Koretizing Cleaners

I have been coming here for several times now. Fully satisfied with the service. Staffs are nice and professional.
I was worried when I sent my wedding dress here, which has a lot of detailed ornaments on it. However, the staff’s professional talk walked me through the cleaning process for a wedding gown and eased my concerns. When I got my dress back, It was perfectly cleaned and wrapped. Altough the price is a little high, the service is definitely worth the cost! I will bring more my pretty dresses/​shirts to Koretizing!

I have been a customer here for several years. I have always been pleased with the way that my clothes come out and the special care that the owners (who are always there) take to make sure they get the stains out of my clothes. A year ago, my job situation changed, and it became less convenient to bring my clothes here, so I took my clothes to a couple of different places that were more convenient. Well, after having one place shrink two of my dresses and another place lose half of my clothes (temporarily, thank goodness), I decided to drive the extra few miles just so that I can be sure my clothes are well taken care of.

As a male, I can only speak for men’s clothing, but from my experiences this is hands down the best dry cleaner in Durham. I’ve tried a few, namely the ones on 9^th street and have been disappointed. Don’t waste your time anywhere else, go here! Listening to Supti (the owner) explain to me why I needed certain shirts pressed one way, and my suit dry cleaned as well as pressed truly demonstrated her desire to serve the customer the right way. She is truly invested in her business and the fact that its organic is fantastic. I ended up needing to pick up my clothes two days early, and they were ready! Take your clothes here, and experience the difference pride makes.

Always have good experiences from this place, and my clothes are always perfect /​on time!

I chose Koretizing Cleaners for my first foray into Durham dry cleaners after reading Unilocal reviews for several in the 27 705 zip code. I dropped off 4 white shirts (two with noticeable stains that I’d failed at removing in my own attempts) and a heavy winter overcoat. I mentioned that I needed the shirts done by early the following afternoon and I was assured they would be ready. Not only were the shirts ready the coat was also ready and the aforementioned stains were GONE. I’ll be bringing my business to the friendly staff at Koretizing again.
Total to clean/​press shirts and clean the jacket was (with 10% student discount) was $ 31.

STAY AWAY at all costs.
Infuriating experience. Second time here and definitely not because of the service — the first time I came to pick up my clothes which were on rush service because I was starting work in 2 days and dry cleaning was the last thing I wanted to worry about when I started. When I arrived, one of my blouses had a clear stain down its front — which was not present when I had brought the blouse in. I asked to speak to the manager about it, but he was not in, so decided to let them try cleaning it again and see if the stain could be removed.
The next day I came back again. The blouse was clean, however they had managed to break a button on my brand new (tags were still attached when I dropped it off) $ 265 pair of theory pants. I was profusely apologized to again but told that I would need to return tomorrow.
As a side note, all of my clothes were clean, but I had just moved and shipped them, so they were wrinkled which is why I brought them to the cleaners… I wish I had just ironed them myself!
The woman behind the counter said she would take 10% off my bill which did little to compensate my time and increasing frustration! As a side, I am happy to pay any cost to have a high quality dry cleaner but this is the highest bill I’ve ever had for the worst service.
WILL NOT BE BACK. Well I guess I have to pick up my pants tomorrow haha. But besides that.

Did a good job and fulfilled the time they told me. Had no problems with delicate items being smashed or anything like other cleaners can experience. Cons are that they’re quite expensive ($ 15/​dress) and that it took them several days for a simple cleaning (no stains).

Friendly people and great service
I recently started going to this establishment after a bad experience with another clothes cleaning service in Durham, NC that ruined at least 6 of my button down Polo shirts. The owners of this place are great and the services are outstanding. True, the cost is a bit higher than other places in the area, but you get what you pay for.

You get what you pay for and that is certainly true in this case. They always take care of me every time I go in there, quick turn around and no complaints at all and very kind, friendly people to boot. They have helped me out more than a few times in a very short time frame. Is it a little bit more than other places? Yep, but you have to pay for quality. I know that this is for sure my default dry cleaner in the area.

$ 3.75 to clean a men’s dress shirt?!? I surely won’t be back for that price.
Nice people and very convenient, but it seems to be very overpriced for the other options in the area. The suit was more reasonable at $ 12 but I can’t believe the cost of dry cleaning a shirt.

