Mohib Q.

I've been coming here for some time and have found that Sparkling offers some promotional days - Tuesdays and Thursdays that are great to use. I've been able to address collar stains and other needs at times for dress shirts, and have collectively been able to decide whether or not they need treatment. This is because deep stain treatments, at times, can shorten the life of a piece of clothing. Overall, I've found this place pretty accessible off Manchester and reasonable. The owner is friendly, and so I'm not sure the other reviewers have been fair to the service this cleaners is providing. Regardless, my experience has been nothing short of positive and I look to keep coming back to support this business.

Smelly stain on outside on dry cleaning bag
Avalon H.

I'm new to the neighborhood and thought I'd give this place a try. I'll never be back. I picked up my clothes from here and immediately put on one of the sweaters that had just been cleaned. As soon as I took it out of the bag, I was overwhelmed by the stench of animal feces. The sweater and all the other clothes I had cleaned at Sparkling Cleaners smelled like feces, right out of the bag on the very day I picked them up. There was also a disgusting stain on the outside of one of the bags. When I brought the clothes back to Sparkling Cleaners and explained my concerns about the clothes, the owner did not apologize and instead suggested that the clothes smelled bad when I brought them in to be cleaned. He had no explanation for the stain on the bag and refused to even smell the clothes to see what I was talking about until I absolutely insisted. He offered to clean the clothes again for free and I at least thought I'd give him a chance to fix the problem. When I came to pick them up again, the owner still did not apologize and even suggested that the clothes smelled bad because they had been sitting in my car for a long time before I returned them to him. The clothes smelled that way as soon as I picked them up the first time, and they were only sitting in my car for one day before I brought them back. His excuses for the awful smell simply don't work. Most of the clothes smell somewhat better but the sweater still smells like animal feces and there is now a sticky spot on it that wasn't even there when I dropped the clothes off the second time. I am beyond disappointed in Sparkling Cleaners and will not be returning.

Imad, the owner, is the kindest person. He gives us great customer service and his prices are good. Our clothes are always cleaned very well and his alterations are pretty good too. He gives us 20% off on tuesdays. I have never had a problem and if I do , I know he will fix it. We have been taking our clothes here every week for a few years.

I adore this place. This is a business run by mom and son. The son is always cheerful, helpful and…read morejust a wonderfully kind person. Very friendly. I don't live close but the alterations done on my clothes have been so amazing it is worth the drive. I have taken my oversized suits, formal dresses and gowns to get them altered and you would think I bought it that way. Incredibly professional and such a delight to visit. It can be pricey but I think when you are altering very expensive clothing, it is worth it. Especially with the way clothes are made so by heap nowadays. If you have a good base/foundation to work with and good fabric... do what I did and save the clothes! Get them altered here. You won't be sorry

Instead, they ask that you take the bags you bring the clothes in, back home with you- be prepared to leave with the bags you bring- Attention to detail will be instrumental in the final review of the experience, as this is my first time using their services- Stand bye- May 19

Do Not Use This Cleaner. $600 worth of shirts ruined…read more The Owner's response "I see this often..." No refund or monetary compensation. And told it was my own fault... The rest of this post is the rant of someone who is upset. With the quality of the job to be sure, but even more the quality of the customer service. So turn back, and you are spared the details, but you've been warned and your own clothes destruction will be your fault if you don't heed this. Go elsewhere. After a family trip to Hawaii, I got three shirts dry cleaned and they came back stained orange and what looked like burn marks and one shirt ripped to shreds. See pictures. When presented with, hey I just took great family pictures in these three shirts, and they did not look like this. The business owner had this to say.... "The oxidizing I see a lot on the west side." Sir, i've lived here for over 10 years and I have not. I have also dry cleaned my shirts for the same amount of time. To the ripped shirt, even more gaslighting... " we have notes going back to 2024 stating that this shirt has been ripped and has holes." To which I replied, use common sense, why would I be wearing a shirt with my family that has holes and why would I bring that shirt with holes to a dry cleaner? And his response was, "there is a note in the computer." Nobody could've possibly left a note after ripping and staining or burning all of my shirts ... right?! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Buck Mason, tombolo, rag and bone. I don't own many expensive shirts, but when I do, they all get ruined at once with absolutely no account taken. Rough. I've definitely spent over $600 at this dry cleaner so the only way I can show my disappointment is with my wallet and never returning and living to tell my story to the next person looking for a hometown cleaners they can trust. This is not that place.

