New Shiny Dry Cleaners

Good place to hem pants. Cost is $ 15, which is in line with what everyone else charges.

They charged me more than what they post in their shop, but that’s fine. My negative experience was that I had them dry clean a gown with sequins on it. I know sequins can be iffy sometimes, but the sequins were completely gone off my dress when I picked it up. I wasn’t mean or rude I don’t think. I only brought it to their attention and asked if there was anything they could do – their business is dry cleaning, so I would have thought they would have told me they might have an issue with the sequins before accepting it, so maybe I would not have dry cleaned it. When I asked for money back, the owners literally, actually, laughed in my face. I could’ve let the bad experience go, things happen, but it is pretty upsetting to have a bad experience made worse when the store owners are completely dismissive and laughing at you.

With so many laundromats closing on the UWS I went hunting on Unilocal for a new place to drop off my standard items… bedding, towels, basic clothes. I hate to leave a poor review when we can’t afford to lose more UWS laundry services but please please let this be a low point they bounce back from. I dropped off on a weekday and rushed over to pick up before they closed on Friday only to discover they closed 20 minutes early. I figured it’s a small place and I let it slide.
I pick up my laundry the next day and bring my items home. I open the bag and tear through the plastic. Everything stinks. My laundry doesn’t smell clean. It’s disgusting. I think they soaked my items in used dirty water and then put them through the dryer. I have to go and get everything rewashed all over again. I don’t want to sleep on the sheets– they might give me a rash or something. I guess it’s back to the other place that is only a little sketchy but at least they return my items clean when they do return them.

This time… I was amazed. I had a really nice winter 100% wool coat which I have being wearing for the past 5 years. However, I found there’s a huge whole in the back of my coat… I came here wishing they can at least make the who less invisible… BUT I can’t find where my original damage is when I get my coat back. It looks like a brand new coat again. They did such a managing job. tailoring, change of high quality lining, and dry clean comes $ 80 total. Great price here in upper west. Would def coming back again.

Don’t be fooled by the convenient location… Sad to write a poor review as the owners are lovely… but in time you too will start to wonder if they actually wash your clothing or merely starch them. And then you too will find splotches all over your blouse… and they will not cover the damage!

Came here and got a dress tailored in time for a wedding. Husband and wife family owned place, helps if you speak Korean. Lower prices for tailoring than other UWS places I’ve tried ($ 40-​something to hem a dress and take it in on all sides as the dress was a couple sizes too big for me).

Great little place around the corner from where I live. I highly recommend it if you’re looking to get your laundry done without having to go to the laundromat. I usually drop off my clothes in the morning before work and pick it up on my way home! Same day wash and fold! The prices are inexpensive and they always do a good job. Also, as others have mentioned, the clothes folding is impressive. So far, I have nothing negative to say. They return my clothes washed, folded and all there!

This place is fantastic! I’ve only been taking my dry cleaning here for the past three months, but I have zero complaints up to this point. My clothing always comes back looking great, and I usually have it back in two days. The only exception is one leather item that I’ve brought in (a dress with a significant amount of leather paneling), which needs a special type of cleaner. They only receive this cleaner once a week, so leather items may have a slower turnaround time (and cost more to be cleaned). They let you know in advance though!
Random note: The only time I can bring my dry cleaning in is before work, so the location of this place is clutch (only if you live in the area, obviously). I work in Midtown West, so I can hop on the ²⁄₃ immediately after dropping off my dry cleaning in the morning.
To the reviewer who mentioned mandatory pre-​paying: that hasn’t been my experience. I pre-​pay myself, but it’s completely voluntary. The first time I took my dry cleaning here they actually seemed surprised that I wanted to pay beforehand. Who knows!

Based on good reviews I brought my coat here for cleaning. Worst service ever! Owner insisted that I pre-​pay for cleaning. I’ve never had a dry-​cleaner that insisted that the customer pre-​pay entire amount for cleaning. Perhaps a deposit but entire amount?

I went here because of the positive Unilocal-​reviews. I brought a bunch of dresses and blouses and blazers and am sorry to say that the place did not live up to my expectations. They looked clean enough but the items that smelled of sweat when I went here smelled even worse when I got them back and the under arm stains on one of my blouses were even more visible, it was almost as it they were «burned-​in» to the blouse. I will now have to throw that one away. For basic cleaning with no particular stains or smells this place might be fine but I wouldn’t go again.

They ruined my favorite silk shirt, and I have no idea how it was even possible to make holes. Dress came back with stains on it which I later easily removed with ordinary stain remover. Clothes were not ironed properly. Moreover, they don’t deliver or pick-​up if it is further than 2 – 3 blocks. So it was my first and last time I used their services. Hope someone else is luckier!

I came in here as I needed the lining of my All Saints jacket replaced, pocket fixed and coat cleaned. In mid town, I got a few quotes for all of the above for $ 275.00 and up, New Shiny Dry Cleaners completed all of the above for $ 95.00. To say they did a great job is an understatement, the coat was impeccably cleaned, it looks better than brand new… the lining and new pocket are better than what was there originally and looks like it is all original and never was replaced. The work is quality and impeccable, no short cuts taken with great attention to detail. I was really nervous bringing in my $ 600.00 jacket for repairs and now am happy i know that this business meets and surpasses my expectations.

Great little family-​run cleaners and tailors. They’re respectful, efficient, fast, and so nice.

I just started coming here because it’s so near to where I live and they’re great. I’ve used them for laundry, dry cleaning, and alterations and everything has been up to par and fairly priced. Stop in and give them a try.

Great service and exceptional tailoring. Although they are not the largest cleaner in the area the service is far and above anywhere else in the area. Highly recommended.

Wonderful family-​run dry cleaners and tailor!

Shiny Dry Cleaners are great– I always bring all my dry cleaning here and get my alterations done and everything is done at a very reasonable price and with a very quick turn around time.
I some how put a lot of holes in my sweaters and they have been able to fix everything and make it look just like new. I highly suggest them if you live in the neighborhood!

Mr. Soon and his wife own this tobbler shop (meaning they don’t do the laundry, they are the middleman/​woman for other places that do) that just happen to be across the street from the first place I lived in New York.
My roommates at the time said not to go there, that they would lose or damage my clothes and that they’d make excuses when things weren’t done on time.
Thank goodness for my laziness as I gave them a shot anyway and never had a problem. They always made the extra effort to get my laundry (which I inevitably turned in after 9:30) done the same day and usually turned wash/​press jobs on my dress shirts back the next day.
She did a great job doing any alterations I needed and they never seemed exorbitant in charging me for any work I had done.
The only downside is that they close at 7 on weeknights and are closed on Sunday. Inevitably I’d drop off my laundry on Friday morning and not get it back ’til Monday ’cause I couldn’t make it in during the weekend.
They deliver, but it’s usually Mr. Soon or his wife and that always made me feel bad, so I just went and picked it up.
