Judy’s Cleaners

I’ve been to Judy’s Cleaner’s with my Husband’s Marine Corps Dress Blues. We needed them dry cleaned on rush order for his Grandfather’s funeral. Like 24 hour turnaround time. They were done on time and cleaned. Passed my husband’s inspection! Whew! That’s a high standard…
I have brought them a faded, dirty, missing button, bright blue children’s coat (of wonderful quality that I hated to lose) and they took it in, redid the buttons with some I had brought in, cleaned it within an inch of it’s poor little life, and even brought back the color instead of fading it out further. I got handed a completely brought back to life coat.
My good friend is a mortician, and a former preacher, and he has been bringing his Sunday suits here forever he said, and was the one that recommended this little gem of a shop.
Yes, it’s about $ 11 to $ 20 dollars a cleaning for winter coats, but we live in an exacting household that is incredibly fastidious about appearance. The ladies that work in the shop know us from the uniform now and have been taking care of us every time with fast and good quality work my meticulous USMC husband can seriously appreciate.
The only thing I can recommend is try them out. Be polite. It’s a crowded little shop on entrance, and squeezing in and out, is really only a half star off… I think it is run by a family, and they do tailoring right there in the front window. I would love for them to open the front window so you could tell that they have someone on site. The building is also right in my neighborhood! I can pop around the corner and walk there in a few minutes.

I needed to get a bridesmaid dress altered for a friend’s wedding during both prom and wedding season. A coworker referred me to Judy’s Cleaners. The location is a little sketchy (bars on the windows), but overall I was very pleased with the work. I got my dress taken in and hemmed. It was ready in a week. The work was good quality and the price can’t be beat.

I was passing through Knoxville for a couple of days and sent two shirts and a suit to be cleaned here. While the suit was okay they ruined my shirts. The french cuffs looked like they were ironed on the wrong side. When I folded them over to put in the cuff links was when I noticed how horrible they looked. The fabric looked as if it has been damaged. Hopefully they can be salvaged. We will see when I take them to be cleaned next time. The prices are good but as they saying goes, «you get what you paid for.» Next time around I will avoid such places. The shop actually looks like a dive so I should have known better.
