Fleet Dry Cleaner

My husband and I used their wash & fold every month for the year and a half we lived in the North End. The prices were reasonable and the clothes were perfectly folded. The hassle of getting quarters, doing laundry in a laundry mat, and folding all of your clothes is definitely not worth the $ 10 I might save by doing laundry myself.

This place was great! I was looking for a local place and I could not have found a better spot. I brought a bridesmaid dress there to get altered and when I left it fit like a glove! I would happily bring other items here to get altered.

Best dry cleaner/​laundry on this side of the North End.
I’ve used them for:
–Alterations: I’ve had two suits fitted here and both came back exactly as expected. Turn around is reasonable.
–Dry cleaning: They always do great with both cleaning and pressing. Find spots that even I forget to call out. One of my favorite things is they use non-​destructive tags for your clothing (eg. fold paper around and staple to itself) so you never have to worry about removal. I have yet to have a problem. Sometimes they will even do same day for emergencies!
–Wash and Fold: Used a couple of times when my washer broke. They did a great job, packaged/​folded clothes conveniently to carry and are always same day.
Overall, prices are cheap for the city. Much better than washio etc. Most importantly Mai and her mother are so pleasant! Always lovely to you when you drop off/​pick up (remember name etc.). They’ve actually even stayed late so I can get my clothes on that day. I would give five stars for service alone.

Mai is awesome. I fell in love with a dress for my engagement photos. Unfortunately it was the only one left in the store and 2 sizes too big! I frantically tried finding a tailor who could take the dress in within a week. I choose Mai because of the fantastic reviews on here.
She had me come in the same day and the dress was done within a week! It now fits like a glove. Her work is amazing and she is a genuinely nice woman!
:)

MAI IS AMAZING. She is the happiest and sweetest person in the Western Hemisphere. Stepping inside tiny space is always so pleasant because of her. I’ve gotten things dry cleaned here and never had an issue. The real star skill is her tailoring. The turnaround time is incredible and quality is not sacrificed for it. Could not recommend her enough.

The lady who runs this place is so sweet. I literally would stop in just for her to brighten my day! I recently had dry-​cleaning done here, and also had a dress hemmed. Everything was done perfectly. The prices are reasonable, pretty much in line with other dry cleaners in the North End, but the customer service is above and beyond!

This place is amazing! Definitely coming back! The 2 ladies that I met who work here, and extremely nice and helpful looking to accommodate ones needs.
I came in around 7:30am on a Wednesday morning with a gown that needed to be hemmed within 2 days as I had to fly out to a wedding. They had it ready the next day! They did an excellent job, no threads, and no area of the dress was lazily done as I’ve experienced in other places. Definitely getting more gowns/​dresses hemmed here! (Thank you 5ft3in figure!)
I loved chatting with them, super friendly, with a genuine interest to accommodate their clients. They don’t have a room to change since it’s a tiny dry cleaners place in North End, but they let you go in the back before measuring you. Such nice people, with decent prices.

Willing to do anything from hemming to fixing zippers to patching up holes in jeans. And so genuinely friendly and sweet with a signature «Good Moooooooorning!» every time I walk in. Prices are decent but not crazy good — comparable to other places (ie $ 5 for a shirt, which can add up). But the service and quality are worth the price. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience with this place. They were able to hem and take in a dress for me within a week. Super friendly service. This will be my new dry cleaning place from now on!

This place is really great, I can’t believe I’m just now getting around to reviewing it. My husband and I have been going here for a few years. Don’t be fooled by the small space… the prices are good, and service is always done very well and on time. Just today I went in with a dress emergency that they were able to turn around in 3 hours! The best part however, is the owner. She is the sweetest lady who always remembers everyone’s name (not kidding) and personal details. I look forward to picking up my dry cleaning just to see her!

Walking into Fleet Dry Cleaner never fails to brighten my day. Mai is incredibly friendly, the price rates for dry cleaning are highly competitive– particularly by Boston standards– and not once have I experienced any issues concerning the quality of their work. Highly recommended!

