University Laundry & Cleaners

Going back to Comet! I almost believe these people aren’t actually washing my clothes. The pressing on my NICE SHIRTS is terrible. Pants were still dirty. My complaints were useless. All I can say is if you care about your clothes, don’t bring them here! I’m disgusted, my clothes smell dirty after being «dry cleaned» here. M

I agree with the review that says they don’t listen to special instructions. Ever. The service is average, at best, and like Matteo I’m usually 60% satisfied or at most 75%. One thing that really bothered me was how they staple the tag on my ties. I specifically ask them not to, but still most ties are stapled THROUGH the tag on the back. It isn’t hard to staple the tag only and spare my poor tie from getting an unneeded piercing. On at least one occasion the tie tag was either hanging by a thread or detached completely. Also, if there is a stain or something on the tag, they use like 5 staples on the tag telling you so.

I decide to go there because the proximity to where I live. The shirt I took to clean where white, and the final product satisfy me by a 60%, some of them where still stain around the neck. The pants and jacket were excellent. My wife dress too. Price a little high than expected. Other than that I took all my clothes with my nice hangers, worry that they did not give them back at the drop off, I assume that they will be returned at the pick up… wrong! Everything got returned with the cheap shit hangers, and mine are in some employe closet.

I called to inquire about getting 2 dress shirts and the woman answering the phone was so rude! She told me they do not dry clean on the weekends and seemed very irritated. Oh well, I’m taking my business elsewhere.

the only reason they dont get five stars is I hardly ever give anyone five stars. so this is about as good as it gets.
My family had used a local cleaners here for three generations but they decided to close the doors (I think the younger generation just had other interests) so I asked the staff I had done business with for as long as I can recall if they would make a referral. They strongly recommended their old rival University Cleaners.
I gave them a try and have been very happy with the results.
I am a bit of a mess and my shirts always have way too many food and chili stains but somehow they mange to get them clean.
The only extraordinary request I have made is to have leather trim added to the cuffs and collar of a cherished old bush jacket that had seen better days. They enthusiastically and cheerfully got the job done for me.
Locally family owned and run.
Quality work.
Friendly service,
fair price.
so yea… I’m a fan

Being new to the area, I went on the hunt for a dry cleaner. I don’t require too much from a dry cleaner — 1. Clean my clothes, 2. Don’t ruin my clothes, and 3. Be pretty cheap. University Cleaners certainly satisfies all of my exacting criteria. Simply put, they get the job done.
That is not to say this place isn’t notable. There are a few reasons this joint is better than others in Cruces.
First, they’re local. If there’s an option, I always try to support the Mom & Pop joints. I think all the people who work there are related, if not, they have very particular hiring requirements.
Second, the hours here are great. What’s the point of a dry cleaners if they are open 9 – 5 and closed on weekends. The only people who need dry cleaners work from 9 – 5 and have weekends free! Those are great hours for an English major trying to get their tweed jacket cleaned, but for the rest of us, it’s much more convenient to drop your clothes off before or after work. This joint opens at 7, giving most people more than enough time to drop of their clothes and get to work.
Third, it’s pretty cheap. Like two bucks a shirt.
Nothing crazy, just a good dry cleaners. I’m sure their laundry service is also good, I’ve just never used it.
