DO NOT take any clothing or anything of value to Summit Cleaners near Gerrity's in Clarks Summit or their main cleaners, the former Dempsey Cleaners in Dunmore!! I took a new sweater there (only worn twice) to be cleaned, it came back with hair all over it and a blue spot on the top of the sleeve that wasn't there when I took it in. I took it back and when I picked it up, my sweater was destroyed. Not only was the stain still there but because Summit Cleaners scrubbed the spot with some kind of solvent the area feels hard and the fibers are now stretched causing the sleeve to be 2 inches longer than the other sleeve.
I immediately took the sweater back to Summit Cleaners and the women at the counter agreed with me that the sweater was ruined. She took my information and said the owner, Peter Patel, would call me in the morning. Of course, he did not and I had to track him down. After describing the situation and sending him pictures he told me that they do not take any responsibility for items that are brought in to be cleaned. "You bring them in at your own risk", was what he said. He refuses to do anything about my destroyed sweater!! read more