If you need something tailored, go to Fleet Dry Cleaner! I had a lace dress that I wanted to change the neckline on (from a high neckline to a low neckline) and when I took it to another tailor in the North End, they said they couldn’t do it because of the lace. So I tried Fleet Dry Cleaner and it was done beautifully and quickly! Best of all, it was only $ 16!

I’ve been using them for over 3 years and they have never disappointed. Recently, I needed a couple of suit pants altered the same day for an important business trip. Mai and her mother were incredibly helpful. She had the pants done with in 3 hours. Incredible! I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Dry cleaning is usually done in 1 – 2 days. Mai and her mother are the sweetest people and always remember you. Of course it’s a small place, but what do you expect in the north end. Best in class business here.

I have never sworn in any of my Unilocal reviews, but I think Fleet Dry Cleaning deserves to be the first and possibly last. I fucking love this place and the people who work here.
First off, most dry cleaning is all the same, done regionally by all the same places. You go to one establishment, they likely are outsourcing the «cleaning» to the same larger cleaners the other small mom and pop is using down the street, so in my opinion, it’s all about price. Shirts here are under $ 2 which can’t be beat which is why I only come here.
Other reason why I love this place are the friendly women that own/​work here. They know me by name, and they great you like it’s your birthday everytime you enter the shop!!! It’s unreal. It could be sleeting outside, 20 degrees, and just miserable, but they will always greet you with a «HELllOooW!» and a wonderful smile. It’s legitimately makes my day coming here because it makes me feel so happy; I’m even guilty of just scrounging up anything that may or may not be dryclean-​able just to have an excuse to come in.
Love these ladies, lesson to all a$$hole business people out there, FDC can show you how to love your customers. I will be back for mo’!

Mai altered my wedding dress beautifully. The dress is a very fitted/​simple-​looking style, so a perfect fit is very important; Mai made sure the dress fits like a dream. She also added buttons and a bustle and did a beautiful job on both. As is always the case with Mai/​Fleet, my experience was very positive from start-​to-​finish. I couldn’t recommend her alterations and dry cleaning enough.

Incredibly disappointed. Had one dress and two pairs of slacks altered here. This place is small, the back is unclean, if you need alterations there is no place to change (I changed in front of their washer and dryer) and while the ladies are semi-​friendly at first, it’s completely overpriced. They kept my items for over 2 weeks and when I finally picked the items up I had to return back to the store b/​c the pants still didn’t fit. One month later it was finally done. I really needed the dress to be done in a week and while it was promised to be done it wasn’t. I had to keep calling to check in the status of my clothes. They did offer me a $ 2.00 discount off of my $ 70.00 bill when I complained. Seriously :-(I would reco trying Hanover Cleaners or Sarni Dry Cleaners (who can also pick up and deliver). Never will I go here again.

holy crap. I never get anything dry cleaned but after having my day brightened by the unbelievably sunny friendliness of the woman who works here, I think I need to buy some nicer clothes.
convenient north end location, reasonable prices, amazing service.

What I like about here is the service. The women work here always have a smile on their faces and seem happy to see you. They also remember their customers’ names and use them appropriately.
In my years of coming here, I only had one occasion where they discolored an item. Still, it was nice of them to acknowledge the error and issue the refund.

I’ve been coming here for two years and nothing but good things to say. Mai and the rest of the staff are very friendly and accommodating.
The detergent they use for wash/​fold is pleasant smelling (I’ve had bad experiences elsewhere), and they do a nice job dry cleaning.

The worst dry cleaning experience ever !!
Ruined my husbands shirt … The dry cleaning chemicals stripped the color
My brand new worn once escada pants were stripped of threading on one seam
When I brought up the problems … Upon picking up the clothing … They claimed no responsibility and refused to sort out the problem …
I will never ever go back … Take this post as a warning …
I will always post good feedback because I want to praise where warranted but this must also be posted …
