Sutton’s Dry Cleaners

Good service but TOO PRICEY and BAD HOURS.
I’ve been on the lookout for another dry cleaner after having a bad experience with my previous drycleaner of 5 years.
I’m adamant about staying in my area so there are about 3 – 4 to choose from.
Dropped off 4 pieces for drycleaning.
1 blouse $ 5.96
2 dresses $ 20.08
1 skirt $ 5.46
I was APPAULED when they gave me the ticket! I rolled with it ONLY because I was in a time crunch and needed a particular garment for an event.
But MY GOSH!!! $ 10.00 to dryclean a dress!!! ONE DRESS!!! Almost $ 6.00 for one blouse! ONE BLOUSE!
Honestly, the main reason why I began frequenting a dry cleaner is to maintain my clothes instead of buying new ones… but damn, at these prices, I can just buy a new piece.
Then, the cherry ontop was that I rode over there on a Saturday around 1:00pm to pick up my garments because I needed one of the dresses for Monday… and CLOSED!!! WHAT?!!
Their hours on Saturday are 8:30 AM — 12:00 PM. WHY!!!
I get OFF from work on the weekday at 6:00pm, their closing time. I’m not amenable to such a tight timeline on Saturdays… my one of two days of leisure. Atleast close at 3 or 4. Just a tip — Working folks use their weekends to run errands because we don’t have the luxury of doing them during the week.
That meant I had to put on my makeup, stockings, do my hair and throw on sweatpants and a tshirt on Monday, drive to Suttons that morning, get my dress and um, finish getting dressed in the damn car! Needless to say, that action set the tone for my entire week.
So STRIKE TWO.
Hmmm, I really liked them being a locally owned and operated business… but it seems like they’ve not updated their business practices in a long time and may only service a particular segment of Baton Rouge… which does not include the unwealthy and working.

Always a fast turn around and I’ve never had a bad experience or clothes ruined. Everyone is always friendly. PLUS they have they a drive-​thru, which makes up for the hard-​to-​pull-​out of parking lot that faces Government Street.
