Whitman Cleaners & Tailors

This review is for the same company, Whitman Cleaners, at their 2301 Cherry Street location.
Absolutely horrible! If I could give 0 stars I would. I dropped a dress off to be hemmed on Oct 7^th and was told it would be ready on the 11^th. In fact, the receipt even says the 11^th. Went to pick it up on the 11^th and was then told it wasn’t going to be ready until the 13^th. No explanation, no apologies. Went back on the 13^th and it still wasn’t ready, they told me they meant Saturday the 18^th. Mind you, the receipt clearly says Saturday the 11^th. I also don’t think it would ever take a professional almost 2 weeks to hem a dress.
After paying the $ 25, again no apology or any remorse, I take my dress home and vow never to return. Upon taking my off-​white dress out of the bag, the entire bottom is covered in dirt stains. This is a brand new dress, with tags on it… that I never wore or even tried on until I took it there to be hemmed. Now I have to take it somewhere else and pay more money for cleaning.
This is literally the worst dry cleaner in the universe as previously mentioned by another reviewer!

I have twice taken modestly stained clothing to Whitman’s Bala Cynwyd location only to have them tell me that they «tried three times» to remove the stains but had no luck. Well, yesterday I took the dress they couldn’t clean home and spot treated it myself with bleach. Voilà! No more stain.
If I can get a stain out, a professional dry cleaner sure as heck should be able to. Don’t waste your money (they are excessively pricey) or time — take your nice clothes somewhere else.

This place is overprice but they did do a decent job on my tailoring and the owners are nice folks.

The Collegeville place ruined my favorite Calvin Klein dress shirt.
Bastards.

Expensive! Very nice people. I had to use them as a last resort. I’ll wait out the storm next time for Linn Cleaners. who are the city’s absolute best!

My favorite Japanese old head still runs this place. Been going here since I was little for alterations and cleanings, though, she has gotten a little expensive. Your kid will also get a Dum Dum during your visit/.

I moved to Philadelphia last summer and desperately needed to find a reliable cleaners and alterations place since I am in the military and have the need for this service. I stumbled across this place in South Philadelphia and gave it a shot. These folks are extremely nice and they have a talented alternations person. They have hemmed pants, jeans and even shortened the sleeves on an expensive leather jacket for me. They are open on Saturdays as well. I highly recommend them for all you dry cleaning or alteration needs.
