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.

I'd really like to get my pants back, but they don't answer their phone, they have no voice mail, and they have no website/email. What am I to do? How can I get my pants back?

They mentioned they made a mistake in the beginning, but even so they should call me first to confirm the price change, instead of making decisions on their own to increase the price. The laundry quality is mediocre at most.

Title: Beware of Unexplained Upcharges and Price Surprises…read more From the moment I called to inquire about their prices to the shocking moment I received my bill, it was a rollercoaster of frustration and disappointment. Let me start with the initial phone call. I called to ask about their prices for dry cleaning a few garments, and I was given what seemed like a reasonable quote. However, upon picking up my clothes, I was handed a bill that was nearly double the quoted price. When I asked about the discrepancy, the staff noted "additional services" that were never mentioned during the phone call or during drop off--which was a price quote still higher than the price provided during the phone call. What infuriates me the most is the lack of transparency. If there are additional charges, customers deserve to know about them upfront, not be blindsided at the checkout counter.

It's a pretty spacious design with several washers and dryers of different sizes and relatively clean space, also not too busy for a Sunday morning. Could definitely use clearer instructions though, especially for how to dry beyond 10 minutes --we luckily figured it out but it might be frustrating for first timers. Also major tip: it's cash only for the card which we didn't know ahead of time and there was no-one from management on site to help. We are incredibly grateful to Yafa for generously spotting us with enough so my friend could get everything done before having to catch her flight. When we tried to pay them back--they gifted her some fresh bread instead! Doing laundry never felt so heart warming and we left feeling that this laundromat's best feature is proximity to a place that believes that kindness is just as nourishing as the food that they serve.

He walked over the day before they were due to be ready, just to see if they were done early. He was met with "they'll be done when I said they'll be done." The next day when I went to pick up the clothes, the store was open, but there was no one at the counter. I rang the bell several times, called out, and a few other customers entered the store behind me. Finally, I walked to the back to see if someone was there (my thought being, what if someone is hurt?!) Finally a woman poked her head up and immediately yelled at me "for being in a private area." I'm not asking to be treated like a Queen. But basic decency is something I look for in a local business. With so many options in the Somerville area, we'll take our business somewhere else that treats us with a little respect and cordiality.

Their prices aren't the lowest around, but this is a great example that you get what you pay for; I've yet to have an issue with stains not coming out or clothes coming back from Clevergreen smelling of chemicals like you had them cleaned by a Halliburton fracking operation. The one time there was a mixup with my clothes (actually, I think it was the first time I brought anything to this cleaner...) they went the extra mile to make sure I got my clothes back as quickly as possible, apologized for the inconvenience, and took the charge off my bill. On the negative side, some of the comments I've read about the customer service from folks other than the owner (Fashad) aren't totally wrong. Sometimes when you walk in, there's no one at the counter and you have to wait for someone to come from the back of the shop...and that someone doesn't always seem too pleased. When I weigh the pros and the cons, I think the pros win here. I've had so many challenges dealing with other cleaners that I just don't get from these folks. Granted, they're not perfect, but I think they're sincere in wanting to do a good job and, yes, the screaming Liberal in me loves feeling like I'm doing something good by working with an environmentally friendly dry cleaner, so....maybe I'm a little biased....

Fast forward to the time of getting it tailored. I was charged $115, and the dress was still too big on me. I was in a time crunch and couldn't explore other options or dispute the lack of quality of work, but I spent way too much for a job not well done. She said she couldn't take out more fabric because of the style of dress, but when I went to the wedding (swimming in the dress, mind you) I ran into a seamstress that was invited who ended up pinning my dress in the back and saying how easy of a fix it would have been. On top of it all, tailored outfits can only be paid in cash. I live in Georgia and had to fly in for the wedding and pick up my dress, and honestly forgot about this policy, but it doesn't really make sense since there is a sign that clear says "major credit cards accepted". She kindly took my card, but I could tell it was an issue. I don't think I'll be back- I definitely paid a lot for for adjustments that weren't made and excuses for not doing the work.