Monty's is located in an unassuming location at the corner of Pershing and Manchester Ave in Playa…read moreDel Rey. There isn't a sign up front, and so you'll note it to be next to Cafe Boheme and a cross-fit gym. It's a low key, clean place that has been in the neighborhood for many years, apparently. What I like about Monty's is that, despite their tiny parking lot, you have decent prices in comparison to the rest of the neighborhood. It is $5 a shirt, and you'll get it back in decent shape, and they'll put red tape on collars that need work. For the most part, the lady that runs the place is relaxed and you may even need to call a number when coming in to get an attendant to come over from the nearby laundromat. I do think they could use more business as the pandemic has been tough on dry cleaning establishments, and they have reduced hours between 10am to 4pm. If you can't find parking, just park in the adjacent parking lot and walk your stuff over, as there is a pathway between the two lots to walk over. I hope you get to enjoy their handiwork, and know that none of your clothes will ever go missing.

WARNING: UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES! DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE!…read more I hesitated to write this review, but people deserve to know the truth. If you want your clothes returned in good condition, steer clear of Monty's. The owner, Christine, is unreliable and unwilling to take responsibility for her business's mistakes. My first visit to Monty's was to dry clean a custom-made white pant suit for my brother's wedding, where I was the best man. When I returned two weeks later, my suit had turned completely yellow. Christine denied any wrongdoing, insisting it looked the same as when I dropped it off. I even had to show her wedding photos just to prove it had been white. After two months of constant follow-up, I was given a small credit from her husband--far less than the suit's value. I felt they were just dragging things out, hoping I'd give up. Despite my better judgment, I gave them another chance to use the credit. I dropped off seven items, left town, and returned three weeks later, only to be told my clothes were missing. Christine promised to contact me, but never did. After repeated follow-ups, she said she needed three more weeks to "look for them." Now, a month and a half later, my clothes are still missing, with no responsibility taken by Christine. Each time I reach out, I'm met with a new excuse. RUN, avoid Monty's completely--find a place that values your business and your belongings!

Be careful not to park in their lot if you're not actually visiting the business (or the spa next door), as they have signs all over the place that clearly state that they tow vehicles. Dry cleaning only takes a few days, and hemming took less than a week. I didn't have any firm deadlines, so time wasn't of the essence, but let them know if you do and they can work with you. Keep in mind that hemming and tailoring will require you to change into the clothing on-site so that the tailor can pin the adjustments. There is a restroom in the very back for privacy - a bit tucked away and generally not for public use, but it does the trick. If you're trying to adjust pants or a dress, be sure to bring the shoes that you'll be wearing so that you have a solid idea of how the item will look once adjusted. Prices are a bit on the higher end compared to other small tailor and dry cleaning businesses that I've been to around LA. Tap to pay is your best bet for speed and convenience. The gentleman who owns and operates the shop is personable, efficient and polite. He has a huge fish tank and quite a lot of fun decor.

First - it's in the plaza on Manchester & Falmouth. Easy parking. Free too. I pulled up right in front. Few others did the same. Made loading and unloading a breeze. All front loading washing machines. Different sizes. Coin or card accepted. I had my own detergent. I mention this because I didn't look if any was offered via vending machine or the attendant. On that note, this location offers DIY or a Wash & Fold service. I don't know the prices for the latter. Call or stop by and ask. Washers and dryers work as expected. No issues with payment - used both card and coins. Ample counter space to sort and fold laundry when done. Not that it makes a difference to me but I'll share the following: No seating. A few customers just sat in their cars. Not sure if there's a restroom. Wasn't needed. Wasn't busy - no waiting for machines. My new washer should be delivered later this week but if not, I'd definitely come back here. I like being able to wash and dry multiple loads simultaneously. Opened up my day to be able to go and get other "adulting" done.