Organic, odorless drying cleaning in Durham. Good stuff.
Prices are a little high compared to the competition (even with the 10% Duke student discount it was over $ 16 for a wool coat), but I’ve had some poor experiences with the chain cleaners in the area.
Tip: Koretizing Cleaners is nestled away in a small gravel lot off of Hillsborough Rd. It’s easy to miss because the sign is tiny. If you’re driving on Hillsborough towards 9^th St., start looking for Koretizing on your left immediately after you pass the ABC store.

They did a wonderful job on my wedding dress! I had an outdoor wedding, so the train was covered in grass stains and dirt, and a not insignificant amount of beer had been spilled on it as well. After they had cleaned it, my dress looked brand new again. They have also done a great job on several suits for my husband and a cream colored wool sweater that had a wine spill.

Finding a good dry cleaning place in Durham is a huge challenge. I’ve been to this place multiple times because honestly they do a decent enough job and I can’t find a better place to go. Most of the time I have no complaints. One time they «over pressed» my nice black pants so now they have a weird sheen look on top around the waist. I didn’t notice it until a few days later otherwise I would’ve said something. They also chipped a button on one of my sweaters. Ugh. And still they are one of the better places to go in Durham! I’ve tried others and read other reviews. I think what brings me back is that I really like that they are organic and don’t use chemicals… I hate that smell! The owners are also really really nice and appreciate/​notice when you come back. They also give a small discount if you’re a duke student… which helps cause they are pretty pricey. I have a 100% silk top with a beaded collar that I need dry cleaned… but I think I’m just gonna wait until I go home to CA to get it cleaned! The rest of my clothes I’ll take here. Terrible.

This has always been my favorite dry cleaner in Durham, despite the high prices. I have found the owners to be personable and kind. As a result, my husband and I have brought all of our dry cleaning here for the last three years.
Today I brought in a comforter, which had been dry cleaned here before. One of the owners became very agitated because there was a bit of white dog hair on the dark purple comforter. She asked if my entire house was covered in pet hair and accused me of bringing my dog’s bed for her to clean. I’m not sure where this came from – the comforter stays in a guest room that we keep closed off from our dog. The hair was quite minimal, and I would have used a lint brush before bringing it if I’d known it would be so upsetting to her. She went on to rant about how her employees would have to stay an extra 3 – 4 hours to clean such a large comforter, despite my assurances that I was willing to pay whatever, or just take it elsewhere. I’m not sure why she was so upset, but it was a tiny bit absurd.
The offending comforter is now safely with another dry cleaner, who said nothing about pet hair. In the meantime, I’m on the market for a new dry cleaner. I’m not sure what happened here, but I’d advise against paying above market to have one’s housekeeping and general cleanliness insulted.

Came here to get a dress de-​wrinkled for an event this weekend. When I returned to pick it up, there were a lot of wrinkles still visible. I don’t regularly use this type of service so apparently what I asked the young girl working during drop off for (a press) wasn’t exactly what I needed.
The owner is SO incredibly sweet and remedied the issue right away at no extra charge. While I waited, the owner was pleasant to talk to and I could tell she takes great pride in her business. I also liked that they don’t seem to use any crazy chemical products for cleaning.
The prices do seem higher than what I’d expect but you will definitely get excellent service here.

We were in Durham for a Duke reunion and had been traveling for a week. I brought a bunch of laundry, some shirts and some dry cleaning in at 8:30 in the morning and the whole pile was ready by 4 pm. I have nothing but the highest compliments for their terrific service.

I went there to drop off a very intricate shawl. From previous reviews I felt this was the place to go because I wanted it to be carefully taken care of. When I got it back, it looked clean and didn’t have the chemical smell but when I got home it had a snag. Honestly, I don’t remember if it was already there but it would have been nice to be told. It was also way more expensive than I thought it would be.

If you are looking for a thorough job, Koretizing is the place to go. The great service comes with smiles and warmth that will make you feel at home. The owners consider their customers «family» and do whatever they can to make you happy. Pricier, yes, but honest and good work goes a long way.

$ 18 for three pairs of pants (two of which have lining). not bad, but not great either. The couple running the place are very nice and appreciative of your business. My clothes were prepared on time and in good condition. i’ll be back!

Let me start with the one con: Koretizing Cleaners is pricier than the rest.
That having been said, it’s well worth it.
I had some dresses cleaned here, some of which were a bit more complicated to clean than others, and I neglected to appropriately warn the owners. It didn’t matter! They meticulously cleaned each of my garments, and actually pointed out everything I had forgotten to tell them. I had a couple of stains (grass and coffee) that they completely eliminated with absolutely no trace left behind. You can really trust these guys to do a great job, even with the most delicate items.
