Had a couple dress altered shorter here. The first time they charged about $30, and it worked out great. The second and more recent time they charged $88 to shorten a $40 dress. 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. read more

There are some questionable 1 star reviews here for Kenilworth Cleaners. 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. read more

This Cleaners is the best! I always go here for any alterations or dry cleaning. Although I'm currently in Boston, I save all my dry cleaning and alterations for my semiannual visits to the city! The owners are a cute, sweet couple that really knows what they are doing. They remember me after my first visit. I depend on their quality dry cleaning and alterations for my pants and suits to wear for work, interviews, and weddings! I was going to throw out 3 pairs of khaki pants because I didn't like the straight fit... but then I brought it to Julie and Jim and some how, magically, they made it a slimmer fit! I didn't even know I can do that..! Now I have 3 pairs of fitted pants and saved $$$! They really offer a better future for clothes you think has run its course.. If you like your clothes to be treated well, and you even better, this is the place to go for all your needs! They even have green, nature-friendly treatments! read more

Great service. I go to judy the owner, whom I trust with my tailoring. Would highly recommend to others.

Called to get pricing and the woman who answered the phone was unbelievably rude. She kept talking to another customer in the background while I was asking her questions. And then she kept repeating herself saying I have another customer her, call back later. No thanks. Taking my business elsewhere. read more

They claim to be an organic dry cleaners. However this is not the case. Upon talking to one of their workers they said it's really just a marketing ploy so people be aware harsh chemicals are being used on your clothes here don't fall for it. read more
