Alpine Cleaners & Laundromat

Wash and fold is affordable. I tell them how I want my laundry done: with what temperature water and the detergent/​fabric softener I bring in.

I love this place. The doormen where I live (Financial District) recommended it to me as a wash & fold alternative to the valet service in my own building. You simply call to set up a pick-​up, give them your credit card number, tell them what service you are requesting, then they bring you a bright green bag with your information printed on it. In addition to wash and fold, they also do dry cleaning for clothes and linens.
I have had no problems with their service (and I have been using them for approximately 5 months). It’s completely reasonably priced. I think I pay $ 1 per pound for 8lbs. The dry cleaning is also reasonable for the neighborhood. After you make the initial phone call, you just leave the laundry bags in the lobby of your building, then they clean and return it to you. There’s usually a one day turnaround, which is fantastic.
In my old building, I used New Fresh Cleaners’ delivery service and spent almost twice as much. Their service was so much worse — they never delivered on time, always problems with the credit card, etc. Alpine works so well for me because if I ever need to call them, the woman who answers the phone is extremely responsive and always helps me solve the issue.
I would recommend Alpine Cleaners to anyone in the Financial District who lives in a doorman building looking for a reasonably-​priced wash & fold and dry cleaning service. Not sure how they are for non-​doormen buildings, but based on my experience, I’m sure they would be great.

Everyone in our small walk-​up building has been using this cleaners for their delivery service for a while. We had used them for over a year running into multiple issues before deciding to try and find a new delivery service.
Our first issue came when we sent a load of laundry for wash and fold and nearly half of it was dry cleaned unnecessarily and without our consent. This led to a grossly expensive laundry bill which was infuriating. We now ensure to leave a note specifying wash and fold only.
Recently, we’ve noticed that something has changed and each load of laundry we’ve sent in has shrunk. They have been managing to consistently shrink items that have already been shrunk to the point that we’ve had several articles of clothing completely ruined. This is entirely unacceptable and we will no longer be using this service.

Never had a problem really, prices are good as well. I don’t know how they clean organically and I wish there was info about it on a website or something since that would be awesome. I’ve only had to call a couple times to change my credit card on the account and they haven’t messed anything up. The cleaning is always fast and they pickup/​deliver from my building.
I can’t complain, though there isn’t anything crazy outstanding (kind of hard in this business especially since I’ve never been to the store before).

Avoid! Charged me double!!!
Dropped off two shirts and a suit, asked the guy if I should pay now or later and he says «either is ok» so I paid at drop off. Come to pick up on Monday, and they won’t give me my clothes unless I paid AGAIN because they didn’t have record. So, it’s my fault they have shit records. Don’t go there.

First time trying them=massive fail.
Why bother having an online laundry pick-​up and delivery system if you completely fail to use it?
My first attempt at using them was yesterday. I went to the handy website and asked for a same day pick up, brought my laundry downstairs, and went to run my errands. Hoping that my laundry had been picked up, I only worried about it this afternoon. I called to see if a) it had been picked up and b) if I could arrange credit card payment. The guy barely spoke English and could not figure out if my laundry had or had not been picked up, couldn’t get my number right, and couldn’t get my name right after 5 attempts to spell it for him. After that I figured I should assume they didn’t do shit. I came home, asked my doorman if there was laundry, looked in the bag and saw that it was all dirty laundry.
I’m sorry, but how hard is it to do your job right? After failing so miserably that I’m embarrassed for them, they will never get my business and I don’t recommend sending business their way. You get what you deserve. You want new customers, do your job. You want repeat customers, you do your job. It’s a simple concept. You want respect, you earn it. This place shouldn’t even stay in business

I dropped off my laundry there, few hours later I got a text ! Woohoo ! Your laundry is ready for a pick up seriously ?? Isn’t that amazing when you feel like they are passionate about doing a job well done & customers happy. Smelled so crispy & fresh like never before. I highly recommend Alpine Cleaners @ Charlie.

This review is strictly for their cleaners, not the laundry. By Manhattan standards, their prices are more than reasonable. They pick up, they deliver. I dropped off a suit midday and was able to retrieve it in the evening. They did a wonderful job as my dry cleaners in Sacto gave my suit a funky-​ass smell, and they were able to remove it.
I wish Alpine was on the other coast but alas, I know where I’m taking my dry cleaning when I visit family.
Don’t worry that it’s located in the pj’s, this is what the faux Manhattanites call «Twin Bridges.»
My only question: how exactly are they able to dry clean organically?

I took my coat in to hem 1 ¾″ off the sleeves and they did exactly that! It’s under new management. The witch is gone and Charlie was just so nice~~ go visit charlie and alpine~ :) excellent customer service.

The finally got rid of that nasty asian lady. The new guy, Charlie, is a über nice and friendly. Looking forward to more friendly visits. Thanks.

DO NOT drop off your clothes here for per-​pound cleaning.
Everything they washed for me SHRUNK.
And that’s quite a feat considering some of the shirts in the batch were at least 10 years old.
I literally don’t understand how it’s possible to significantly shrink non-​new, previously-​washed, cotton clothes, but they manage it.
Learn from my poor, shrunken wardrobe and avoid this place’s per-​pound laundry service!

Sorry to see so many bad reviews. I live in the Seaport and have been using Alpine for 7 years. I don’t equate them to the best upper east side establishments, but they have always been helpful and accomodating. I think some people here need not be quite so narcissistic in their reactions.

Terrible job on my shirts. The Asian woman that runs the place is shockingly rude and just angry about everything. I wouldn’t ever use them again.

Overpriced machines, irritable staff, and inconvenient hours … I only go here because it’s right by my house.

The best cleaners you can find in the lower east side, free delivery and pickup is always a bonus.
