Happy Cleaners

Don’t do it.
I was confused by different reviews, so thought I’d try them myself. What’s weird is that some things would come back smelling fresh & clean and lovely while others (in the same bunch) came back exactly as I had left them off! And some were half clean (like, on one shirt, one armpit smelled dirty while the other smelled clean).
I have no idea what’s going on here!
The worst was when I brought a brand new white shirt with absolutely no stains on it (it only smelled a bit from use) and when I picked it up it had yellow stains on the front (it looked like chemical stains). I demanded they re-​clean it, which to their credit they did, but it meant I didn’t get my shirt back for a week and a half.
Not at all worth the trouble.

It is a cheaper option for dry cleaning in the area but…
1) Suit Pants came back with one of the hem «undone» so i will have to hem it back up myself or get someone to hem it
2) DO NOT dry clean your sweater there. My red one came back a darker shade of red and sweater came back with pilling ALL over it. (It was pilling before I sent it to happy cleaners)
3) There was a hair on one of my ‘cleaned’ dry cleaning pieces
So my conclusion even though they’re really cheap, i definitely wouldn’t bring your clothes.

UPDATE: They lost my clothes and then acted like it was all my fault. Yes, I must have given you the wrong phone number because I forget the phone number I’ve had for the past 10 years ALL the time! No, lady! You entered my number in incorrectly! Yes, I did lose the ticket. MY BAD, but my phone number should have saved the day except… No apology. Nothing. Just too bad, so sad! I am never going back. (Also I’ve now started taking pictures of my dry cleaning receipts like a paranoid wierdo to prevent this from ever happening again) I am kicking myself for giving them a second chance when I shold have known better.
After trying a few different cleaners in the neighborhood and careful consideration of prices, hours, and turn around time I adopted Happy Cleaners as my go to dry cleaners. They weren’t the best I’ve ever had but my clothes came back cleaner than when I dropped them off and I was generally satisfied (but not thrilled) with thier service. Then a dress went missing.
Being a procrastinator and constantly late for work — I have the bad habit of waiting to pick up my cleaning until the very last minute, when I am already late for work and need one of the freshly cleaned peices that day. Luckily they open at 7 am so I can rush in after my morning run or walking of the puppers. Unluckily that means I am in a rush, pay and leave as quickly as possible, frequently neglecting to check the reciept and count the peices. They lost one of my dresses and I didn’t notice it on pick up, I paid the cleaning bill (including $ 8 for the dress) and went home. About a day later I noticed the dress was missing. I went back to ask about it and was offered absolutly no help. They couldn’t do anything, it was all my fault for not chacking and counting the peices and I was not even offered a refund of the $ 8 I paid for the cleaning of the now missing dress let alone any kind of compensation or remedy for the dresss itself even though I had been a regular customer for over a year. I was pissed. So pissed in fact that I didn’t return for almost a year.
I am now going back occasionally –because they really are the cheapest and most convenient if not the best cleaners, but I still have some trepidation. Hopefully I’ll be able to edit this review and add some stars in the future.

Love these dry cleaners! I moved to Crown Heights, and was shocked to find that in a place where the price of living was less expensive the price of dry cleaning was not. For some bizarre reason, the price of dry cleaning at numerous cleaners in the neighborhood was more than I paid when I lived in trendier more expensive Ft. Greene and Park Slope! In my hunt for a decently priced spot that wasn’t practicing grand larceny, I ran upon Happy Cleaners on Vanderbilt in Prospect Heights. Not only is the lady who usually mans the front desk here quite friendly, but my clothes always come back on time and with fast service. When I don’t feel like trekking to my tailor in the LES, they’re also good for minor sweater patch ups and pants hems. Happy Cleaners has kept me happy – and I’m a fan.

Lost my favorite dress– WORST PLACE EVER

WORST. DRY CLEANERS. EVER.
Absolutely atrocious service. After pointing out that my shirt was not cleaned thoroughly, the lady immediately got defensive and basically said it wasn’t her concern because it wasn’t her business, she just worked there. when I said that I couldn’t wait another three days to have it sent back she said I was a terrible person.
There are three dry cleaners on this block of vanderbilt. do yourself a favor and go to the other two which are cheaper and where they will actually take responsibility for your clothing and, i don’t know, apologize and not insult you if something goes wrong.

YO — boosting the score here. Fast and Cheap and perfectly folded clothes. Thank you, I’ll be back!

Cheap and cheerful. The lady who works there goes out of her way to be helpful. My cleaning is done fine, and it’s cheap. It’s exactly what I’m looking for.

Thank you soo much for charging me full price to get a ink stain out that’s still there! Don’t waste your money going here!

A business or service shouldn’t do the opposite of what it says it’s purpose is. For instance: a landscaping company should plant seeds and throw trash on your lawn; a mover shouldn’t throw your things in the street then walk away. A dry cleaner shouldn’t leave your clothes with the faint smell of ass.
I was happy to find Happy Cleaners once I moved to a new location. Sure, my old cleaners were accessible but there are three new ones on my new block. I figured I’d work my way down the block scientifically until I found my muse. This alas was not it.
Upon entering Happy Cleaners one notices a strong aroma of B.O. I could debate the source of this smell all day: the carpet; the people, but really what does it matter where it comes from. The important thing to keep in mind is where it is going. And brother, its going into your shirts.
Happy Cleaners is a cheap option in a nice neighborhood. If it serves no other purpose it at least reminds you that what your grandpa used to say is true: you get what you pay for.
