Corner Cleaners

Good place. Does really good job with sweaters. Also, they are really honest. I forgot to take out cash from my pocket, and when I came to pick up the clothes, they actually gave it back!!!

I have been going to this place for years and have always thought they were good. But just in the past few months there have been two situations where they went above and beyond. First, my son (25 years old) had a suit cleaned there and he needed it before leaving town at 6:00 AM Monday. He didn’t think he would be back before they closed on Saturday so was in a bit of a bind. They offered to drop it off at our house! (It turns out he got there in time, but still, this put his mind at ease and was very thoughtful of them!)
Then, this week, I sheepishly returned a new pair of pants she had just hemmed up for me, admitting they were too short. (When measuring me, she had suggested they be longer, but I thought they should be shorter and, after it was done, I realized she was right.) I was fully prepared to pay full price to have her hem them a second time but she didn’t charge me anything! That was going above and beyond and I felt I needed to share it on Unilocal

I have gone to this place for three years, and they have been okay for dry cleaning and alterations in general. However, my last visit convinced me to never go back. I had a brand new pair of suit pants altered, and it came back with a small hole in the front below the waist.
Then it dawned on me — this is why several other of my pants and jackets developed holes. I had always thought that it was my high travel lifestyle or the off the rack quality of my clothes. I’ve had no less than six clothing articles develop holes — all of them during my business with Corner Cleaners and, with at least two of them I noticed the holes right after taking off the plastic bag.
This last time with the pants (Hugo Boss so not total crap), I showed the hole to the lady that works the counter and told her the pants were brand new and had nothing wrong with them when I tried them on in the shop for measurement before dropping them off. She suggested maybe it was moths. I told her that I had several other clothes come back with holes and that she shouldn’t charge me for the alteration, but she just kept saying, «I cannot, I cannot» despite being a regular customer for three years. It’s not like moths come flying out of my little closet when I open the door. If anything, the moths are in the shop because they keep the door wide open during warmer months. Or perhaps they just don’t treat clothes with care (all the ones that developed holes were wool though).
She did offer to patch them from the back of the fabric, which didn’t make a bit of difference. It took me a while to realize that this is not the place for me… or anyone who cares about their fine clothing.

Typically-​priced dry cleaning with a quick turnaround. And I’m impressed that even though I only go in every couple of months to drop off or pick up my husband’s shirts, the friendly woman working there (the owner, maybe?) always knows what name our account is under without asking. The only drawback is that it’s sometimes hard to find parking out front.

I’ve been coming here for over 2 years now. Reasonable prices and fast service. For My average drop off is 5 shirts and two pants. About 20 bucks. Hours are very convenient as well.
Also, they have a tailor on site who is very understanding of your needs to take suit pants & jackets in. Recently, I had both done for my favorite suit and they did a get job. They fix jeans as well. Definitely worth it.

For the most part, this place is ok. I love that it’s right by the commuter rail, so I can drop my husband off, and then drop off my dry cleaning. They do a respectable job with my husband’s shirts, and the woman there remembers who I am, which I appreciate.
I did have an incident where they ruined my very special table cloth. It was a $ 200 table cloth, and in trying to remove food stains, they also removed the color. They made a stink about it (mostly the man that works there made a stink), but eventually offered to ‘try again’ (which of course didn’t work), and then they comped me the price that I paid to have the item dry cleaned (in the form of more dry cleaning). Perhaps not enough since it was an expensive item, but I appreciate that they at least did SOMETHING to extend their customer service.

I will start by saying I am writing this review for my sister, an avid fan of dry cleaning. She bought a new top and immediately the precarious loop to the button ripped. Roughly a month later, after the top was cleaned at CC, the loop was magically fixed. She never even mentioned the rip to them in any way. They by far went above and beyond with this action. Whenever I need dry cleaning I am most certainly going to Corner C’s.

Finding a new dry cleaner is like finding a new barber. You want to feel safe, comfortable and know that you’re coming to the right place for your needs. It was only a matter of time before I had to have something dry cleaned and I needed to find a good place near home.
Thankfully down the street sits Corner Cleaners a short 3 minute drive away. With a large full-​size down comforter in hand I walked into the cleaners asking if it could be cleaned for the next day. I was greeted with a smiling face and was told that I could return the following day by noon and my comforter would be all set.
Being an owner of a few cats (more than 3) a good test is seeing how well a dry cleaner can get pet hair off… well, anything! If your items look brand new when you pick them up you have a winner. So, noontime the following day came and I walked into the Corner Cleaners where I was greeted by the same smiling face the day before. I handed my ticket to the woman and was told that my comforter was sitting on the windowsill in one of the plastic bags. Now this was no mere plastic bag, this was a bag of good quality that could be reused if desired.
When I returned home I carefully removed the large blanket from its plastic bag and could not find a single car hair! I’m a happy camper! It’s nice to know there is a great neighborhood cleaners that offers fast service with friendly staff.

DO NOT Clean your dress shirts here. They have destroyed two of my dress shirts in just two visits! I decided to give them a try since they are listed as a «green» dry cleaner even though my current dry cleaner, Queen’s Cleaners in Waltham, have always done a great job.
I was very disappointed when I got the shirts home and the cuff buttons on my brand new Thomas Pink shirt we crushed beyond use. I returned the shirt and they repaired the shirt on the spot but couldn’t replace the extra thick buttons that came with the shirt.
That wasn’t so bad, then I decided to wear my English Laundry shirt that I had cleaned and the built in cuff clinks we completely destroyed. They are made to snap together but are so deformed that they no longer work. And they glass covering of the cuff links are all cracked around the edge. I returned the shirt to them and they said that they would not have put that type of shirt in their press because it would have damaged the shirt. Clearly they did put the shirt in and damage it but they told me that there is nothing they could do for me.
Their customer service is terrible. They destroyed a very expensive shirt and offered me nothing in return. From looking at their operation I have my doubts about their true level of «green».
Do yourself a favor and take your shirts elsewhere to have them cleaned.

You’re a slave to dry cleaning right? You’ve even tried to do it yourself with the dry cleaning sheets in your dryer, but what’s that nasty chemical smell?
You and your clothes deserve better. Stop exposing yourself to unecessary chemicals. And head to an environmentally friendly «wet» cleaner.
Corner Cleaners is one of them. The shop is clean and the service is friendly. The prices are a little higher than traditional dry cleaning, but limiting your exposure to chemicals is a small price.
