Had them fix a hem that had fallen out of a uniform piece. About $17 and finished in a week.

Dropped off 3 shirts on Saturday and the business was going to be closed on Wednesday for New Year's Day. They told me my shirts would be ready Thursday (5 days later). After some discussion they agreed to have them ready Tuesday but at 5pm! For this slow service I paid $9!!! For $3 a shirt you should offer next day service. read more

I needed to have some new pants shortened so brought them here. The gentleman who works there did a very nice job. The pants are perfect. They came back on a hanger with the plastic bag protecting them. I will go back again when I need his services. read more

Recent local cleaners closed on Bridgeport that we had used for 25 years. I was fortunate to find University Place Cleaners . We have been using their services for 3 months and excellent service ... they are a keeper read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE work done by them!! $400 for cleaning drapes, not complaining about the price at all, but the drapes came back looking like the just came out of a basket!!!! Not pleated, except every 5th pleat. Have called to talk to them, lady who answers says "call back another time" and hangs up. Terrible place to do business!!! read more

I just moved to the area, and chose university cleaners for its convenient location. They did a beautiful job cleaning a large comforter and a large Cotten blanket. Very pleased with the value and the service. read more

I needed a bridesmaids dress hemmed. When I got there to try it on for them to measure, I noticed a little stain. I asked them how much it would be to hem and take the stain away. they told me $80 total, so I just did the hem and I said I'd try to get out the stain myself. When I picked up my dress a week later, I tried it on, it fit so wonderfully. I also noticed, no stain! I'm very impressed by this place and will definitely be coming back and referring them to those around me! read more

Needed to drop of a suit for dry cleaning on Tuesday. They had it ready on Thursday evening. Will definitely use this business again.

Thank you for saving my wedding day. The day of...and I realized my dress had some spots on it and my soon-to-be husband's jacket had a spot. We went straight into panic mode, I called early in the am, 7 I think and you were opened and said bring them on in - you'd do your best, but couldn't make any promises. By noon the items were ready and in perfect condition....no words can thank you enough! You saved my big day and your prices were more than fair, best service ever and I will forever be indebted. Great cleaners & service is phenomenal! read more

I was a customer of this dry cleaner at one point, but will never go back again. As a customer, they were expensive and minimally civil. Recently, though, I made the mistake of parking in front of their business in an unmarked spot and the owner came out and shouted at me several times to move my car. I went to my car right away and said "I'm perfectly happy to move my car, but it's not necessary to be so rude." He looked at me and shouted again "move your car!" and then turned and stomped back into his business. I will never patronize his business again. read more

I don't go shopping very often (I actually hate the act of it. It's boring) so I cherish the clothing I do have. Unless the washer and dryer has phenomenal gentle cycle settings, I will not machine wash my items despite what the label might indicate. Very friendly service. Quick service. Reasonable prices. HOWEVER... they are too quick at times and when I've asked them to spot treat a garment either chose not to or they forgot thus ruining one Armani top (like real Armani, not Exchange) and also another dress I had. It's funny because at times they've given me back items for free with a note stating they could not remove the stain and if they were to try harder, it would have ruined the garment. Overall this place isn't all that bad. They just need to brush up on their communication to ensure proper customer service. read more

This place is pretty good if I say so myself. I recently visited a place in Mountain View, CA for just a plain-and-simple Original Hemming...I can honestly say that people make it or break it for you....and UP Cleaners MAKES IT for me...Greener and Fresher in MT. VIEW...NO BUENO! UP Cleaners are professional, courteous, reasonably priced, and HONEST!!! Thanks UP Cleaners!!!!! read more

Dropped off 2 suits that I needed cleaned for interviews in the following weeks. Staff are very organized and made sure to place a ticket with my garments. I felt the price was fair: for 4 pieces of clothing it was around $30. Definitely will be going back! read more

Can't say much about the quality of their work since I never got anything cleaned there, but the man working there has terrible service and manners. Very rude and treated me poorly. If you want to get disrespected to check them out! read more

Amazing! The quality for the price is phenomenal! Just moved up from California and was nervous to try a new place. $10 for a dress is super reasonable. I had a spot on a dress from when I purchased it and they were able to remove it. read more

University Place Cleaners - Open every day but Sunday. - Laundry Services Near Me - University Pl, Washington

We've been using this dry cleaners for years and they have always gone above and beyond to help us with alterations or a less than 24 hour turn over for dry cleaning. We've had straps sewn into dresses and even full circle dresses hemmed up 8 inches. My husband needed to request a next day turn around for his suit and they didn't bat an eyelash. We appreciate their dedication and willingness to assist us with our needs. Always friendly and welcoming when we go in. read more

They are superb at dry cleaning!! They can clean stains that I thought were impossible. If they think a fabric and stain cannot be removed they are honest about it. I have been pleasantly surprised when they got a white, Lululemon jacket back to a pristine, brand new white. I trust them with Armani linen and wool, Italian silk, a Max Mara fur trimmed coat... everything comes out well cleaned and in no way damaged. When I had an injured arm, the owner graciously carried my clothing to my car. Their prices are very reasonable for the best cleaning ever. read more

Been taking all of my suits and shirts here for about 5 years plus. Awesome people awesome turnaround time. Not to mention they have very competitive prices. I now live in Tacoma and still make the drive here for all my alteration and dry cleaning needs. Keep the local small businesses alive by supporting them. I just hope they keep up the quality as they get more popular. read more

