Rainbow Cleaners has been my go to dry cleaners for years. Nick, the owner, is there 6 days a week and is personally engaged with his customers and their needs. Go a few times and he'll know you by sight, keep coming and he'll have your clothes ready before you get in the door. The customer service level I have experienced at Rainbow Cleaners has kept me coming back. The ease of getting in an out of his parking lot (did i mention there is a TON of parking) makes it easy for me to drop off an pick up. My Daughter love the fish tank and the mirrors. Zeus (the resident puppy) is one of the best behaved dogs Ive met. If you use another dry cleaners and they don't greet you with a smile and laugh, then you owe it to yourself to try out Rainbow Cleaners. read more

The Owner at rainbow cleaners off Aviation Blvd is unbelievably RUDE! I can't believe a business owner would be so disrespectful. Today I parked my car in front of his shop; got out with my boys to take a quick picture with the Kobe mural (being that it's Mamba Day) right next door before dropping off my Laker jacket to be cleaned and to my surprise the owner started screaming at me! I explained that I was about to drop off clothing to be dry cleaned and he continued to scream and kick us off his property. This is especially surprising as I was a repeat customer and he should've recognized me. I will NEVER use this dry cleaner again as he has absolutely lost his mind. He set a horrible example in front of two small children. There are thousands of dry cleaners in LA! Please go to those! read more

I dropped off three brand new dress shirts for my boyfriend. The gentleman manning the place was super welcoming and kind. He remembered me when I went back to pick up the shirts. He even set aside the little satchels with buttons (I had forgotten to remove it from the new shirts) for me so they wouldn't get lost. I mentioned the online special when I dropped off the shirts and he gladly applied it to my order when I picked them up. I will definitely be back again should I ever feel domesticated enough to take my boyfriend's stuff to the dry cleaners again :P read more

I'm sure it's a fine cleaners, but don't go in expecting a good deal on alterations! Took in 4 small curtain panels that needed a straight hem on the bottom. Felt almost violated when I picked up 4 days later to a bill of $104!!! I should have bought a sewing machine and done it myself. His excuse for overcharging me is that he can't find good help to keep his costs more reasonable. Seriously? Admit that you are overcharging your customers because you don't have a good Human Resources department??? Come on. Be wise, go elsewhere. Post Note: If you told me how much it would be beforehand I never would have left my items with you. OVERCHARGED! sorry...not sorry read more

Super kind & prompt! Successfully got our a nasty stain that other dry cleaners couldn't!

Rainbow Cleaners is the best laundromat and tailoring service in the South Bay by far!! I've had the blessing (and financial burden) of being a bridesmaid many times over the past few years and have struggled finding a good place in the South Bay to take my dresses to taken in and shortened to my height. After bouncing around 2 or 3 other places I finally found Rainbow Cleaners about two years ago and since then I've never gone anywhere else. The prices are decent. The service is exceptional! I even brought in a pair of moldy old cowboy boots that were expensive but I had neglected for a few years and the leather had begun to crack and the heel was worn down. When i picked them up it honestly looked like I had a pair of brand new boots!!! I'd recommend coming here for everything from shoes to seems. read more

I came in last night and had the pleasure of working closely with Nick to alter a dress. Being that the dress was made from terrible material, he informed me that he was able to do the job, but could run into the risk of it not lookin' as great. He then asked how much I paid for the dress and insisted I don't spend more to fix something than what I originally spent. Needless to say, he was not there to take advantage of his customers, but service them in the most efficient way possible. Thank you Nick for keepin' it real, I'll definitely be back with more! read more

I like the fact that Nick (the owner) remembers me after only once or twice inside. It is a rare thing these days for the establishment owner to be present & friendly. They do a good job with shirt laundry and have taken care of me in the past if I needed something done in a hurry. read more

Brought my outfit in for alterations on Monday and it was done perfectly, and even a couple of hours early!! Really good work and very friendly. Highly recommend!!!! Thank you! read more

