    Alteration prices, comparable to other locations, certain alterations are less expensive here
    Dan T.

    AJ Cleaners and Alterations used to be Tho's Cleaners and Alterations and Tho is still there to do the alterations. They do a wonderful job on alterations and they even repaired car floor mats and can create almost anything - costumes, party dresses. However, Dry Cleaning is where they really do well. My all cotton dress shirts normally cost $150-$200 and have noticed that Dry Cleaning them vs. launder helps them last 2-3X longer. Here's what you'll find: A. Good customer service B. Attention to detail, will really try (even run a second cleaning) to clean stains or marks which you point out. They pre-scrub my collars and I've seen an improvement with older shirts. C. Care when pressing, buttons not destroyed or chipped and collars very even. If a button is loose, they will usually reinforce for free if you ask. They have upped the quality of dry cleaning since Tho owned the place herself, the partnership is a welcome addition. Definitely give them a try for dry cleaning, I have posted their current pricing. They are located on Bascom Avenue near Apricot Avenue.

    Moreover, the prices at AJ Alterations are very reasonable, especially considering Kathy does all of the work herself.

    I have had such a positive experience working with Michelle's Cleaners and could not recommend them…read moremore. I have a small business selling vintage and preloved bridal dresses so I was very careful in selecting a dry cleaning business that would provide the level of service and care that I needed. Michelle herself has been so kind and knowledgeable, making sure that all my wedding dresses (many are delicate) are well taken care of. I look forward to many more years of working with Michelle and her team!

    I had an extremely disappointing experience with Michelle's Cleaners…read more I was staying at a hotel after traveling internationally for nearly two weeks and sent several items of clothing to Michelle's Cleaners specifically so I would have clean clothes to wear on my flight home. When my pants were returned, the drawstring had been completely shredded and the surrounding fabric was damaged. I have photos documenting the condition of the pants when they were returned to me. What made the situation even more disappointing was how the company handled the damage. My initial response from the cleaner was to suggest that the pants never had a drawstring in the first place. When I spoke with the owner, rather than working with me to resolve the issue, she repeatedly interrupted me and would not allow me to fully explain the situation. She insisted that the hotel should reimburse me and told me that I needed to leave the damaged pants at the hotel's front desk. There were several problems with that solution. First, any credit to my hotel bill would go directly to my company, so that would not reimburse me personally for the ruined pants. My goal was simply to be reimbursed so I could replace an item that was damaged while in their care. Second, the hotel was not responsible for the damage caused while my clothing was being cleaned. And third, I was traveling home after being away for two weeks and did not have another clean outfit available to wear home. I tried to explain this, but the owner continued interrupting me rather than allowing me to finish. Mistakes can happen in any business. What matters is how a company handles them. Unfortunately, in this case, I felt that Michelle's Cleaners was more interested in avoiding responsibility than resolving the problem fairly. Based on both the damage to my clothing and the way the situation was handled, I cannot recommend this business.

    I had a white cotton/viscose dress, which was dry clean only, and it had 3-year old stains due to…read moremy own neglect. I figured I would wait to get it cleaned next time I wore it.. and I just did not have an opportunity to wear it again until now, 3 years later. It's a very special dress to me, so I consulted Holiday Cleaners to see if they could get it out. I messaged them through yelp before going in, and David the owner was very quick to respond and gave me assurance that he would take good care of my dress. I took the dress in and they started with dry cleaning first, but that didn't get the stains out. They suggested a method to get the stains out that was outside of the suggested care label, and David took his time to talk to me on the phone to walk me through the process. He was very upfront with the risks and cared enough to ask me my comfort level on how far to push to get the stains out. They successfully got the stains out and my dress looks good as new! The whole process only lasted 2 days!!! I dropped off the dress on Tuesday afternoon, and the dress had gone through dry cleaning, stain removal and finishing touches by Thursday afternoon. All the staff I have interacted with have also been so nice and friendly - David, Irene, Lisa. They also have a neat system that you can use to track your progress. TLDR I recommend Holiday Cleaners for their responsiveness, care, honesty, and timeliness. They got a 3 year old stain out of my dry clean-only white dress effectively and efficiently!

The clothes always come back clean, fresh, and beautifully folded. This service has been absolutely worth the money because it saves me so much time each week. I no longer have to spend hours doing laundry, and I can focus on more important things. I highly recommend Holiday Cleaners to anyone looking for a convenient, reliable, and professional laundry service. I'll definitely continue using them!

    Hemmed my long skirts perfectly. I would say it was worth the price and the service was great…read more Finished in just a few days and I am so happy with the new length. Thank you.

    I wish I could find the photos I'd taken back when my partner picked up our faux feather bed…read more(earlier this year) from NextGen, but alas, they're nowhere to be found. What I'd like to point out first, is that the super kind human who took our order was absolutely that: super kind. My partner and I felt good about our research and choice of NextGen, and the wire rack piled to the top with comforters, mattress pads and other bedding only furthered our confidence. Sadly, once we removed the bed from the bag, I felt confused that perhaps the wrong item had been picked up. It looked nearly identical to when we'd first brought it to NextGen, but with quite a few more strands of (different lengths) of hair stuck to it throughout. Secondly, almost every quilted square of the bed had faux filling bunched up in a variety of balls--I had originally purchased the square patterned bed to avoid this problem once cleaned. :( I wanted to bring my item back immediately, however, my health at the time did not allow it. I gave two stars for the kind atmosphere. P.s. I am attaching a very faded receipt, with the word, "wait" written at the top, because I felt it so important to write a review. Especially if it helps future costly mishaps occur.
