Reliable and great service. I'm a repeat customer. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a go to cleaner.

I visit Lime on a weekly basis, so far only for dry cleaning and shirt laundering. So far they've always done an excellent job; even managing to remove stains that I'd long since given up on after having washed and dried the article several times. The only issues preventing me from giving them 5 stars are 1. Their hours.. only being opened until 6pm most of the week means that one has to rush from work to there in order to get there before they close and 2. Although they always have the work done when they say they will their promise date is alway 2 days +. I understand some people griping about prices in practice but not sure why this complaint would make it into a review; their prices are quoted to you before or during drop off and if they're too high, there's certainly plenty of local competition to frequent. Reliability, friendliness and proximity to my work make me a repeat customer. read more

Lime Organic Cleaner - Laundry Services Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I used this shop to have two dresses cleaned and two pair of pants hemmed. The service was great! I asked if she could rush the pants and she had both the dresses and pants done in two days. One was a white dress with a small chocolate stain. It's cleaned, pressed and the stain is completely gone. Chocolate!!! The second dress was a pale blue and my adult daughter had gotten make- up and self tanning lotion stains on it. We were about to toss it but I figured I would try to professionally clean it and just see if it was salvageable. I was very doubtful. The dress looks like new! I can't believe it. The pants were hemmed really well and the sales woman even gave me a courtesy call to let me know everything was ready for pick up. The dresses cost just under $10 each to have cleaned. It's well worth it when the garments cost $100+ and come out looking like they've never been worn. read more

Lime Organic has been very helpful when it comes to not having to worry about your cleaners messing up your clothes. The place I went to before in South Philly used to send out its clothes and they'd always come back with broken buttons and burn marks which obviously sucks because you pay a lot for your nice clothes, and pay $3 to have shirts ruined. Lime has not given me any problems and I've been going to them for about a year now. Ellen is always nice and remembers my name. Their prices are competitive, but affordable, definitely not crazy. I got an alteration done there once too and everything went fine. Bottom line: I trust them with my clothes, which is the number one thing you should be able to do at a cleaners. read more

It took the cleaners three times sending my jackets back to the plant to get them sort of clean. The problem was that they didn't communicate to me that they jackets weren't there when I came by three times to pick them up and needless to say, I was annoyed. I finally got them to deliver the jackets after I refused to go there a fourth time and will definitely be using a different cleaner next time. read more

I very rarely review places so negatively, but I've had such mixed experiences at Lime, and most recently they have been so negative, so I can't help but write a two star review. I feel like their prices are a TAD bit more than other dry cleaners, and that's fine b/c I'm usually willing to pay extra for something I know would be a good service. And I do support all green / eco-friendly dry cleaning and business options. So I was really hoping to enjoy my experiences with Lime. Minus the price, both times I've gone there, I've had issues getting my clothes back when I needed them. One time, when I went there to pick up my clothes, I was told that my clothes weren't ready yet. And they weren't ready for two more days! The most recent time I went there, I needed a dress dry cleaned for an event. I was told that they would be ready on Thursday. I went there on Thursday, and they weren't ready. Also, my sweater's stain was not taken out. I wasn't too upset over the sweater, but I really needed the dress. Also, when I finally went to pick up my dress, they only gave me $2 discount, which I felt like was really unreasonable. I will be taking my business elsewhere. Especially since their hours also are poopy. read more

Took a new pair of black skinny jeans here to be hemmed (side note to jean designers...the majority of us are NOT a 30" inseam). Dropped them off on Monday and picked up on Thursday. They are hemmed exactly as I wanted them to be (I brought in a pair of jeans for reference and the girl behind the counter was very helpful in pinning the right length). The hem is straight and nicely done: the same quality of the original hem. And for $9.00 and being around the corner from my house, I'll continue to use Lime for my alterations. Minus one star because during the summer the husband-man and I brought in some curtains to be hemmed. They quoted us $50 per panel- $200 to hem the curtains about a foot. Sorry guys, you're a small cleaners in South Philly, not Alexander McQueen. Needless to say, we went elsewhere. read more

I have been a faithful patron of Lime Cleaner for two years since moving to Philadelphia. As other reviewers mentioned, their location is convenient and hours are manageable, if not ideal. I have only ever had positive, prompt, and friendly service experiences. But after a fiasco that involved a damaged dress, inconsiderate management, and outrageous "compromises', I will be taking my business elsewhere. I purchased a black lace sequined cocktail dress for an event in November and dropped it off at the cleaner several days after the event. I picked the dress up a week after they told me it would be ready (due to being out of town over the intermittent weekend). When I got the dress home, I took it out of the bag and discovered that ALL OF THE SEQUINS were gone. Now, bear in mind that I BOUGHT the dress because it was a sequined dress. So this wasn't a minor detail--it was a major feature of the dress. I immediately returned the dress to the cleaner and asked to speak with the manager. The cashier, Lena, has been nothing but gracious and understanding throughout this entire process. My gripe is with the manager, Lydia--whom, I should note, never ONCE called me (as she promised to multiple times) or interacted with me in person. We conducted all of our business via the store phone. She even went so far as to question whether or not "I was sure" the dress had sequins on it in the first place (to which I printed out 8x10 pictures of me wearing it in which the sequins were highly visible). To make a very long and aggravating story short, I attempted to file an insurance claim for the full price of the dress. I was never informed that should I win the claim, I would have to surrender the dress to the insurance company. This dress, which I loved, has been discontinued by the manufacturer. So even if I had the full price of the dress, I would not be able to replace it. I was eventually reimbursed the outrageous cleaning fee ($15.95) and given the dress back, without the involvement of the insurance company. The owner, Lydia, never apologized for damaging the dress. This entire process took four months from start to finish...and, I suspect, would have dragged on even longer had I not checked in several times a month to see what was happening. I'm disappointed to be losing such a convenient and valuable resource, but I can't in good faith recommend that anyone take their business here. read more

