    I was pretty disappointed in the quality of dry cleaning I was provided here. I got a wool blanket cleaned and it came back with random debris in it :(

    My ruined duvet
    Kelly H.

    I was in the market for a new dry cleaner and after a lot of research I decided to try metropolitan cleaner. The staff I spoke with were incredibly kind. I brought in a duvet cover to be washed for the first time, and this was back in July. Fast forward to last night (October 25) I finally remove my duvet from the wrapping/hanger and I notice this giant, unsightly stain on my white comforter. It almost looks like someone set a coffee pot on my duvet cover. I was extremely disappointed and upset. Giving 2 stars because the staff I worked with was friendly, but overall pretty upset that my duvet cover is ruined leading to an overall bad experience

    The parking is great. They usually have some spots metered spots near the side but also have parking in front. I was pretty unimpressed at first. I dropped off a dress here that had makeup on it. They gave it back to me with makeup still on it. I pointed it out, the guy took it to the back for a minute and brought it out perfect. I came here for a couple more things. They were honest about how long it would take to clean a certain item, which I appreciated. (I was hoping to get it back by the next day. But due to the severity of the problem it would take longer...) Also, I had them clean some spots on a top and when I picked it up I was told they couldn't take out the spots (they were burned or something. The material had faded away and the backing that was showing were the spots I was seeing.) I was still charged for the cleaning even though i wasn't asked if I still wanted to clean it if they couldn't fix the spots. Needless to say the shirt is trash. They did a great job on my other things. So, very hit or miss.

    The best dry cleaning in Santa Monica!!! Everyone treats your clothes as it's theirs.

    I must say Benny & the team treat every garment at this location as it was theirs. They clean, they sew, they treat you as family. This is the best cleaners in Santa Monica hands down!! Most importantly you can easily park for a quick drop off or pick up. I encourage everyone to check this place out when in need.

    Great work! All my Stains Gone. #1 Cleaners

    I needed my work clothes dry cleaned ASAP and I was so blessed to have by accident called "Metropolitan Cleaners". Everyone else was closed on Sunday near Ocean Park, Santa Monica however Benny answered Phone and since it was my first visit he offered 30% off so I brought a bundle with no expectations. Unbelievable pick up today! Stains gone , price is right and to top it off kind Thank you Mr Benny I'm so excited I have a new high end dry cleaners at a budget price. Bless you for being such an amazing essential worker. Be safe.

    See all

    Seemed decent, but all dry cleaners are expensive now and that was with the first timer discount.

    I dropped off about $300 worth of button-up shirts from Kenneth Cole at Big Wave Cleaners. I've…read moreused them for fluff and fold before, so I trusted them with my nicer clothes. When I picked everything up, only two of my shirts were returned, along with a shirt that wasn't even mine. One of my shirts was also missing its size tag, and the stitching looked like it had been undone. At that point, I was really upset, especially because one of the missing shirts was about $100. I decided to give them a chance to look into it before leaving a review. I was told they had me in the system and that someone would call me back. I waited a full week and never heard anything, so I went back in person. That's when I was told they actually didn't have me in the system. What bothers me most is the lack of communication and follow-through. If you tell a customer you're going to look into something and call them back, you should actually follow up. My advice is to be very careful about leaving expensive or sentimental clothing here. Also, don't just take someone's word that your items have been entered into the system. Make sure you have some kind of documentation for anything valuable. I gave Big Wave Cleaners a chance to make this right before writing this review, but after waiting a week with no response, I feel like other customers should know about my experience.

I recently picked up two garments that still had the same stains I brought them in for, yet I was still charged for the cleaning. I understand that not all stains can be removed, but if that's the case, customers shouldn't be charged as if the issues were resolved. At the very least, I would expect a heads-up when dropping items off if something looks unsalvageable, especially since I pointed out the problem areas in detail ahead of time. Or at minimum, a conversation at pickup about what happened or a partial refund for not being able to do the work needed. Instead, I was expected to take the items as-is and pay in full for the service. When I asked about it, I was told "we cleaned the garments," which may be true, but the reason I brought them in was to address those specific stains. When I calmly pushed back, I was told, "This isn't the place to bring my items," and was issued a refund. I was being dismissed and steamrolled with excuses simply for asking for better customer service. I stayed polite and was just trying to understand their reasoning, but there was no accountability until I raised the issue. As a business owner myself, if I can't deliver on what a customer is paying for, I take responsibility for that. I've had good experiences here in the past, but this left a bad impression. I'll be going elsewhere for my cleaning needs.

    The other reviewers may be correct about the quality of the service overall. However, if there's…read moreanything in your order that requires human intervention beyond an automated system, I would suggest staying away. Poor communication with the point of contact (a hotel where I stayed) for drop-off, as well as unresponsiveness to me, resulted in items necessary for surgical recovery being stranded on the other side of the country for over a week. Self-righteous unwillingness to admit error upon having this pointed out resulted in a tirade about how much of a favor this guy felt he was performing by simply getting things where they needed to be after the poor communication mentioned above left things in the wrong place. Apparently he was so blinded by said self-righteousness that he was unable to distinguish between the point of contact (again, a hotel with which he deals regularly), and myself, when all of this was pointed out. All I received was hostility and abuse directed at "you guys" - entirely inappropriate as well as inaccurate. In terms of value for money, I can't speak to the quality as I have yet to receive my items. In sum, use this service if you're okay with not interacting with a human. If you do need to interact with a human, I would stay far, far away.

Nothing remarkable in a positive way but also no disasters with my clothing that I can recall. About two months ago, I brought 5 or 6 cashmere sweaters to be dry cleaned. When I picked them up, the woman at the front charged me $19.95 per sweater. I actually thought she had just made a mistake with the total so I asked her to confirm the cost to dry clean a cashmere sweater and she confirmed $19.95. I know cashmere usually is more expensive to dry clean than other materials, but I think that's outrageous. I paid the total, but then I asked to see the price list and she said they didn't have one! The whole thing was pretty suspect, and I will never go there again. Not to mention, the woman upfront was very rude during the whole thing. I believe they might simply make up pricing as they go and see what they can get away with. I'll admit, that often times I will pick up dry cleaning, pay the bill, and not really pay close attention to what each thing cost. Usually it's roughly what I'm imagining it to be. But in this case, I knew something was weird and I'm glad I asked. I truly do not recommend this business.