When I lived in Tacoma I would always go here. The prices are reasonable (even more so now that I live in NYC) and the service is friendly and prompt. I asked them what made their cleaners "natural" and they said they used something called "Wet" cleaning. If you consider wikipedia as reliable, it is the "safest method in garment cleaning...The most important aspect of successful wet cleaning is experience and knowledge of different types of fabrics and proper ways to finish garments by operators." I had some time as was getting fitted for some alterations and apparently, he's been using Wet cleaning for several years now, first in Gig Harbor back in 2004 or so. Regardless, I definitely miss the place. You can't find quality and friendliness I experienced here without a significant price mark up in NYC. read more

I went to this place because of reviews from yelp and I was pleased with everything. Customer service was great, although, I put a parka in there to be cleaned and it still had just a touch of old smell on it, but not anything terrible at all. But overall, great experience and I will be back there when I need to dry clean something else. read more

I found that my red wool coat came down with a bad case of mildew since winter. I took it in and the price was $21.88 for it. It came back clean and took less than a week, so I am satisfied. read more

Conveniently located near the shopping center on the intersection of Bridgeport Way and 40th. Service was prompt, friendly, and well priced. read more

Easy to deal with, cheap prices, was done on time, and clothing looked great. Can't ask for anything more than that

Came here because it had a 5 star review on Yelp. They did not get several stains out of my dresses. I had to ask them to clean some of my garments twice. I took home some of the clothes and was able to get the stain out with water and a baby toothbrush. Should not have wasted my money. read more

Hands down the best dry cleaner in all of UP and Tacoma. I go to school in Seattle and I still bring my clothes here whenever I come home. They're always done within a couple days! read more

I go in 1-2x a week to drop off/pick up my boyfriends work pants and shirts. Anytime I need them back sooner (because I slacked on getting them there) they ALWAYS make it happen! Such a great place and I don't mind that it's totally out of my way to get there :-) amazing customer service and the clothes always come back perfect. read more

Wow, what an exceptional cleaner who goes above and beyond the usual experience. Since moving to the area 4 years ago we have used his services routinely and he is always so friendly and provides consistent excellent and environmentally friendly cleaning. His wife also provided my son in a pinch tailoring services with excellent and prompt service. However, it is the unexpected degree of customer service and honesty that truly sets this business apart. Last week my wife dropped off my usual work clothes cleaning and when she went to pick it up was told that everything was ready with the exception of 2 pairs of my pants, but not to worry, or pay for the laundry services until pickup later the next week. When she arrived to pick up my pants my wife was told that a mistake had been made in the cleaner solution used to try to remove some spots and therefore ruined the pants but then explained that he had gone out on his own and purchased brand new replacements from Banana Republic. Mind you that this gentleman and small business owner works 6 days a week and probably only had his off day on Sunday to go make the replacement purchase. Not enough can be said of this businessman's honestly and integrity not the least of his excellent clothing cleaning services that he provides. read more

Very friendly and prompt service with great prices. I've always been satisfied with my cleaning and alterations.

The expert service and quality of work make this dry cleaner a pleasure to do business with. Convenient to other shopping and major roads makes for a quick trip any time. I'll be returning whenever needing their services. read more

The weekend before my husband was scheduled to come home from Afghanistan, my mom took my less than year old comforter to this business to have it dry cleaned. It had previously never been washed and aside from being dingy from everyday use, it was in otherwise new/very gently used condition. The day before it was scheduled to be finished, my mom stopped in to see if it was ready ahead of time since she was in the area. The worker told her it still needed more time to dry and it would be ready the next day, as scheduled. She picked it up the next day and I took it out of the bag they had put it in the day before my husband was to arrive. As I put it on the bed, I discovered that they had destroyed the interior of the comforter. One side of the batting is flat and no longer reaches the edges of the blanket and it's all bunched up at the other side. It's pilled all over and even after trying to spread the batting back out, the loft and softness of it is gone. My husband complained his first night home from deployment that he was too hot because it was all lumpy on his side whilst I froze on the other since it was all thinned out. I took the blanket back to the cleaners the next day to ask them to replace the comforter and they said it wasn't their fault because that always happens to comforters when they are washed; the comforter said dry clean only so they shouldn't have washed it and when I asked them why they don't just tell people they can't clean comforters because it will ruin them, they didn't have an answer. I asked for them to pay for a new comforter since this was a wedding present and very special to my husband and me. The clerk looked apologetic but the manager, at least I'm assuming he was the manager, refused, shoved the blanket at me, and told me to take it and that it wasn't his problem. All I wanted was $80 to cover the cost of the comforter but he told me I'd have to sue him to get it. I went to Bed Bath and Beyond today and although they discontinued the color of my comforter, I bought the same one for $99. They should not be cleaning something that they know will be ruined. read more

I took a dress in because my teenaged daughter spilled on it so there was a stain. I told the lady that when I came in and she did not even respond, just gave me an annoyed look asked me my name & number and told me it would be ready in 3 days. I was desperate my daughter would need the dress in a few days for a photo shoot so I crossed my fingers and returned in 3 days. The stains were still there so I asked about them and the lady responded "He tried, but could not get them out." She was polite and told me to have a nice day. A phone call would have been appreciated or she could have acknowledged that the stains were not taken out when I picked it up and not have me pay full price. I was in a rush so I left frustrated and disappointed. The dress has a tag of dry clean only but I went home later in the day and got the stains out myself. I will not return. At bear minimum an acknowledgement would have went a long way. read more
