    Receipt.  Oddly, she listed clothing brands.  Maybe to justify price gouging.

    Dry cleaning is dry cleaning. But definitely not worth $170 for 5 items. No pricing was shared when I dropped off my clothes. Went to pick them up and paid $169 for five articles of clothing. Something about this seems very dishonest to me.

    AFTER- just stunning!

    Wedding dress experience with Crystal Cleaning Center- I took my 40 year old wedding dress in to be pressed. You can see, some of the lace yellowed. (It was preserved in a special packed box too!). They cleaned and pressed my dress so now my daughter can wear it and will look stunning. I will be taking my dress back to be cleaned and packed away-the new way, so I'll update then. This is a very knowledgeable cleaner. They have been in business for a very long time. I called a number of cleaners and got quite unsatisfactory answers to CAN YOU CLEAN/PRESS MY OLD WEDDING DRESS? - like "we can press it depending on how big it is"??? What!? This cleaner asked if it had oxidized? I didn't know oxidized meant yellowed. I was impressed from the start! I am so happy with my dress and how kind they were. Even got it to me a week early!

    Detail.

    I hired Lynette to press my daughter's very elaborate quinceanera dress. The dress had cascading layers of tulle and lot of detail/sequins. The dress was so big that it did not fit in the largest gown garment bag I could find. I brought the dress to Lynette a week before my daughter's big event. The dress was ready for pick up right on time. When I picked it up, Lynette asked me to inspect the dress to make sure I was happy. I was ... the dress looked so beautiful! Because the dress was so big, Lynette and one of her employees built a garment out of a light, thin material that kept the dress from wrinkling while I transported it. She and her employee helped me carry it to my car and carefully lay it down in my SUV. I am so glad I found Lynette, and I was right to trust her with my daughter's fancy, expensive dress. Lynette is meticulous, careful and it is no wonder she is an institution in the garment care world. The price was right around what I would have expected for such a monster project. If I ever have another fancy gown that I need to get pressed, I will absolutely use Lynette again. She is also a wonderful, pleasant lady.

    They're a member of all the dry cleaner associations. I think a Yelp sticker is missing here though.

    It has literally been decades since I last used Crystal Cleaning Center. As I've been back to my childhood home, I have been reacquainting myself with all the new local businesses . . . and some old familiar ones. I was pleasantly surprised to meet the daughter of the original owners of Crystal Cleaning Center, Lynnette Watterson, operating this wonderful dry cleaning and laundry company. It is located in Crystal Springs Village, previously named Crystal Springs Shopping Center, in the Highlands-Baywood Park area of San Mateo. In 1971, this area was practically "the country." There was a Safeway, a few open-air shops, a Sprouse-Reitz five-and-dime variety store, and Crystal Cleaning Center. Guess what? The Safeway is still here (nicely upgraded), a dozen or more new stores, restaurants, and whole office buildings have been added (long ago) . . . and Crystal Cleaning Center still going strong! I brought my Ermenegildo Zegna shirt to be dry cleaned and Lynnette took one look and explained, "all these mother-of-pearl buttons need to be protected, 50 cents per button." First of all, I didn't even know my buttons were real mother-of-pearl. I like being educated by a professional. Lynnette then patiently showed me the velcro button protectors they use and demonstrated them. There was a difficult red wine stain on my sleeve they removed, and at my request, completed the dry cleaning in one day. My Zegna shirt looked brand new! As I looked around and noticed the company in operation, the quality of clothing they cleaned there, and listened to Lynnette proudly share the history and art of their dry cleaning, I realized . . . Crystal Cleaning Center is like an auto body shop for Ferraris, but for designer clothing instead. Crystal Cleaning Center is expensive, they always have been. Yet, I like my special clothing treated like a Ferrari, it makes me feel good. For that feeling and the results, I think it's worth a few extra dollars. After writing this review, I can imagine having a real Ferrari, like a GT4Lusso. At least I have a nice, freshly dry cleaned, Italian shirt I could wear to drive it. Grazie, Lynnette. Buongiorno!

    Take your clothes in, and get them back in better condition than when they were new. You absolutely get what you pay for.
