I had been searching for a cleaners in Oakland, after having some pretty costly bills when going to…read moreMartinizing in Alameda. I came across Ideal Cleaners and read so many great reviews. The neon sign of the location really adds a nostalgic, classic appeal. I had one pair of vintage Levi's cleaned after having acquired them on the resale market, and had challenges with getting them cleaned and thoroughly deodorized; even after three wash cycles, an overnight distilled white vinegar soak, and a direct sunlight air dry. After all that didn't work, I decided to bring my denim to Ideal for a final attempt. I dropped off on Wednesday and asked for Friday pick-up which the owner said was possible. I called on Thursday to see if an earlier pick-up was possible, and provided my ticket number to which I got a call back after checking on my piece. I was told that Friday morning would allow for service completion- which was fine. I picked the denim up first thing on Friday morning, and the scent I was trying to get out is completely gone. The quick turn around, friendly service and supporting a local business, Ideal is a great choice. For my one pair of denim, I paid $8. This is more than reasonable. Great service, quick turn around and much better than other cleaners. I will be going to Ideal for my pieces, and am interested in having a cleaning done on bigger pieces I have. Suggesting for anyone looking for a good cleaner to try Ideal. To note, with current construction in downtown Oakland, getting there is tougher than usual. And for new customers, push the door hard, it felt like it wasn't unlocked when I first came in. ahah

I think I just found my new cleaners for 2026. I came across this location when in the area and…read morenoticed the warmth of the location and its open doors, as I passed on a cold day. I had a couple dress shirts and a pair of pleated Dries pants I needed dry cleaned. So, I decided to give them a try. I was welcomed upon entry, and a lady quickly asked me for my number, like she had always known me. I said, "I am not in your system". She said, "that's okay, I can add you". I provided my name, number and email. Then I gave her my two shirts and pair of pants and asked for the items to be ready by Monday, having brought them in on a Friday. She quickly said, "I'll put a rush on them, so they are ready on Saturday, but you can pick them up on Monday, no problem." It was so easy. She said, "we'll see you on Monday, sweetheart, thank you for coming in to see us." As I left, I got a text message tracking my order that I just dropped off and an email. In the text, I had a link to track progress of my order and the email gave me the option to add a credit card on file for future cleanings. On Saturday, like clockwork, I got a text notifying me of my order being completed- yes, in less than 24hrs after drop off. I did mention that I needed the garments cleaned for a funeral, which could have prompted the rush order. The two shirts and on pant came out just under $20. Pick up was super easy and very quick. I kept my pick-up tag and with one scan it was done. I am hoping to go back to try their alterations services. Great service, value and speed. They also have excellent hours, and are open 6 days a week, closed on Sundays. Try them out, if you need something dry cleaned. My pieces were perfect when I got them back.

I had first called over the phone to inquire about wedding dresses and the lady said to come by so she could see the fabric before deciding (versus just saying yes to get the money!).

The turnover time was less than 2 weeks, you get a text saying when it's ready for pick up, and they give you hangers and bags for your items. Overall, I'm very pleased with pricing, speed, and quality of work and would recommend this shop to others.
