I came in for a jacket to get cleaned and get rid of some stains. I even mentioned it first when I…read moredropped it off. They say okay, and take it. I went in the next week to pick it up, for the stains to still be very clear there, as if they didn't bother to try and take it off. So I ask if they weren't able to? I clearly point to where they are. They say okay, take it again, and ask for me to come pick it up again a week later. I come in for the 2nd time, expecting the stain to be removed, for it only to still be very visible. I ask once again bout it, for only to say they weren't able to. They only thing I was confused about was they say they can take it off, after the couple times I already been there, and when I come to pick it up, don't bother telling me they weren't able to, but for me to find out about it when I go to see if there still there. I wish they would had just talked to me, stating they aren't able to, and explain, instead of wasting my time and taking it, for me expecting it to be actually cleaned. Mind you, the stain wasn't a food stain or anything that's really stuck in there, as I'm easily able to just rub at it a few times, and for it to fall off. When I show her that, she tells me to do it myself then and they can't do it. With the biggest attitude, cause I'm expressing confusion as to why they weren't able to. But the only reason why I'm there is because I'm paying for what I thought professionals to do it for me, but clearly I don't see any professionalism. For them to tell me to do it myself when I payed a full 20 bucks to see if they can do it for me. Just real bad attitude and unprofessional. I wouldn't bother coming here if you want something easily removed/ cleaned.

It's rare to find a business that maintains this level of quality and integrity for decades. Glad Cleaners is one of those gems.

The staff is very nice and easy to work with. They are very considerate in terms of calling me to let me know if there is a delay in picking up items. They also send text messages to let me when my stuff is ready for pick up. To date, they had done a decent job on my bed linen and winter coats and the price is right.

The wash and fold service is perfect for me because the price is right and I hate doing sheets and folding them, rather let someone else do that...HAHAHAHA! Turn around time is very quick, usually within 24-48 hours for pick-up. This location has a parking lot off of Irving Park Road, which is nice, but can be tricky getting in and out during rush hour.

Voula is great. She was able to see me for a fitting on a Saturday morning as I was busy during the week, and was able to alter two bridesmaids dresses for me on a tight schedule. She was so nice, the dresses now fit me perfectly, and her prices were the most reasonable I found in the area. I'll definitely be using her services for any alterations I need in the future! read more
