Marilia and staff go above and beyond, very friendly and welcoming! Dry cleaning was excellent on quality and price, and I currently have a bridesmaid dress being altered… thank you!

I brought my beloved cashmere shrug in to see if it could be salvaged after my cat got a hold of it. It had already been rejected by another establishment so I was not feeling optimistic. The repairs were so good we couldn’t even find them! It is better than new! I was very, very happy.

Athens Cleaners on Dorchester Avenue is fantastic. Clothes come back beautifully cleaned and pressed. They also do alterations on site and send out shoes out to be repaired and Uggs to be cleaned. New owner Marilia is one of the friendliest people ever.

Contrary to what Unilocal says, Athens Cleaners is open 6 days a week: Monday — Friday, from 7:30am — 6pm; and Saturdays from 8am-4pm. Athens Cleaners changed ownership in December 2013, and it is fabulous. We regularly bring our suits, blazers, dress shirts and pants there(one of us is a lawyer), and they come back beautifully cleaned and pressed. And hardworking Marilia is pure sunshine. She takes the time to get to know and remember all her customers. No matter how you’re feeling when you step in through the door, you’ll walk out with a smile.

Love this place! A month ago I had a huge issue. I was in my friends wedding and the dress company messed up our order causing my dress to come in the week of the wedding. I ran to Athens after work at about 3:30. A very sweet wan approached me and I told her that I needed the bridesmaid dress hem measured and raised almost 2 inches. And here’s the catch, I needed if no later than noon the next day as I had to attend the rehearsal in New York. I showed her the dress, It was the jenny yoo ‘Aidan’ dress. It has like 8 layers of different cut fabrics. The women were VERY accommodating. The dress was even ready early at 11:00am. The workmanship on the dress was perfect and they were beyond speedy with delivering! I plan on continuing to use this business for my alterations and dry cleaning needs.

I got a prom dress hemmed and slightly altered here. WOW! They did everything perfectly! At first I was worried they didn’t do anything because the changes were so careful. It did cost $ 30 for the hem and $ 28 to have the straps shortened, but I think it was definitely worth it. Thank you!

This place is a 1-minute walk from my house, and it took me almost a year to get there. I am happy with the service: they are attentive, my clothes look great upon return, and I can keep it local. I had a suit cleaned and it cost me $ 20, but I didn’t mind. I was so happy with the work I took another one. There’s also a large area for tailoring, which it seems they do(I didn’t ask, but I figure it will be one of those things I will eventually need). Agreed, too, that they prefer to give longer turnaround times for items, but the two times I’ve been in there, the woman and young adult that waited on me were open to negotiating an earlier return.

Closest cleaners to me in my new neighborhood, so I decided to give them a try. Clothes came back just the way I asked, the owner is a very sweet older lady, and I’m satisfied. Only thing is that she ONLY takes cash. No cards, checks, etc. Oh, and unless you say you need your clothes sooner, you’ll get kind of a far off return date. Like drop on Mon, and she’ll tell you they’ll be ready on Thursday. If you press a little, you can have them Tues. or Wed., but it won’t be the first offering. Note: this place does nice work, but they are PRICEY. $ 5 for a shirt.
