GR’S Cleaners & Laundry

I love this place. They take great care of my clothing, their prices are cheap, and they are always helping me out (Grace accepts packages for me sometimes and one of the guys there offered to help me carry my air conditioner up 5 flights of stairs).
Totally worth not having to do your own laundry…

Laundry Service (recommend):
I’ve used GR’s to do my laundry for a few months now. My wife and I take about 2 weeks worth of laundry and it usually costs about 20 – 25 bucks. The service is quick (same day) and good enough for our needs. Clothes can be a bit static-​y at times, but overall it’s been good.
Alterations (don’t recommend):
Alterations are a bit of a different story. I really wish I had measured my jeans before taking them in, I sincerely doubt they took off what I asked. I was also disappointed they didn’t texture the jeans below the new seam. I could’ve easily done the job just as well myself, and I’m no seamstress.

OK laundry in general, but they lost an old hoodie of mine (not a big deal) and another time included a shirt that didn’t belong to me. They also give you a lot of ‘tude if you want to use your own laundry detergent or need something washed in warm/​cold water instead of hot.
Definitely going to try out other places in the area.

I just created a Unilocal account specifically so that I could set the record straight on this place. I went here for tailoring because Time Out NY lists this as a recommended spot in Park Slope. They are wrong. Do NOT take any garments here.
I brought a jumpsuit in to have the shoulders lengthened and came back to find that it had been shortened by several inches. Thus began the nightmare of trying to get them to fix this, which just ended with my FIFTH visit to try it on and pick it up. At this point, a shoulder detail has been sewn on upside down and ragged, uneven mending is exposed along the back. I kid you not, this is the result of asking them to lengthen the straps of a garment by 2 inches, which should be a piece of cake.
In addition, one shirt that I had dry cleaned now has a stretched area in the neck and the other shirt was returned without the stain being removed. If dry-​cleaning doesn’t remove the stain, that’s fine, just let me know when I come to pick it up.
Lesson learned: Ignore Time Out NYC’s tailoring recommendations, and NEVER COME HERE AGAIN.

It was the first time I’d used a wash-​and-​fold laundry service in 12 years. So, when I schlepped three weeks of laundry to this small, unassuming storefront laundry, I thought I’d be spending a lot of money.
When I picked up my clothes (ever-​so-​efficiently-​and-​compactly folded into their happy mesh bag), and the manager told me it was going to be less than $ 20, I said «REALLY? That’s so cheap.» Without missing a beat, she replied, «I can charge you more if you want.» Thus began a relationship with the local laundry I love most.
GR’s ain’t fancy, but I love ‘em. The people are really nice — I’ve even said hello on the phone to the manager’s mother who lives in the Phillippines. And they get the job done. Enough said.
