While I'm not certain reading other reviews how DRY cleaning can (wet) sour; as for IS Cleaners and my own experience, for many years, my wife and I have received & continue to receive incredible, professional, quality and economical service for the dry-cleaning of our family's clothing, some of which such as custom tailored suites, or my bride's elegant and fragile evening gowns and many of her dresses and gowns, are very expensive. We take those costly clothing items to US cleaners, because we trust the work they do, we know that Lou takes the greatest care and caution to protect each garment while cleaning. The professional staff at US cleaners has been and remains incredible and are always smiling; eager and happy to help every customer. Over the course of many years, and dozens upon dozens of visits top drop off and pick up our clothing, Lou and his employees have ALWAYS cleaned our garments professionally, affordably and perfectly for those many, many of years. As you look down the rows of freshly cleaned, perfectly pressed clothing, the majority of those garments are suites, dresses, casual, business, and Sunday bests for normal, everyday citizens such as myself, and probably you as well . However, you can't help but notice the rows of carefully pressed, perfectly creased NHC Sheriff Dept., WPD / Wilmington Police Dept., EMS / New Hanover County Paramedic, Wilmington Fire, United States Marine Corps / USMC (Semper Fidelis) Dress Blues, US Army Dress Greens and occasionally even one of those USA Navy White Dresses, or Dress Whites rather, hanging waiting readily for their owner/s to come gather them. There is a vast array and amount of professional, local and public service / emergency service professional uniforms ready, for two reasons. Reason one is because US cleaners consistently, and for a long period of time has always offered a professional , high quality service of cleaning / dry cleaning clothes and they have cleaned clothes exceptionally and incredibly well. Those clothes have always been consistently cleaned faster and ready sooner than most any other dry cleaner in town, and while the cleaning and service is premium, that high quality, premium, professional and incredibly well done cleaning service has also been the most affordable service offered in town...... Best, Fastest, Cheapest... Consistently. does an incredible job with cleaning customers clothes, they do it faster than most other competitor businesses, they do it more affordably than other dry cleaning businesses in the area. The second reason which in my opinion is the most important reason as it shows the type of person the owner is; Lou believes strongly and whole-heartedly in giving back to those who service the businesses and citizens of Wilmington and New Hanover County and he shows his support by offering his extremely high quality, cleaning service to public and emergency service professionals for their professional uniforms at an exceptionally discounted rates. While our local unsung heroes in law enforcement and emergency and fire services should ALWAYS look their best in a crisply cleaned, well pressed uniform as they are constantly a visual representation of our city and of those who live here, those same public servants should not have to worry about inflation. They should be able to be allowed to focus on their job of protecting, serving, saving and helping area residents and business. They should not have to worry about how to budget for, or how/where to obtain the extra money so that they may be able pay high prices in order to have their uniforms professionally cleaned and pressed so they may look their best as they represent each one of us, and work to serve and protect us and our community. Because Lou believes in our City, he gives back by providing a special, very affordable service to our local emergency workers so that they may have their professional uniforms cleaned and pressed, without having to worry about cost. Any business who takes the extra time, and absorbs extra cost to give back in such a manner, to help those who help us for a living is to be applauded, and I personally believe it speaks extremely highly of any business who does so and says allot about a business owner's own generosity, sincerity, ethics, and standards. Personally I try to do my business where the business cares about me wants and needs as much as they care about each dollar I spend, and Lou is an exceptional example of a small business owner who us kind, professional, generous, ethical and who cares about each and every customer he has. Highest Quality Cleaning, Fastest Turn-Around, Most Affordable Rates and Years of Satisfaction, Exceptional and Positive Customer Service, and never any problems or issues.. It would be hard to get me to go anywhere else, and I cannot speak highly enough about US Cleaners, The owner Lou, or his incredible and professional staff. read more

I took in two shirts for dry cleaning and got them back as wrinkled as I took them in.

If I could give them zero stars I would. This business sent 4 dresses, including a made-to-order bridesmaid's dress for my 14yo daughter and 3 other irreplaceable dresses to be worn at my son's wedding (3 weeks away), out their door with another client. This was grossly negligent, and, given their sign stating they will not release items without a yellow slip (which I believe has an item count on it), mind-boggling. How hard is it to cross-check what you grab against the yellow slip the client presents? They sent 5 extra pieces with someone, apparently without noticing or really checking that person's order. Mistake or utter incompetence? I would argue the latter. Rather than apologize to me and my daughter, they became argumentative stating "mistakes happen." In my panic, I explained there would be no way to replace what they sent away. They acted as if I was out of line to be concerned. They did call 2 clients they suspected may have had them, but they refused to pass along my number and request that the people who may have them notify me if they found them. Of note, I did not ask for the name or phone number of these people given their right to privacy. If it were me who had taken home someone else's wedding attire, I would have been happy to ease their mind and would have done so immediately. At the site of my daughter crying, thinking she would not be able to be in my son's wedding (the dress took over 8 weeks to be made and get to us), the male owner barked at her to STOP CRYING . Who does that? She was understandably upset at the idea she would be left out of one of the most important days for our family. Feeling without options and, frankly, not believing they actually knew what happened to my things, I called the police and requested a non-emergency intervention. Unfortunately, there was little the police could do but say I would have to wait to see if they turned up. US Cleaners was callous, rude and refused to accept responsibility or make a real effort to allay our concerns. It felt to me they could not have cared less about the stress they induced. On a bright note, the people who got my clothes brought them back this morning and I have them in my possession. I am sorry to them for the inconvenience US Cleaners caused them. read more

