Outstanding dry cleaning & alterations & in an extremely fast time. The proprietors are absolutely lovely & always going the extra mile.

I've had patches sewn on my jacket by them three times the first two times were excellent and very inexpensive I think $10 per patch but on the third one it was like they intentionally put it on crooked I didn't say anything but it was frustrating because it was obviously not how it was supposed to go on unless they had a lazy eye lol and now that I think about it there was no regard when they put the second patch on because they could've easily placed it to where it didn't sew shut the inside pocket but it was like they deliberately placed it to where it would ruin the inside pocket. I guess if you give them clear precise instructions it wouldn't have happened but I just always forget that common sense isn't so common these days. I will say despite my frustrations the stitching was good. read more

Be VERY clear about how you want something altered. I asked them to please even put the uneven hem of my midi dress, he asked me how much length I wanted taken off. I said no, I want the hem to be evened out, no length off (as much as possible). He even pinned it to only be about half an inch shorter. The dress I received back was a good 3-4 inches shorter and is now not heavy enough to keep the zipper from puckering oddly in the back. I called to tell them I was unhappy and they tried to argue with me. The workmanship is good, and they've been fine in the past, but I am disappointed in how they handled this situation. read more

The pricing here is absolutely predatory. Actually gross how much they're charging. I've gone a few times now and unfortunately will have to drive to a further away cleaner because they're charging almost 13 dollars per garment to dry clean. The work done is fine but when I'm dropping of basics for stains I'm not expecting to pay what they are charging. They have a right to charge whatever they want but I also have a right to voice my opinion. My old dry cleaner charged 6.50 for the same service btw. So this is double that and I moved to Portland from a more expensive city so that's really saying something. read more

Had to drop off a last minute shirt to get pressed. I didn't notice that the turnaround time was 3 days but I needed it done next day. No worries. They got 'er done read more

I've been going here for a decade and have always been happy with their cleaning. They have cleaned clothes, curtains, comforters, and large jackets for me. I adore the woman who owns it-- she's always kind. Despite what other people have said in their reviews she speaks perfect English. The place just got a huge renovation and is clean and efficient. read more

I have lived in this neighborhood for a very long time (40 years plus) and I used to have all my work shirts laundered there. Recently, I brought in off-white curtains we had we had made decades ago, but until now had not gotten around to cleaning them. So I brought them, into Certi-Clean who as usual did a fantastic job -- plus, we got them back in under 3 days. Very reliable service and handy to have it be so close! read more

I have had nothing but good experiences here. Took an older pendleton sweater in they hadn't been cleaned in years, came back pristine! Success with down comforters and will be coming back read more

My old drycleaners (who were just o.k.) closed so I was in search of a new relationship. I've taken my clothes to Ford Cleaners (cheap but you get what you pay for) but I was hoping for something closer to home - Yelp! to the rescue! I must have driven by this place 1000 times but it's so nondescript, I've never noticed it. I've even been INSIDE the petstore next door but never paid attention. They could use some fresher signage with more information . . . like, their business hours which are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (LOVE it!). They are open on Saturdays, too, although I neglected to ask him the hours when I stopped by to pick up my order. Part of the reason I forgot was that I was refreshingly bewildered by their service. My pickup was for Saturday and everything was ready but he wasn't satisfied with how a blouse had turnedout - he wanted to redo it for free and include it with my next order (which I was dropping off). Wow! I am loving it. Add to that the fact that they have off street parking - yes, their own parking lot! - right on Division. Makes it very easy for the customer along with the rightly priced, excellent service. I'll be on a first name basis with these folks in no time. read more

My husband's suit was very clearly ripped by a machine or something from this place, which he noticed when trying them on at home right after dry cleaning. When we took it in, they acted like such a thing was not possible and didn't even offer a refund for the cost of dry cleaning, let alone reparations for the $250 suit pants. I feel bad posting such a bad review for a place, but I wanted anyone else to beware in case it happens to them. read more

I brought in a dress with some food spots on the front. I specifically pointed them out. They were marked with tape so they would be treated. They weren't. They refused to retry and refused to refund my money and was told "Nothing comes for free." Yet apparently not doing a job has a more than $10 fee. Addendum: I just hand washed the spots with cold water and detergent and got them out myself. Apparently things do come for free: my money to them for work not done and me for doing the work myself. read more

Last summer, I got the invite of all invites. Dinner with the corporate board of directors and all the VP's. The big time. Uncharted waters for a lowly engineer... or my boss... and probably his boss. [Insert further hyperbole here.] And yes! An opportunity to wear my one and only suit that was not a wedding or funeral! So I'm surviving the dinner and am having a great conversation with a kind gentleman who has had a long and fascinating career. He's getting deep into a story, the hands are waving, and... a full glass of pinot noir in my lap (which was ironic since I was the only guy at the table not drinking red wine). After refusing the kind offer for the man to buy me a new suit, I had to figure out where I was going to get it cleaned. [Fast-forward 6 months of the suit hanging on our coat rack by the front door.] On my way to the grocery store a few Saturdays ago, we dropped my one and only suit off at Certi-Clean because (1) the place we used to patronize on Powell closed and (2) it didn't seem like there was a consensus amazing dry cleaner in Southeast. Certi-Clean did a good job (though the suit was not heavily stained). They had it done by the following Tuesday and only charged $8.99 to clean both the jacket and pants. I dig. read more

