    I've lived in San Leandro for about 38 years and the only Drycleaner that I've used somewhat…read moreconsistently has been Dryclean USA. During my working life, I had jobs that required slacks and button up shirts, and some uniforms. Whether I needed my order back in a hurry or could wait until next week, it was always ready on time. I brought in a pair of uniform pants on Tuesday afternoon. I was surprised to see that Alan was still working. We had a nice little chat; I hadn't been in for at least five years (I've been retired for 4.5). He looked relaxed and was as congenial and friendly as ever. I had some mud smeared on a pant leg and he checked the cleaning instructions, washable. Silly me, I could have sworn that these were dry-clean only uniform pants. Goes to show how often I wear them. I asked Alan to have them ready to go Thursday morning as I needed them for an event that afternoon. I went in at 11am this morning and he had them ready for me. Cleaned and pressed and good to go. When you need dry cleaning or washing done, go when you have a few minutes to wait. There is often a line and getting frustrated at not getting instant service helps no one. Take the time to tell them about any problems regarding your clothes and listen to their suggestions. If they say, "the stain probably won't come out", then don't get all bent out of shape when it doesn't.

    Allen the owner is the BEST. I have been a customer for years. They also do alterations. One time I…read morehad an outfit I needed to travel with and he came back to open the store to give it to me. Best service with a smile and great prices.

    I brought 10 pair of pants in to be hemmed. A very simple request . One pair needed a 28" inseam…read more They others all 29". One pair had raw edges and I wanted a regular hem on them too. While I was there the gentleman place a tag on the one pair of pants that needed the 28" hem. I was told the next day all the pants were ready for pickup. I picked them up. When inspecting the pants at home, the one pair with the raw edges was not hemmed and looked like a pair of scissors was used on them making an uneven cut. I was charged for this! The one pair that was tagged for 28" measured 29 " with the tag still attached. The inseams measured differently from one leg to the other on 5 of the 10 pants. I called, explained the situation, spoke to a woman, and was told to bring them back in. I did and the woman at the counter apologized after see looked at the pants and said their regular seamstress was on vacation. This was a Friday and told me to come back Monday and the pants would be fixed. When I came in today, my one pair of pants with the raw hem was still not hemmed! The pair of pants that I wanted the shorter inseam, 28" was still 29". But a pair of my other pants that needed the inseams be redone so both inseams were even, now have been hemmed to 28"! They male counter person insisted I wanted theses pants hem to 28". Absolutely not! The pants that needed the 28" had a tag that he, himself safety pinned to the waist when I originally brought them in. He said I wanted to keep the raw edges on the one pair. If so why would I bring them in, I could cut the legs myself and save $18.0! Unbelievable attitude and very poor quality of work. I do not recommend this dry cleaner to anyone. I received a refund on the pants that were never hemmed, but not on the other pants that weren't hemmed correctly and another pair ruined by hemming too short.

    I had been searching for a cleaners in Oakland, after having some pretty costly bills when going to…read moreMartinizing in Alameda. I came across Ideal Cleaners and read so many great reviews. The neon sign of the location really adds a nostalgic, classic appeal. I had one pair of vintage Levi's cleaned after having acquired them on the resale market, and had challenges with getting them cleaned and thoroughly deodorized; even after three wash cycles, an overnight distilled white vinegar soak, and a direct sunlight air dry. After all that didn't work, I decided to bring my denim to Ideal for a final attempt. I dropped off on Wednesday and asked for Friday pick-up which the owner said was possible. I called on Thursday to see if an earlier pick-up was possible, and provided my ticket number to which I got a call back after checking on my piece. I was told that Friday morning would allow for service completion- which was fine. I picked the denim up first thing on Friday morning, and the scent I was trying to get out is completely gone. The quick turn around, friendly service and supporting a local business, Ideal is a great choice. For my one pair of denim, I paid $8. This is more than reasonable. Great service, quick turn around and much better than other cleaners. I will be going to Ideal for my pieces, and am interested in having a cleaning done on bigger pieces I have. Suggesting for anyone looking for a good cleaner to try Ideal. To note, with current construction in downtown Oakland, getting there is tougher than usual. And for new customers, push the door hard, it felt like it wasn't unlocked when I first came in. ahah