Where do I start? I was recommended to come here to have a flower girl dress hemmed. I called and spoke to Nick on the phone who told me the specific time to come in and see the seamstress. My daughter and I came in on a Monday morning. The seamstress was not there but he said not to worry he could take care of it. I should of headed for the door but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He told us to head to bathroom (unclean) to put on the dress. I showed him a picture of how the tiered dress is suppose to look. He did not pin it and said he had written down the measurements and it will be ready in 3 days. Cost would be $45. We texted back and forth about the progress until Friday when he mentioned that hemming the dress was harder than he thought. Worried, I came in Friday morning to pick up the dress. Holding my little one, I had to maneuver around his big dog, which lingers in the entrance, so I couldn't really take a good look at the dress as he handed it to me. I arrived home and had my daughter try on the dress. OMG He butchered the dress. Here are a few photos of the first tier the rest are even worse. I texted him the photos and he said "I'm sorry I rushed my seamstress so that's why it looks like that." He said I could bring the dress back in to be fixed. But they had taken so much off the dress it is unfixable. Plus, this is not at all what we talked about. The dress was cut unevenly and not close to the same length. The under layer being longer than the top layer. I told him that I would like my money back. I came in Saturday and Nick gave me my money back for the alterations. I told him that I'm going to have to buy a new dress. He said yes if you want it like the picture. In order to get a new dress (which cost $160.00) I would have to go through his insurance. He asked to try and fix the dress, but I didn't feel comfortable handing it over until I had a new dress in hand. I have texted, called and emailed and he will not respond. So at this point I had to give up with the idea of getting reimbursed. This is for my brothers wedding so I went ahead and bought a new dress as a back up. The only positive aspect of the whole situation was that he mistakenly credited me an additional $45. I asked to have the credit removed, but he said he would take it out the insurance claim for the dress total. Since then I found another seamstress that thinks she can fixed the original dress (though, it will cost me $75) and will be a lot shorter then we wanted. At this point I can't imagine giving Rainbow Cleaners any more of my business. Good luck if you take yours here. read more

Best in the South Bay, hands down. I'm here every other week and the service is always consistent and I've never had issues. I found out last minute I had to leave town for work and they were able to turn my dry cleaning around quickly. Thanks Nick - it's great knowing I have a place that I can count on. read more

Nick is the realest Dry Cleaner G around. Very friendly and knows his clothing care and custom tailors too! Stop by to support.

Update : The owner reached out to fix the zipper and apologize -although I don't want to wait for the repair again - the gesture was nice and you can trust they stand by their work. This review is only for zippers. I got a zipper replaced, took almost two weeks to get back due to the wait while they ordered the zipper. And then the zipper broke within two weeks. I know they didn't make the zipper and I'm sure the alterations and cleaning is great quality. But request a higher quality zipper because you'll have to wait either way. read more

Nick is the best! Super nice, and helpful. Great prices even for alot of clothes. If your in the Manhattan or North Redondo neighborhood, this is an excellent dry cleaners. read more

I took my jacket in, that I hadn't had cleaned in years. They did a great job and my jacket looks good as new. read more

I just spent $195 for 17 items. It seemed high so I decided to call. YELP shows this business as $$ but I disagree. Blouses are $9 and pants are $7, that seems fair but a dress is $20 and a jumpsuit is $17, those prices seem very high. I feel women should know the prices before they drop off a bag full of clothes. read more

Went in on a Tuesday at around 12 to get get my jeans hemmed and they were done by Wednesday at 4! I asked to get my jeans shortened from a 32 to a 30. But when i got home and compared them to some other jeans I own, I thought that they were longer than they should be. I went back to the store to confront the man about the problem but he assured me that they were 30. He even took the time to pull out his tape measurer and then showed me that it was exactly 30. He then told me that these jeans were most likely not washed (which they were not). He was very polite, respectful, and professional even when I questioned his integrity which is why I gave 5 stars. read more

We LOVE Rainbow Cleaners. After a turbulent start to our SouthBay dry cleaning game, we found these guys. Since then, I've had well over 50 items cleaned, a few repairs, and our comforters twice now. They are fantastic. Always in a good mood, extremely organized, and (take note Mimi's cleaners) have never lost an article of our clothing OR sent us home with someone else's stuff! Imagine! Anyway... we HIGHLY recommend going to see the guys at Rainbow! We haven't been disappointed or less than fully satisfied since we walked through their doors! read more

THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING. I rushed in with a button needing fixing and the gentleman who helped me did so very fast and very very inexpensive!!! I suggest this place to anyone needing clothing cleaned, pressed, or altered. Thanks!! read more

I take my dress shirts to Rainbow Cleaners and I'm always pleased with how they turn out. The price is very affordable and the customer service is top notch. Glad to have finally found a great dry cleaner! read more

I love this place!! I brought THREE sheep skin area rugs here to be cleaned. These rugs were given to me by my grandma, who had them out in high-traffic areas in her house...a house where she smoked a pack of cigerettes a day. The rugs were beaten up and smelled so gross, but they were beautiful and soft, and I really wanted to save them. I brought them to Rainbow Cleaners, and the guy here was not only incredibly friendly and reassuring about the rugs, but they did an INCREDIBLE job on the rugs. They look and smell better than new! The care that was given to these rugs was unbelievable. I know it must have been a lot of work for them, and they did not half-ass this job. Thank you so much. read more

OK, first let me say that i don't normally notice a difference in dry cleaners. I've changed dry cleaners every 6 months or so mainly because they go out of business. However i did notice that these clothes were much cleaner. No ring around the collar and they got some serious stains out of ties w/o ruining them. Patch a hole in my sweater for free. Plus the 25% discount for yelpers. Awesome. They guy is super helpful and his dog is really friendly. I a looking forward to having a dependable dry cleaners. Oh yeah, 1 day turn around and late hours. 2.50 for laundered shirts, 4.50 for dry clean. a bit pricey read more

My go-to place for dry cleaning and hemming. I normally get things hemmed that I can't do myself, so delicate fabrics, lace, jackets, and sleeves. They are very quick and do a fabulous job, I have never been unsatisfied with their work or their lead time (never been more than 5 days). The dog out front is huge, but really friendly. One thing they don't have which would be super helpful is a place to change for things like dresses. If I need a dress hemmed I usually get a friend to help me pin it while I am wearing it, so that afterwards I could I bring it to the shop with the pins still in place. It would be wonderful if they had an area where I could do that in shop so they could be the ones to do the pinning. It's a big ask for such a tiny shop, but something to keep in mind if they ever expand to a bigger location! read more

I have visited this place twice now and, to be perfectly honest, I was not impressed. At the end of September, I was heading out on a business trip and realized that I needed my coat cleaned and returned within 24hrs. Per the Rainbow website, they indicated that they can turnaround items by 5pm if dropped off by 9:30am (from memory) that morning. At 9am, I stopped by and was told he could not do it due to a mechanical issue... The owner was nice enough to refer me to another dry-cleaner that could do it but, unfortunately, I did not have time to do so. So, it was a bummer -- it would knock a 5-star down to a 4-star just due to the inconvenience... However, the reason I am giving them 3-stars is largely based on my second visit. In mid October, I was preparing to go to a wedding and needed 2 shirts cleaned by that weekend. I included 2x slacks and 2x sports coats as well. They did a good job on the sport coats and the black collared shirt. I have not yet needed the slacks, so I cannot comment... ...however, the white shirt was in TERRIBLE condition. There were large red stains on the "cleaned" and pressed shirt. There is a good chance that the stains were on the shirt when I brought them in but I am shocked that it wasn't properly cleaned or that I was not informed that the stains could not be removed. Not an expert on dry-cleaners and what they can and cannot accomplish however I would think they'd tell me they were unable to remove large and noticeable stains... and now I have to bleach the shirt. *************************************************************** Update... the customer service at Rainbow service is top-notched. I was contacted based on my review and they made amends. I have since used their service and have been quite pleased with the work after a quick glance. (Have not used the suit again since I had it cleaned, so a closer inspection will be made at this time. I have upgraded their rating from 3- to 4-stars. read more

After moving into the local neighborhood I did my rounds of finding our cleaners and always came back to Rainbow in the process. Been going fully committed for a couple years now, Nick recognizing me and having my order ready. Customer service is lovely and clothes come back impeccable and in good time. Also have taken in repairs with great results. Highly recommend Rainbow Cleaners. read more