I know, I know, I should just give up the balsamic and red wine if I want white whites, blah blah blah. Experience here has been a little mixed. I've had a few items hemmed (I assume they send these out) and they came back quickly, looking great. There have been a couple of cases however when they haven't been able to get spots out, and on one occassion they did a weird press-job on one of the mister's shirts, and it was never the same. That said, we've had *lots* of cleaning done here, so clearly the few problems haven't been enough to make us go elsewhere. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The people here are not only dishonest like it has been stated in other reviews but also very rude. All they care about is getting their money. Will not be returning. read more

These guys are cheap (recently cleaned and pressed seven shirts, two jackets, and a pair of trousers for $29.75), effective, and conveniently located. So why the three stars? Most seriously, when I gave them a drop-off of two shirts and a jacket and was told two business days, they were not at all ready three business days later. I managed to get my shirts just in time for an interview, but talk about a garrison finish. They provided no warning that they would be delayed, either. Also, today, when I came in six hours after they said everything would be ready, they asked me "what color are the pants?" and spent awhile looking for them. They found them, but the fact that they had to ask does not inspire confidence in their work. Still, better that then trying to guess which ones were mine. I wouldn't mind waiting a little longer for everything to arrive or paying a little more if it meant receiving exactly what I paid for at the time specified on the ticket. read more

I take all of my dry cleaning here, and I've never had a problem. My clothing gets a lot of abuse, and they always do a great job cleaning stains as much as possible and they are great at pressing trousers and lapels. In fact, they get a beautiful lapel roll on all of my jackets, even the ones that didn't come with beautiful lapel rolls originally. When one has a lot invested in a suit, it's really difficult to trust a dry cleaner. My first few trips here were worrying ones, but I had no cause nor reason. For men's clothing, especially good suits and jackets, this place is a great one. read more

I will never return to this establishment again. After three visits, I've experienced the following: -Three burnt shirts -Four broken buttons -Shirts starched after asking for no starch -Pants and shirts returning dirty after being 'cleaned' Would avoid if at all possible. read more

I am female...but I like oxford type pressed shirts. I take my shirts here for laundering. The prices are reasonable and the creases are excellent. I've always had a good experience here. read more

Dishonest. Check your brands before you leave. They staff cannot communicate in English so good luck telling them what you want.

Reliable cleaning. Be sure to have your ticket, as they may not be able to find your item without it- but that is not an complaint. I consider it very reasonable. This is my go-to cleaners and I will be using them to hem some jeans shortly. read more

Took my dresses to be dry cleaned. First, the place looks really unorganized and dirty, it looks like they never clean their store. Second, the lady that works at the front doesn't greet you, looks upset, and is not kind. Those all would have been okay but I got my dress back and my white dress was covered in hair. I mean, covered and all intertwined into the fabric that I had to use tweezers to pull them out. Some were animal hair and some were human hair. Ugh I was so disgusted. If my dress wasn't white I wouldn't have been able to see them! Who knows what they did to my dress?!! I took my dresses to be cleaned, not to get them dirty! I'm never going back. read more

If there is one thing that I look for in a dry cleaner it is the ability to clean clothes. If there is a second thing I look for in a dry cleaner it is a lust for life. If there is a third thing I look for, it is a bowl of mints on the counter. These guys delivered across the board. I would recommended washing ANYTHING here. read more

We've been taking our cleaning there for years. The clothes always look good and they have a very fast turnaround. When we've left items in pockets, the owners have been able to get them back to us. We trust them and are really glad they are our neighborhood dry cleaners. read more

I had to get two suits cleaned last minute because I was leaving town the next day for job interviews. They were able to get the suits ready in under 24 hours. read more

Similar to other yelp reviews, the cleaner does a good job with dry cleaning, but does a horrible job with customer service. I went to get my item but was told to come later that day as it was not ready yet. read more

This was one of the best experiences I've ever had, at any store, of any kind. The lady was so sweet she help me lint roll my clothing, and told me next time to remind her, and she would do it for me. She was so thoughtful, coming up with suggestions of how I could get rid of my allergy. Whenever I'm in Portland, this will be my go to dry cleaner. read more

They added stains to the sleeves of my shirt. I asked them to fix it.. they charged me and didn't fix it. I won't be back. Don't waste your money or time. It looked like they had starch marks on the sleeves. It wasn't there when I brought in the shirt. Oh which!!! I only wore 1 other time for a job interview. She said it was my fault for having my hands on the table and writing. These sleeves have been in nothing but my jacket. It's my interview suit. I know my suit didn't ruin the sleeves because the suit is 6yr old and didn't have issues with the previous shirts I wore with it. read more

Dropped a couple Lolita dresses and a blouse off and they came back quickly (2 days) and clean. Even had a nice smell to them. I plan on bringing a couple more in. No complaints. read more

Great service every time I come in! I've been a regular here for almost two months and I won't take my clothes anywhere else.

Very pricy, $7.95 for women short sleeve blouse, and $9.95 for short summer dress... The one on 39th and Powell is much more reasonable or even the earth friendly one in the Pearl which uses environmentally safe products. read more

I have used this place for a year and a half because they are the only place somewhat convenient to where I live. Over the time as their customer, they have not been good at having things done when they say they will be done, shirts are not pressed as well as they should be and I have had multiple experiences when I look the clothes over and find damage that "it was there before". Today was the last straw. My $900 raincoat still had fuzz and for all over it and as I looked it over, there was a big oil stain on it, which I KNOW was not there when I dropped it off. Once again, I was told it was already there. When I disagreed with him, he pointed to a wear spot and said it was the same thing, which it clearly wasn't. When I argued with him, he continued to charge me and then told me he didn't want to talk to me anymore. I spend about $200 a month there and I will gladly cancel my payment and go somewhere else in order to not receive such horrible service. read more