Over priced and takes forever to get items back. I once dropped a few pairs of uggs off and they charged me $50 a pair when the local cobbler does it for $10. I also had a pair of pants hemmed there once and they came back too short. read more

I use this cleaner because it is one block from my house, however I am a little disappointed in the prices. It costs $8.45 for a dress to be dry cleaned and I don't understand why. A short sleeve dress at knee length is not much more fabric or work than a long sleeve men's dress shirt. Also, at my last visit I pointed out stains on a an article and when I picked up the item not all of the stains were removed. This was also a dress that I paid $8.45 to have cleaned! read more

OK...I have finally completely had it with Lime. We've used them weekly for seven months and in the last month alone they charged me $15 to fix a zipper....and it came back not fixed. (I shd have looked at the shop when I picked up but I stupidly trusted them.) Plus, they got some kind of fluid on one of my best shirts and after trying twice to clean it, the stain will not come out. So, a ruined shirt and $15 for NOT fixing a zipper. I am bidding a not very fond good-bye to Lime, forever. read more

My boyfriend and I have frequented Lime Cleaners for a few years now. I believe them to be reasonably priced and they always have my items done on time. They are also in a super convenient are with lots of parking! read more

I love this place! I've brought several pieces for dry cleaning and they are always prompt and courteous. The prices are decent and they are in a great location (across from ACME). I am definitely a repeat customer! My only gripe is that they don't have the most friendly hours during the week. I work - so it's important that there are later evening hours - or hours in the morning that allow me to pick up before work. Hours are 8-6 Monday through Thursday (to 7 on Friday, not sure what Saturday hours are). If I have to pick up mid-week, I need to leave work early enough to make it before closing. Still, a great neighborhood place! read more

I am not a regular customer but the 2 times I have used this place I have been satisfied. I'm sure I will continue to bring my occasional dry cleaning orders here. Location is convenient (a 5 minute walk from my home and right near the Acme and CVS that I frequent). The weekday hours are not convenient for me but they are open a full day on Saturdays, til 5pm. I don't use dry cleaning services often enough to compare prices, but it didn't seem outrageous to me. For organic cleaning I think I would expect to pay slightly more than normal anyway. My 2 experiences there in more detail: 1.) A few months ago I dropped off a large batch of dress pants and other items that had been sitting in my closet for ~2 years. I must have had 6-8 pairs of pants, 2-3 dresses/skirts and a top. I believe the total order came in around $60 which seemed reasonable to me for so many items, and they were ready at the time I was quoted. 2.) Yesterday afternoon I brought in my winter coat that I had accidentally dropped on the most ungodly of surfaces, the subway platform. Knowing what I've seen on the platform I would have preferred to simply burn the coat and buy a new one, however I am not wealthy. I procrastinated for a few days on bringing it in to be cleaned, but Friday afternoon I took it in. I was told the coat would be ready on the following Tuesday afternoon, but then I panicked as I needed the coat to wear on Monday and asked for the order to be canceled so I could figure something else out. Instead of canceling the order, the clerk asked me when I needed the coat and arranged for it to be ready today (Saturday) - and it was ready, as promised! I REALLY appreciated the extra consideration and it saved me a lot of hassle. The price was $15 which seemed fair especially with the quick turnaround. read more

This place used to be okay but is now terrible. I brought pants in to be hemmed and they came back two inches longer than requested. They refused to fix plus were rude. The worst. read more

I called at 6 to check if I can pick up my clothes just after 630 for an interview tomorrow, they said OK. I arrived at 6:32 and the store is dark and locked, no one answering the phone. I'll use a different dry cleaner in the future. read more

Awful management and highly skeptical of ORGANIC claims. Had 10 shirts washed there and they all came back smelling like the cheap detergent you smell at a laundromat. When I had the woman smell my shirts, she claimed to not smell anything. When I asked her to identify her "organic" detergent, she wouldn't. She only offered to rewash the shirts. I declined the offer and told her I'd never use her cleaners again - very suspect read more

i have never been so disappointed in a dry cleaner. first i took three skirts to be taken in with one replacement of the elastic band. it cost over $60, with no cleaning. plus, two of the skirts were not taken in to the specified measurement. the one with a zipper, they replaced it with a cheaper zipper, which i did not request be replaced, and placed it on the outside when it had been neatly hidden. when picking these up, before i knew of any of that, i had given them two skirts for a simple waste band replacement and one to be taken in. this cost $76!!! again no cleaning. a friend had recommended lime based on having taken his suit in for the jacket to be taken in and a cleaning. his cost under $30. read more

i recently went in to get an expensive couch cover cleaned. the label on the cover specifically says dry clean only and i figured an eco friendly place would do a good job. when i got the cover back home and put it on my couch it smelled of chemicals. i figured i would leave it on over night and see if the chemical smell would dissipate but after 20 minutes and some blurry vision and lightheadedness i decided to pack it back up and take it back to have them fix the problem. unfortunately when i went in, the girl that was working said that it was the smell of the cleaning chemical. and then tried to have me smell some other dry cleaned comforters and sheets to show me that they smelled similar. they smelled nothing like my couch cover and when i asked if there was anything they would do to fix the problem she said that there was nothing... that it was cleaned properly. she then said i could go to some place on broad street to complain but i couldn't understand what she was saying and she was very unclear. needless to say, i will not be taking anything back to this "eco" cleaner. when they say they are green, and eco friendly i don't expect my articles to come back smelling so strongly of industrial cleaners that i can't use them. read more