After getting sick of my other dry cleaners (you can read my Expert Dry Cleaners review for that story), I decided to yelp something else, and I found this local spot. Was this always here? Because I went to that Behind the Wheel driving school, next door, years back and never remembered noticing this. Anyways, I brought a suit and the owner/manager was very chill. He told me how much it would cost, that it would be ready the next day after 5pm and then handed me a ticket. I mentioned yelp and got my 25% adjustment. Easy. The next day I came back and both my suit jacket and pants were clean and present for pickup (you'd be surprised that clothing could go missing, but again, you can read my Expert Dry Cleaners review for that one). I got my 25% adjustment and paid. Easy. I'll continue to come back and hopefully service is just as consistent. This might be my dry cleaners from now on. Also, I asked him if he could clean everything from ties to scarves and he said "We clean EVERYTHING. If your girl friend is dirty I'll clean her too." A dirty joke! YESSSS!! I think I'll keep coming back for the dirty jokes also. read more

My ABSOLUTE favorite cleaners in the South Bay. If you are looking for these qualities for your dry cleaning needs: *Professional *Reasonable Prices *Fast and Curtious *Consistant Look no further and give up those over priced botique cleaners in downtown MB. read more

I came here because of the great yelp reviews and it's close to my job but.. I went to try and get my bathing suit taken in and the man at the counter completely dismissed me. He was on the phone when he asked me what I needed done and the time frame in which I needed it back. I told him and all he said was "No. I can't do it." He didn't even try to accommodate me or ask if I could extend the deadline. Granted it was a bathing suit so it's not like I needed it urgently. But by his lack of interest in quality customer service I just walked out. Definitely not coming back here. read more

Maverick (and his owner Nick) is/are the best! Rainbow Cleaners (I refer to it as Maverick's) is my go to spot for all my dress shirt/suit cleaning needs. Always prompt. My laundry is always perfectly cleaned and pressed. Best of all, Nick is a wealth of helpful information in local area. Ask him about restaurant recommendations. :-) Nick will also accept bribes in kettle corns. Oh Maverick: he is one large mastiff-looking k9, but he is also absolutely the most gentle creature. read more

I just moved to the South Bay area so I'm testing out 4 or 5 dry cleaners. Rainbow cleaners is one of them due to their proximity to me and their rating on Yelp. The cleaner is located on aviation and can be easily missed. I overshot it the first time and had to park in the parking lot of the smoke shop next door and walk over (the two establishments parking areas are not connected). The owner (at least I think he's the owner) is fairly friendly and allowed me to use the 20% off discount even though i didn't mention it when I brought my clothes in. There's also a very friendly dog, Maverick, that hangs out there. I was disappointed with the fact that my clothes had dog hair in it when I received it. So, the search continues for a dry cleaner. read more

I had to get some dress slacks hemmed ASAP (same day) -- so I called Nick and he was very clear about the time he would be able to do it and the price. The work was good and I felt very taken care of while I was in the store. Definitely recommended if you need a quick tailoring job. read more

They do a great job. Nick is super friendly and has helped me out in a time pinch on more than one occasion. Not the cheapest, but you are guaranteed quality service. read more

Nick is great. Quick tailoring and HONEST. If he thinks a crease in a pair of pants will stay after he lets them out, he tells you. I've had 4 items tailored here, and every time they've come out perfect. Wonderful service. read more

Man alive, I am so satisfied with Rainbow Cleaners. I've dropped several items off with them to get them cleaned and they always come back spic and span. The only exception was a blood stain I allowed to set too much, but even that was cleaned twice (for free) to try and get as much of it out as possible. Quick turnaround, too. I started coming here because it's right on my way to and from work, but I'm going to continue because I'm very satisfied with the service thus far. Plus, I get to see Rainbow's mascot, a big handsome boxer pup whenever I stop by. read more

Had a really nice, albeit brief, experience here. I needed a quick alteration on a bridesmaid dress and forgot about it until the day before my flight. Nick did everything he could to keep the process cheap and fast, and he didn't even give me the judge-y eyes that I usually see from non-procrastinators. I was grateful that he was willing to accomodate my last-minute panic. Alteration was fairly simple but well done. read more
