I'd definitely recommend this place, it's pretty clean, in a good area, and they have lots of washers and dryers so I've never have to worry about having to wait. Prices start at $5.00 a load for washers and $1 per 20 minutes for the dryers, not exactly the cheapest thing but compared to paying for a laundry service I think it's a great deal. Also rent isn't cheap in Boston so I think the prices are very fair when you take that into account. Quarters only, but there is an ATM and quarter machine inside. I've only seen the quarter machine run out once but someone came in to refill it ~10 minutes after it ran out so not a huge deal. I usually try to bring my own quarters though so that I can guarantee having change without having to wait.

I hope in the future the laundry people can think of something to do in this situation so that this doesn't happen again. The chlorine gas production is potentially fatal or can cause bad injuries.

On top of that, there were obvious new stitches added that hadn't been there before, and they didn't even remotely match the fabric or color of the knit. I also brought in a trench coat, which came back with all the same stains untouched -- honestly, for the best considering what happened to the dress. When I returned to show them the damage, there was no apology, no accountability, and no attempt to offer compensation. I had to request a refund myself. The employee handed it to me and simply walked away without even acknowledging the inconvenience. This place used to be excellent before the ownership change. Now it's an absolute mess. Please do not trust them with valuable clothing, especially anything sentimental like a wedding dress.

Columbus Cleaners is the BEST. Mano especially is extremely professional and always comes through when I need him. My items are never lost and they are always in great condition whenever I receive the final product. I also would like to give a shout out to Billy. I got to know him during my time at The Girard Apartments and he introduced me to Columbus Cleaners. From this introduction, I in turn introduced Columbus Cleaners to all of my residents at the Girard and they were all very satisfied. read more

I took a pair of jeans to be altered there. They cut it about 2 inches too short and told me that it was cool, 'like Michael Jackson.' Even though you could see my ankles, they said that it was the style now. I reached out to the owner/manager 3 times but never heard back. The jeans are not wearable, and I will never go there again. read more

When I called to ask about this, I was told that it's "normal" for the hem to fall out after some time and that I needed to be more careful with handling the garment. I did not mishandle the garment beyond standard wear by any means. I was also told I'd need to pay again to have them re-hemmed (they did offer a discount). I took the garment back to be re-hemmed at a discount, only for the stitch to fall out again a few months later. I will not be bringing any items back here to be tailored. I expected professional work that lasts -- instead, I got a hem that failed almost immediately and a response that did not take any accountability. Not what I would expect for basic alterations.

I discovered Linh Cleaners and have been a loyal customer ever since. However, this loyalty did not come without its challenges and drama. Linh would often make excuses for the extra stains found on your clothes while in his care, whether a sweater was ruined or had particles on it or if he misled you after you provided specific instructions on how you wanted your jacket or pants hemmed. Linh tends to do as he pleases, and when he damages your belongings or fails to clean them properly, it's somehow your fault. He also loves to pass judgment on you if you are a person of color based on the experiences of other people of color who have frequented his business. For someone like me who brings him clothes every week for dry cleaning and outfits to be tailored, he often makes remarks like, "Oh, you are fancy," "You party a lot, or You like money." Unbeknownst to him, I am in ministry, and as a minister, I take great pride in keeping my shirts clean and my suits fresh. I ignored this because I needed my clothes cleaned, and he was a 10-minute walk from my home. After six brand new jackets were sent to him to be tailored four, he did his way, ignoring my instructions. He soiled a brand new white collar shirt and said, "It was the material or something I wore." Two brand new chinos with tags sent for him to be tailored ended up with oil stains on them, and he said I didn't notice the stains when I purchased them (Yea, I know)! All of the stuff he ruined he never offered a refund. LINH is a lousy businessman, liar, racist, and narcissistic person. If you value your belongings and work hard for them, avoid doing business at all costs. He will never admit his wrongs and would rather lose business. Why did it take me three years? Because I do not like change, and I am an optimistic person who is loyal to a fault! But its 2025 And I chose me! Do not bring your clothes to LINH CLEANERS. He doesn't care about your stuff, just the money.

The couple who run this shop are really nice, and they do excellent repairs as well. Also, when I'm walking my dog, they don't mind if I bring him inside with me when I pick up or drop off.
