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

    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.

    Very clean and well maintained!…read more Situated in a little shopping center in Belmont on El Camino Real, this laundromat is well maintained. A few eateries are in this shopping center, too, which is a plus. The dryers in the building where I live were not working so I had to take my wet laundry to an area laundromat. Yelpers did not disappoint! I found this laundromat on Yelp with great reviews. The dryers are huge! My loads were dried in under 50 minutes. The washing machines looked large too, very clean. The counters are clean for folding and they have lots of carts to move your loads around from wash to dryer. The washers and dryers take both coins and credit cards. A nice man helped me turn the dryers on because he could tell I was confused, ha-ha! Swipe your card select your timing then just below the payment module is where you push the heat level and "start" button. A regular clothes load should go 45-50 minutes. $0.25 every 5 minutes. Large loads I would go to 60 minutes. There's not any seating other than a couple benches in the back near the detergent dispensers. Most peeps sit in their cars, which I did. Definitely will return if the need comes up again!

    I've been using Mulberrys wash & fold delivery service for several years now. When my cheap…read morelandlords refused to replace the worn out washer & dryer in the building and the machines kept eating hard to find quarters back in the pandemic, I did the math, and Mulberrys monthly subscription wash & fold delivery was only 12% more than I was paying in quarters for laundry on a monthly basis. Let alone cost of detergent, lugging it up and down the stairs to the garage laundry room, or the most dreaded... folding of laundry. The marginal cost increase comes with perfectly washed & folded clothes and linens. They even match the socks! The pickup is easy to schedule via text or the app.Select the day of week to pick up and two businesses days later it's returned. Their customer service is excellent, and I'm pretty sure I am on their best driver, Erik's, route. He texts on pick up/drop off days first thing in the morning with an approximate window, is always on time, and brings my bags of laundry up a couple of floors to my front door. My back isn't the greatest, so I'm not always physically well suited to carry a few big bags up to my floor. I have seen other wash & fold services leave it in the lobby and we've had packages stolen before, so I appreciate that I don't have to worry someone is snagging my laundry if I'm in a meeting, I definitely recommend saving yourself some time, and use this great service.

Many that are available are blinking with malfunction errors. I picked hair out of one very small machine (see photo) -- $6 for a little load -- bc nothing better was available. About 10 minutes into the cycle, it malfunctioned. It just stopped and said there was a "communication error." Luckily, I got the door opened and transferred my items to another machine. The floor was already soaking wet - even more so as I struggled to transfer my sodden clothing. I had to pay *another* $6 to start the new machine. THEN it gave me a message stating that I had to insert more money for an "extended wash." I'm assuming bc the clothes weighed so much at this point. There is no in-site attendant and no contact information posted to get money back. I had to try 3 dryers until I found one that worked. By then, I was so frustrated I didn't realize it cost 2x as much as the type I had been trying to use. Machines here cost $6 - $12 per load. Many are broken. There is no attendant and nothing with which to clean counters or floors. It smells like fish paste, cigarette smoke, and cheap, over-fragranced detergent. You would be better off going to the nearest body of water and beating your clothes against a rock.
