HLP Dry Cleaner

Best cleaners ever. Super sweet. Kind service. Great job. Fair price. I’ve been to two others on this street that don’t even clean the whites. Looks like they just ironed my dirty shirt. But HLP cleans very well. Love them.

Connie is AMAZING! She always sets great expectations, my clothes come back perfect, she is delightful, and I love dropping my clothes off.

Connie is the absolute best. She is extremely reliable and one of the nicest people you’ll meet. In addition to weekly laundry/​dry cleaning, she’s helped me with numerous alterations. I highly recommend HLP Cleaners!

Connie is super sweet and very reasonable with dates and pricing. She knows your name and makes you feel like a respected customer. She’s done repairs, dry cleaning and wash and fold for me, all services were excellent and very affordable.

almost 4 years later and still using their wash and fold services. HLP does a great job — better than my mom since there’s no judgmental comments on why I’m not doing my own laundry but quality almost as good.
Here’s why you should use HLP cleaners:
1. They will wash your clothes to your specifications if you sort them out that way (hot/​warm/​cold wash) and put a note in the sorted out bags; they don’t overheat your clothes.
2. They return your clothes folded so nicely that often you won’t have to iron your clothes if you put them away properly or hang them up immediately. Even if you don’t, they’ll still look good when you wear them. My mom was visiting and she was impressed by how good a job they did.
3. I did the math and it would be worth your while to drop off your clothes at HLP Cleaners instead of dragging them to the local laundromat and spending time doing them yourself.
4. They don’t miss deadlines. If they say they will have your clothes ready by a certain date/​time, they will have your clothes ready by then.
FYI, I think that over the years, they may have lost a couple of pillowcases as I can’t find them. The only other disadvantage I could see of using HLP cleaners is that you might lose out on meeting that certain someone in your life by not going to the local laundromat to do your laundry. You can always alleviate this lack in your life by cruising the local laundromats — here’s how: take a book /​newspaper /​notepad to peruse at the local joint while you scope out the prospects. When you see a likely one, make eye contact and take it from there. If necessary, you can always commandeer one of the temporarily abandoned loads of clothes as yours.
HLP Cleaners is run by a nice Chinese lady who is all about good customer service. Her english is ok but is sufficient to get by. I haven’t tried their dry cleaning services.
If you are too busy, too scared, too tired, or in too much pain to wash, dry, and fold your own clothes, HLP Cleaners is your business to frequent.
HLP Cleaners, the clean clothes killer of laundromat romances ;)

First the good points: HLP was able to dry clean my shirt in a few days (even though it was a holidy week), while some other nearby dry cleaners gave a week long turnaround time. Also, the price ($ 5) was in line with other nearby cleaners and the lady there was super sweet. So I hate to give a mediocre review, but I was a bit disappointed for two reasons:
1) I brought in a wing collar shirt (for a tuxedo) rather than the more common laydown collar type of shirt. HLP folded the collar as if it was laydown, leaving an ugly crease. I brought it to a different dry cleaner the next week, and they did it properly. Only the «wings» in front are supposed to be folded. I wouldn’t expect a normal Joe off the street to get this right (I certainly wouldn’t have before I bought the shirt), but I think it’s reasonable to expect laundering professionals to know the difference.
2) I asked whether I should launder or dry clean the shirt, and she said I should definitely do the (more expensive) dry clean. But the next week when I washed it again, the other dry cleaner immediately answered that normal laundering would be fine, and it was.

This place is great. Friendly service, great dry cleaning. She did a great job altering a very delicate dress with gauzy material. Highly recommend!

Really nice people, quick service and reasonable prices. What more do you need? Well they are really good at what they do as well.

I am writing this for the Bush St. location — in the 900 block — they share facilities, I think. Joseph is amazing. He is very friendly, remembers my name, knows exactly how I like my shirts (I have a couple of standing «special» requests), and he DELIVERS! No more stopping somewhere else, picking up my shirts, and schlepping them home. He also has done a fabulous job on blankets, comforters and even pillows!

found this on Unilocal.indeed terrific and helpful laundry. what more can one say? GO.

So nice and accommodating! I brought in a HUGE bag of clothes before a trip and they made sure I got everything cleaned asap, within 2 days. AMAZING.
The prices are totally reasonable too.
I’ve had some horror stories with dry cleaners in the past, and this place is amazing!

I took five different jackets in for alterations. Some just needed the sleeves hemmed. Some had very detailed work done, like hemming the bottom of the jacket and raising the pockets up an inch and sewing the vents shut in the back. I brought another jacket in a few years back that I needed taken in quite a bit — a job that seemed impossible even to the seamstress there.
On all my coats, she did an AMAZING job. There is no sign work was done. I travel half way across the city to get my stuff done in this little neighborhood shop. I won’t trust anyone else with my good clothes.

This placed handled my rush request wih no problem and the lady at the desk was very friendly and courteuos. Everything came out great! they also have some really good candies on the counter to eat!

I’m perpetually late —- so it’s no surprise that I’d be late everytime I went to HLP. I always knock on the door, 5 minutes after 7pm (when they close), however, they always open their closed doors when they see me running by. I love them for that.
If you ever need something in a rush, the nice lady will do everything possible to get you your clothes on time. Plus, they do an incredibly amazing job with tailoring/​washing/​dry cleaning.
The prices are pretty good too!
A true neighborhood joint — I’m incredibly lucky to live so close to them!

I had a a terrible, I mean a horrendous experience from an SF dry cleaner (Progressive Cleaners on Fillmore). So, when I moved to my new hood, I had no expectations whatsoever. That’s when HLP Cleaners comes in. I feel like they were my official welcoming party.
1. After inspection, there are no wrinkles on my blouses! Woo hoo! I don’t have to re-​iron! Is HLP spoiling me or was Progressive Cleaners just lazy?
2. Prices are very reasonable!
3. I have a thing for mom & pop shops. The owner, he’s not very talkative or Mr. Aloha, but he’s friendly. Based on the way he talks to me, I know he’s truly appreciative & grateful for my business.
That’s why I make extra effort to go to him for my drycleaning needs versus the one downstairs at work.

Good rates, really fast turnaround, and they’ll drop off my clothes at my building so I don’t have to pick them up.

dreamy. when it comes to my greatgrandma’s silk bellbottoms circa, 1932, I’d trust no one else.

I’ve lived in San Francisco a few years now, and I can’t stress how important the relationship is between you and your dry cleaner.
Whether it’s wash and fold or getting that load of dress shirts and pants clean for the upcoming week, your dry cleaner can make your life pleasantly easy or an absolute hell.
HLP is truly an awesome establishment. It’s run by an Asian couple (I think they have a location on Bush St as well) who are very nice and accommodating to your schedule. They try to make exceptions if you need something back sooner than normally allowed, and just generally try to keep you happy with your service.
100% recommended, no doubt.