They've consistently been my go to for ceaning my high end wardrobe. Since 2019, I'm originally from Chicago Illinois. So my standards are rather high when it comes to the level of service I expect. So if you invest heavily into your wardrobe, you can trust U.S. Cleaners to get the job done. Their prices over that period of time having increased 50% to $3.49 per item., but that's understandable considering the current rate of inflation. read more

Called ahead specifically to ask what time they were closing and arrived in time to pick up my item and they decided to close early

Yes, reasonable and they do good work ... Have never had an issue and always ready when They say it will be. Give it a try read more

US cleaner personnel is always polite; their desk person in the afternoon is particularly helpful, remembers my name, and is customer oriented. I've used them for heavy quilts, napkins & tablecloths, cashmere sweaters, dresses, slacks, shirts & blouses. You name it, they've cleaned/laundered and pressed it. I no longer iron my shirts because they do such a good job of starching and pressing them. Their prices are the best in town. I've met people who travel almost an hour to US Cleaners because of their pricing and quality of service. My friends from Boston have made the case that they should start sending their cleaning down by UPS after seeing my receipts (and clothing, of course). I'm a big fan. The only issue I have is that now that they are no longer a secret, they're busier than ever and it takes two days to get my clothing back rather than next day service. (I'm partially to blame; I've sent all my friends to them.) read more

If you like PERFUMED AIR FRESHENER smell on your clothes, then go here. Many people are allergic to scents and perfumes. This place uses a perfumed air freshener, you can smell it as soon as you enter the lobby if you are one of those unlucky, allergic people. And yes, the clothes you take home will reek of it: if you wear one of those shirts within a day or two of leaving this place, anyone in the room with you who is allergic to perfumes will smell it. I've found two dry cleaners in town who do NOT send you home with perfumy clothes. Too bad this one isn't one of them. read more

Asked if there was a way to dry clean shorts without using safety pins to hang them on a hangar as this creates permanent pinholes. Said they could put a note asking the presser to hang them over a hangar but could not guarantee he would see. When I showed her the plastic hangers that my previous dry cleaner used (different state) she became very cool and said that's not they way we do it here. Took my clothes and left. Happy they have so much business that they can turn away a customer who has lots of clothes dry cleaned! read more

Good service , cheap price, professional work. Been going there for years. We love Veronica!!

Been doing business there for several years. Must have changed owners, because quality of work, DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED! Brought in new knit blouse worn 1x. Opened plastic to see shirt snagged all the way down one side. Instead of apology, owner blamed me for condition of garment, and have had to return several light colored garments for re-cleaning! Poor customer service, poor cleaning. read more

I took clothes there preparing for a trip, there were 26 shirts. Picked them all up, packed, and didn't notice that every single shirt had soured. Had to pay to have everything laundered at hotel, came back & took remaining four shirts in, explained what had happened, the attendant was indifferent & offered to redo those four shirts. I agreed, went back and picked them up, brought them home, & found that they had sprayed some sort of smelly deodorizer on the shirts!!! I didn't notice until this happened, but their attitude is similar at the other location. read more

Awesome! conisistently on time return, never any damage and price cannot be beat!

Rude staff! I dropped off a David's Bridal dress to have it cleaned, and it couldn't be more evident that they didn't even want to deal with me. After laying the dress down, she looked at me and said, "He doesn't do David's dresses," even though I had 2 other dresses of the exact same fabric cleaned there within the past year. After I told her this, she shrugged and said, "We'll see" so I proceeded to show her the spots that had stains. I attached the tags since I was having the dress cleaned to give to a friend, and wanted to keep the extra thread and buttons with it. I asked her if they can keep the tags with it, and again, more attitude. As I was walking back out to my car, the manager approached her to look at the dress, and I heard her say loudly to her manager, "She probably wants to keep the tags so she can return it." Obviously she's not bright enough to realize that you probably shouldn't talk about the customers when you keep the doors wide open and the customer is parked right in front of the building, and I certainly didn't appreciate the implication that I'm both cheap, and a liar. I'll be taking my business elsewhere from now on. Not worth the attitude. read more
