I hadn't planned to visit a laundromat today but when a dryer breaks down, it doesn't always give…read moreyou a warning. So here I am hauling two heavy baskets of damp towels and clothing. I throw the clothes in asap as there are a few people here and I didnt want to have to wait for an empty dryer, if I dawdled. After my dryers are rolling, I get a look around. The front section has water on the floor. Unsure if one of the machines leaked or if someone dropped a water bottle. Just glad I had no need to use those machines. The rest of the space looks like every other laundromat that is not attended too during the day. The price on the dryers is right. The prices on the washers seem right but I came with washed clothing. I didn't need to buy supplies but the price seemed right. There is a soda vending machine available. The laundromat is in a strip mall so there is lots of parking. A Chinese takeout is a couple storefronts away, if you need food. Conveniently located in Main Street. I guess if I am doing laundry in Sun Prairie, I would end up here again.

Open early like 6 am and they have the big front loaders too if that's how you roll. The dryers…read morework good and they have plenty of folding space.

It helps if you bring along someone to help you open the door if you are otherwise occupied with carrying your heavy laundry basket. Don't count on being able to snag a rolling cart, customers love to grab these and hang on to them until their loads of laundry are through. It is clean enough and a little cheaper than other places. There is very little floor space with the washers, dryers and people trying to do laundry and fold clothes, so if someone in your party just loves to run multiple laps around the laundromat, they might find themselves tripping over someone. I didn't see the dry cleaning operation, but the laundromat does have an office on the premise.

I want to be sitting, reading a book or working on other things. I also think a bathroom would be nice? And if there is one, it is not labeled.

I have been coming to Klinke Cleaners for about 2 years, I haven't had any big problems and the service has always been ok... Then I came in about a year ago and a lady named Kelly helped me! She was the nicest person I had ever met there and left me feeling like I shouldn't have came unless she was the one helping me!! She helped me to my car because I had a lot of clothes and was really funny also. I would definitely recommend she be the manager and she knew answers to every question I had. I also liked how clean the store was, it was nice and tidy. Kelly left me with an impression that was so good I have only came to her since and I couldn't be happier with her awesome customer service!!! read more

I arrived in a hurry today with several new dress shirts. Kelly was very kind and greeted me with a smile as I rushed in. She took the time and assisted me with taking all the pins out and tags off before sending me off, assuring they would be taken care of. Great customer service and my clothes are alway done right!

The Christmas holiday went by and soon it was the end of January with still no call. At first I didn't think the timeline was odd because of the holiday. I called for a status update and could not get a clear answer. Eventually after multiple calls I was able to reach the tailor in March... who informed me that there were no instructions for the alteration so nothing had been done. I attempted to explain the alteration over the phone but was told that I needed to explain the job in person and that I needed to make an appointment. I made the 45 minute drive to the "appointment" where the tailor was hostile, gave me my jacket, and told me to leave. Also they lied about dry cleaning it, which I would have paid for. So in summary they had my jacket for 4 months, did absolutely nothing and returned it to me in the same condition it was left. At least they didn't ruin it or lose it.

I had a very disappointing experience at Express Alterations. The owner was extremely rude and…read moreunprofessional throughout the interaction. What bothered me most was the inconsistency in how customers were treated. I was told that I had to pay the full amount upfront before any work would be done, but while I was there, another customer was told she could pay when she picked up her clothes. The pricing also seemed arbitrary, and I was given the impression that prices were being made up as they went along rather than following a clear, consistent policy. Being treated differently from other customers and spoken to disrespectfully left a very bad impression. Customer service should be fair and consistent for everyone. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here, and I would not recommend this business.

They were still way too big. She tersely told me that "This happens all the time" that I tell her where I need the waistline to be and then not be happy about it. So untrue and happened only two times and it was completely her poor work. I just walked out knowing I would never come back. Bad manners, so-so quality of work and her below average English is not a reason to patronize her. Take your money and clothes somewhere else.
