If I could give Jeff Fishman & his Gold Medal Cleaners 100 stars I would!! I had a house fire &…read morewhile we got out of the house safely, the inside suffered much smoke damage. Within a couple of hours, Jeff came to my house & told me to gather a couple of days worth of clothing for emergency immediate cleaning. My warmest everyday coat was buried under a pile of rubble. It looked like it had been through World War III. Jeff didn't even flinch when I handed it to him. I received our smattering of clothing from him a few days later in exemplary condition. My coat looked better than ever. You'd never have known it had been totally trashed a few days earlier. Our reconstruction company was beginning to come in & pack up our house & Jeff & his crew were there to take all (ALL- yikes) of my clothing, shoes, some of my fiance's things (his closet wasn't affected due to its location) & our stuffed animals. We then had another rush job since we had a burial to attend. Again, all our necessary items were all set & ready to go. All of our clothes, coats, shoes & hats have been cleaned to perfection!! Absolutely no trace of smoke!!! I'm so incredibly grateful. Oh - another huge plus: they recycle the hangers! You can't get any better than Gold Medal Cleaners!!!

I first dropped off a coat last year and had it relined, which was just over $80.00. When I took…read morethe coat home, there were two huge holes in the lining. I wanted to give them a second chance, and dropped off two basic cotton tops, and asked them to hem them by two inches. Nothing special, just straight across. When I paid, the total was $80.00. To hem two cotton tops. I am dumbfounded by that price. I think it's important to pay people for their work, but $40.00 to hem a basic cotton top is unbelievable. It's my fault for not checking the price first, but I had no idea it would be so extremely expensive.

My mom couldn't understand why I would drive an hour to get my wedding dress altered but when she saw the quality of the work she was impressed.

I came in two and a half weeks before my wedding that the dress was ready 10 days later without an extra charge.

Recently, I brought in a pair of Bermuda shorts to Nura that were way too large in the leg area,…read moreapparently due to the brand's sizing and fit. Since I ordered them online, I had no idea just how oversized they were until I tried them on in-person. Honestly, they reminded me of maternity pants, which isn't really my style! I went on Yelp looking for an experienced tailor, and used their quote request process to contact someone, Nura contacted me right away with an estimate of how much it was going to cost. She tailored the shorts exactly to my specifications, took in a couple of inches, and now they fit perfectly. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. And of all of the tailor's I've ever gone to in my entire lifetime, Nura is definitely the BEST!!

She explained that she went to advanced schooling but beyond being technically very good she is simply an artist.

When I got home and looked at the blanket, he did such a bad job. the lines were not straight, they were not parallel. Parts of the fabric could have been folded down for a better appearance, but he did not bother. I am really unhappy with this.

What a shock to be charged 3X what I paid the first time and also more than double what the dress cost to buy just to shorten it. Maybe $88 is the going rate now to do an alteration shorten dresses now at all places, but it shocked me and another customer who overheard and was there at the same time. Beware. Get a quote before doing any alteration work here. Two stars for the surprise and sticker shock.

There are some questionable 1 star reviews here for Kenilworth Cleaners…read more One person writes that the clothes smell like "chemicals" and therefore it can't be "organic" or environmentally friendly cleaning. This is poorly informed. All cleaning uses chemicals. The way you clean, is you have to use a lipophilic agent that removes dirt and oils from clothes. There's no magical way around that. The important question is whether castile or plant-based cleaning agents are used. In which case, that is what they use at Kenilworth Cleaners. Either way, I have been getting most of my dry cleaning done at this mom and pop shop for the past 3 years and my clothes have never smelled better, been pressed better, and have been cleaner than any other dry cleaner I've used. As for the second 1 star review that says "the owner was rude because she asked me to call back later because she was already helping a customer"...umm, that sounds like the caller herself needs a 1 star review. In fact, I read through her reviews on her profile and she goes around town giving everyone 1 star reviews, always asking to speak to a manager and finding out they are "rude" as well. There's an old saying about this.... The people who work at Kenilworth are absolutely wonderful. I recommend checking it out for yourself.
