Craft Cleaners

€ 21 to dryclean a 2-​piece suit. Now that has to be gangsterism. THe most I’ve ever paid in Dublin was € 15.50. I said I’d give them the business as I usually use Baggot Cleaners. Never again. Fair enough if it was an overnight job but nope– it’s still taking over two working days.

I had an important meeting in Dublin. I am from NYC. I am very, very anal about my garments being processed the correct way. The day before my meeting, I found some grease on two of my Ralph Lauren Purple Label suits. I’m in Ireland, what do I do?
I went to a few high-​end clothing stores and asked «what’s the best cleaner in Dublin». Every shop mentioned Craft. I brought my suits over. Young lady behind the counter was a sweet as sugar and assured me all would be ok.
I get my suits back, one word — PERFECT! Packaged beautiful, stains delicately spotted away. My suits look better than new — no joke.
When you value your garments, you have to trust the best. Take this away from this review — take the time, do your research and even if you pay a little more ringer it done right the first time, it’s worth it.
If Craft were in NYC — I would absolutely bring my garments there.

Reputed to be the best dry-​cleaner in Dublin I put Craft Cleaners to the test. Don’t ask how, but I spilt Lucozade on a cream, silk top that I had borrowed from my mum. Nightmare.
Craft saved the day — thanks be to goodness. Craft are famous for taking care of your delicates and they certainly do that. It’s pretty expensive though. For my more usual dry cleaning I go somewhere cheaper but for the things that matter, you know you’re in safe hands here.

I get all my dry cleaning done here. There’s another place down the street that’s slightly cheaper, but the service is much friendlier at Craft, and they do a better job too. They take credit/​laser cards and all the cleaning is done on site so you know what you’re getting. The young blond guy is great — he really makes an effort to remember your name if you’re a regular. Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten his. Even if I lived in a different neighborhood, I would make an effort to come to Craft.
