Emerson Cleaners

Extremely friendly staff and owner is very knowledgable about his profession. A little bit of a drive for me, but worth it. Dry cleaning was great, but I’ll return for the customer service alone.

I dropped a brown leather bag off at Emerson Cleaners. It had some mildew and needed some TLC and I really was nervous about how it would come out, or if it would come out.
Emerson cleaners did the most AMAZING job! I literally could not believe my eyes when I picked up the bag. It is my favorite handbag and I knew I would have been devastated if it did not come out. Emerson cleaners blew my expectations out of the water! I am so thankful to them.
Definitely take your stuff here. You will NOT be disappointed.

My only knock is that they didn’t call me when the jacket was done.
Took my down jacket there after a rip in the material holding zipper was getting worse and worse. Asked for a cleaning, as well.
I was happy that they let me have the option of choosing a less costly fix. Basically they told me that they can order a more expensive zipper, like the one that matched my jacket, or they could just use whatever they had in stock, which may not be matching color. I really appreciated this and went with the cheaper option. The zipper is great. They had to make some tweaks to the actual jacket, but I am fine with that (the removed the top button). If you are picky with your high end clothes, then be sure to talk with them about that first.
They also cleaned the jacket.
They did forget to close a rip in the pocket.
A cleaning and fixed zipper on a Michael Kors jacket for $ 65. Not bad!

Excellent, professional service.
My wife and I have been sending our dry cleaning to Emerson Cleaners for many, many years.
Year in and year out they are consistently friendly, professional and do a fantastic job on all of our dry cleaning and tailoring.
Fast turn around whenever needed and expert service on any difficult work. You can send anything to them and know it will be cared for properly.

I recently made a mess of a favorite dress and had to send the dress by fedex to Stanley to rescue. He worked miracles and my dress is now in perfect shape, without sign of any stain. And he charged me $ 17, which I think was very reasonable (since I know the dress arrived in really bad shape).

I am in love with my dry cleaners & tailors, Mike & Stanley. Emerson Cleaners is a perfect example of the ideal neighborhood shop — run by good people who are exceedingly knowledgeable about their «craft» and who love what they do. They have given me «free» advice on many occasions on how to take better care of quality fabrics. I get many things altered here as well. Their facilities are always clean and organized. They are fast and fair and enjoyable to interact with. They are an honorable establishment and a pleasure to do business with. I appreciate having them in my neighborhood.

Really helpful and nice staff — and they do great work. Have brought in a couple of items I was sure were stained for life — these guys do magic.

Emerson Cleaners is by far the BEST dry cleaner in Boston. I used them when I lived in Southie. I live in the suburbs now and still do. Great personal service and they can remove any stain. From iron marks on velvet to red wine on leather to finger nail polish on a leather purse. They have never disappointed me. The absolute best!

This was my regular dry cleaner when I lived in Southie. I’m back in town this weekend for a wedding and popped in to see if they could quickly steam my dresss that had gotten wrinkled in my luggage. I was expecting to drop it off and pick it up an hour or two later. Nope. They did it right then, on the spot, and it was «on the house.» Such nice people and great service!

Love this place! The staff is so friendly and extremely gracious for your business. I have had a number of items tailored and drycleaned here and I’ve always been very pleased. Their pricing for dry cleaning is competitive but I think their tailoring prices are a steal! A pair of pants hemmed and a dress taken in (needed to rip out and replace the zipper to take in) for $ 35=AMAZING!!! Their turnaround time is awesome too. I cannot say enough good things about this place.

I’m updating my previous review. Emerson Cleaners sent me a note saying they now offer military a 20% discount. I think that is a great thing to offer a bit of support for our wonderful military :)

Visited Emerson Cleaners for the first time last week. Great place! Great service. Couldn’t have gone to a better place. Very convenient. A little pricey, but if you want amazing service, you won’t mind paying a few extra dollars!

Had a brand new silk dress that got a drink all over the front. Emerson’s was the only place that I trusted would get it out and they did. It was definitely expensive at around $ 38.00 but it was worth it to save my designer dress. I would highly suggest going there for your expensive goods that need to be saved. Only con is that it is cash only and expensive.

In addition to being extremely friendly, they are also extremely good at what they do. The owner is a magician with spots, and I am an expert at staining my clothes, so this place is an excellent fit for me. I have had jeans and pants hemmed here and they have done some minor sewing repairs as well. I would be so thrilled if they would stay open late one night a week —-just til 7!

Emerson cleaners is my dry cleaner of choice in Southie. The staff is friendly and remember me by name when I come in. I live on the other side of town and make the trek over to Emerson to get my shirts done. Shirts are done on time, odor free, and never lost or damaged.

This was not my regular dry cleaner, but I was in a jam and needed a suit cleaned in less than 24 hours. I explained my situation and they were able to help me out. Very thankful for their great customer service. I plan to continue going here!

Great dry cleaner with excellent customer service. Be warned! You can only pay in cash. Hours are very early to around 5pm. They let you bring your dog in! They have their dog there sometimes too. I had a pair of jeans hemmed and they did a great job. You have to pay for good quality!

The owner is a chemist and there is practically no stain he cannot remove. His only rule is DON’T try to remove the stain yourself… don’t apply water, soda water, spot remover or anything. Just leave it as is and bring it to him. I have moved from Southie and still bring items with tough stains back here from out of state.

It’s true, they are expensive, but they’ve never lost or ruined my clothes. In fact, they’ve actually fixed some things I thought were hopelessly stained, torn, etc. The staff is really friendly and they offer a variety of services including alterations and storage.
One thing that is a little weird is that they ask you when you want to pick up your stuff. I’ve always wondered if the price changes based on your answer. I’m still not sure.
*Update, the price is the same if you want your clothes the next day or in a week. I guess I should have just asked. One more reason that Emerson Cleaners is the best in the business.

A little pricey… but they let me take my dog inside and feed her treats! That makes it worth the extra money for me!
