based on where I'd set the pins. I was nervous about seeing the back of my dress, so I asked if my husband could come with me to help pin and she said yes. Otherwise, they're serving one customer at a time and asking anyone else to wait outside. We went in the next day, I stepped into the small dressing room, my husband pinned my steps and bottom of my dress, I stepped out and did a twirl at the front desk, got a nod from their seamstress that it looked good, and I changed back into my normal clothes. We went over pricing which was affordable and fair and we're on our way within ten minutes. My dress was ready for pickup 5 days later and looked very nice! read more

ABC Cleaners - Things were much too long before, but they fixed it up perfectly! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Carlos, California

I brought in my three suits as well as my son's suit (and shirt) to get dry cleaned. The owner was very professional. For some reason I forgot one of the slacks of my suit. I came the next day and dropped it off. She says she will make sure it will be finished on the same date as my original drop off. I came a few hours ahead of the time. This was clearly my mistake. She told me to give her 5-10 minutes and she will have it ready. Within a few minutes she had it all ready. Regarding my suits. One had a stain on the sleeve....GONE! The other needing pressing...LIKE NEW! Anyone needing a cleaners that do a great job and great customer service...Please try ABC Cleaners. read more

They are timely as well, with my clothes being ready usually within 3 days. I will continue coming here are a happy customer. read more

Tiffany took great care in making sure my duvet cover was cleaned properly and steamed to get rid of wrinkles. it came out looking like it was brand new! She is very particular about the work they do at ABC and gives the customers personal care. We wouldn't go anywhere else... read more

I like to have my work clothes dry cleaned depending on the fabric and have them neatly pressed. Due to the high cost of dry cleaning, I only dry clean my silks and wools. ABC has dry cleaned at least 20 of my shirts without any issues. Sometimes I'd notice that some tops come back less firmly pressed than I'd like with a bit of wrinkles here and there. They are however willing to work with you, are knowledgeable and don't damage silks. Good enough. read more

This is a long overdue review! This had been my go to cleaners for alterations and dry cleaning for the past two years. I've taken everything from maxi dresses, dress pants, sweatpants, and coats. They do a fantastic job every time! Plus, Tiffany (the clerk) is so friendly and gives great suggestions when needed. read more

Great job on alterations. Fair prices and Tiff was very friendly. Our new go-to cleaners.

A family-owned business which I prefer because they take delegate care of your dry cleaning and they do have an Expediting service which is awesome the location is very convenient for me and the customer service is just terrific and they do alterations on your clothing and it's so environmentally friendly and besides two businesses down they make awesome Donuts read more

ABC Cleaners - Disco Saturday night - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Carlos, California

"Support the local Mom and Pop shops," as my girl, Flor would say! :) Always happy to support local businesses as often as I can. My duvet covers desperately needed a cleaning and looked to my beloved Yelp (of course) to assist in finding a dry cleaner in San Carlos. Called ahead to find out the cost, which was by far the most reasonable of all that I contacted at $16.99!! Service is friendly, from the person who answered the phone to the staff that greeted and assisted me. Turned out that the cleaning costs was cheaper than previously quoted (as I didn't need to have them pressed, just cleaned). Sweetness! Dropped them off on a Saturday before COB, and would be ready by Wednesday at 4pm. Anywho, I happened to be in the 'hood on Tuesday evening, a full day before the duvets would be ready, and popped into ABC. Was totally OK with them not being done, but was willing to take a chance. Guess what? It must've been my lucky day as not only did I not hit any traffic driving on 101 South, but also because my duvets were ready!! Woohoo... (really, it's just the lil' things that make me happy)!!! Even better that there's a dish of Brachs candies (my fav) by the cash register! Yipee!! Thank you ABC. Wish you were in SF, but happy to return whenever I'm in San Carlos. Great prices, good service, and longer hours (compared to most cleaners)! Upon leaving the cleaners with more money in my wallet (than anticipated), cleaned duvets (folded, but not pressed), Brachs candies (butterscotch and cinnamon discs), I couldn't help but sing the Jackson's Five hit, "A-B-C... it's easy as 1-2-3!!" read more

Tiff, her brother and mom haven't failed me in the 6+ years I've been going there- they clean all my silk shirts and have even done my laundry (wash and fold ) a time or two! Best prices I've found here in Silicone Valley north! I used to live in walking distance, now I commute there from Redwood City... read more

I brought a bunch of clothes here. Usually that many clothes would cost me an arm and a leg but this place is really decent priced. They're the cheapest place in my area so I thought I'd check em out and I am very satisfied. I even had a stain they got out . I'll definitely come back to this place. I came back two days later to pick up my stuff and everything looked excellent. The times seemed perfect for me and they were very professional and gave excellent customer service. read more

Don't use ABC Cleaners!! Definitely trust your clothes with another cleaners! We had used these guys a couple of times and were pretty happy with the results but this last time they returned a business top of mine with big yellow-brown splotches they were not there when I handed off the clothes to them. I've attached pictures so you can see what the top looked like once they returned it back to us. What I dislike most about ABC Cleaners is that instead of owning up to their mistake and admitting that they obviously messed up they decided to lie and insist that the splotches were there when the top was dropped off to them. 100% inaccurate as there were zero stains like the ones the top has now. There are so many cleaners to choose from, I strongly suggest taking your business where you can get better results and much better customer service! read more

First of all, most of employees here do not speak English. They call somebody who speaks English to deal with customers. Otherwise, they expect you to speak Korean or Chinese. Next, they treat cloth you give them like trash and throw it in their baskets with other people's cloth. They are very disorganized and not reliable. I brought a sweater for alteration. I specifically asked to call me if there is any problem. Nobody called me. When I came there on the scheduled day to pick up my sweater, my sweater was not ready and was in the basket rolled like trash together with another people's dirty cloth. One of the employees, took it out and then rolled it again like piece of dirt and thrown it again in the same basket. They had a problem doing a job and they did not bother to call. They were not able to explain to me in English their problem, they had to call somebody who speaks English to speak with me. They have not solved my problem. Highly do NOT recommend this place to anybody. read more

Great service , great people that care about you values and always ready in time - the most important thing... will recommend this place to everyone in the area. Also I fixed one shoe there and few jeans so they are good in everything! read more

Great and inexpensive cleaners run by an amazingly warm family that treats its customers very well! Tiffany makes sure ever order comes out on time and will do anything to make you a happy customer. I highly reccomend this place! read more

Friendly, professional staff. Reasonable prices. I love the fact that they use non-toxic cleaning solutions and do the cleaning on site so that your precious clothes won't get lost. Contrary to the previous reviewer, everyone at the front desk speaks perfect English. I drive a little out of my way to get here, but it's worth it. read more

I had to dry clean my husbands dress suit on a Friday. So I called several places to check their availability. Since I need to pick up on Monday, most cleaners did not want to take my order. And I called Abc cleaner last and let them know I was in a hurry. this very nice lady told me she would do it for me. She said usually they did not accept orders for the weekend but she would do it for me. And then they would just flat it for me first thing in the morning on Monday so I can pick up early Monday morning. When you do business, nothing can stop you from being successful if you work hard and nice. I haven't picked up my order yet but I am giving 5 stars to this attitude of doing business! read more

It never ceases to amaze me how few dry cleaners understand their target market. You know who needs dry cleaning? People who WORK. Do you know when most people work? 9-5, M-F. Those are the hours that they need to be in the office, which means that they probably leave for work by 8 and don't get home until 6, especially in a commuter town like San Carlos. I decided to give these guys a chance since they were supposedly open from 7:30-6:30 M-F, plus hours on Saturday AND Sunday as well. That's rare in the idiot world of dry cleaners. Well today I showed up at 7:30 and it wasn't open yet. Another gentlemen walking in to the donut shop next door saw me waiting and asked "Are you waiting for Philip? Good luck!" Bad sign. I waited until 7:45 and then had to bail because I had a 7:55 train to catch. Stick with San Carlos Plaza Dry Cleaners, which is logically open from 7-7 M-F. You know - HOURS THAT ACTUALLY WORK FOR WORKING PEOPLE. read more

This another review that is long overdue. I have been coming here for all of my dry cleaning and laundering needs for over 20 years and have had nothing but excellent experiences the entire time. They are all very sweet people and the owner also happens to be an extremely talented seamstress. I don't think that I will ever use any other dry cleaner again. HIGHLY recommended! read more

Been a client a years. The prices are great as is the service. In all that time I faced only a few broken button and collar not scrubbed issues. My experience with other cleaners has always been worse so with that I have to rate it 5 stars. Plus they have gone green, kudos! read more

I originally came here because they offered the cheapest comforter cleaning on the peninsula for $20. My comforter turned out great, and I started to come here each time I needed dry cleaning. The other day I came in with a stain on my dress that I couldn't get out for the life of me, and they ended up cleaning it up like new! The people are very friendly, and greatly appreciate the affordable prices! read more

ABC Cleaners always takes great care of me and my family. They are friendly and remember me, which is worth a lot these days. They take time to discuss items that might require special attention and they're honest about spots that might be difficult to treat. I'm happy with the basic alterations they've done. Their prices are reasonable so I don't have to think twice about bringing in large items, like coats, comforters and decorative cushion covers. I'm glad to have them nearby! read more

I don't know what other people say (Susan), but this place is great! My friend got his shirt wet and needed it dry since he didn't have an extra in the car. So we headed here and for $1.25 (or whatever they cost), they got the job done in a jiffy. Also, they got rid of the wrinkles he had (he's not a fan of ironing). If I ever get a dingy, I know where to go! read more

True mom and pop local cleaners. Tiff always been fantastic and efficient. She help get a hot pot oil stain off without having to dry clean. Oh, and they use updated Meile commercial equipment. Prices are reasonable also! read more

Abc cleaners does great a great job better then I could have ever done thanks Tiffany ! I am going to be a returning customer and the fees were at a reasonable rate. I dread doing my own laundry it's nice and convienant for me since I'm a business owner and after a hard work day it's great to know that your company offers this service. You take a load off me. Joseph read more

This place does the job right about 95% of the time. If anything, it is usually that they forget to do something extra, such as a hem or a button repair. We have never had the experience of them damaging any garment, and we give them some pretty challenging stuff to do. The guy who presumably owns the place is quite friendly and has even given us discounts (just because we asked). He does remind me frequently that he has the cheapest prices in town. But he's right. read more
