Ace Cleaners

³⁄₅ it is what it is.
i do my best to not own/​wear dryclean-​only clothing. but sometimes, it happens. i’ve found that when i then need those garments cleaned, that this place is convenient and reliable. they will generally be able to turn your stuff around in a few days and will have it ready by when they say they will. i once requested for something for under 72 hours and it was doable without extra charge.
they have a system that stores your phone number, which i assume is another way they can find your stuff if you loose the little lavender ticket. for pants and a cardigan, it’ll run you about $ 10ish, and i unfortunately don’t have much other market research on hand for larger needs.

Not the cheapest dry cleaner in town, but they’ve done a fine job on both men’s and women’s shirts and pants brought in over the past few months. They seem to have their own plant in the back which is actually a bit unique these days and I presume they don’t have the volume to continually keep up with current technology and buy new equipment but in terms of the finished product everything has been fine so far. No complaints, and I’m a fan, plus they take credit cards (even American Express) in case you don’t have cash on you.

I used to like this place. It was my go-​to dry cleaners for a few years, and only once did they forget to re-​attach a belt to one of my dresses that had to be removed pre-​cleaning. And then last week, I picked up several items I had dropped up to get dry cleaned only to discover after getting them home that they smelled anything but clean. Can’t really describe it but it was so bad that I was taken aback by the odor. That’s $ 55 down the drain, and a loss of my patronage to their business.

Dropped off a gorgeous (and rather expensive) dress there only to have it ruined. I wore it once. That’s $ 200 down the drain. I’ve also sent other things there, and the end results were sub par.

I dropped off several dresses and a skirt. They did an excellent job getting water stains out of a silk dress. They were also very accommodating about alterations — zipper replacement and stitching up the neckline of a dress for a bit more modesty, quality work all for an extremely reasonable price. All done within a week, although there was no pickup date given when I dropped off which I found to be a bit odd.

ALERT !
After happy years here, we had to quit using this conveniently-​located outfit when they changed pressers and ruined numerous pairs of slacks, cargo pants, and a photo-​vest.
The new presser crushes and melts everything.
Our complaints were not comprehended by the nice little Asian Ladies, who answer with blank stares.
Try Liberto’s, further up the same street, for much better service !

I went to Ace earlier today with a silk bridesmaid dress and sash. The seamstress who helped me said the spots wouldn’t come out with dry cleaning. She told me I should wash the items by hand and bring them back to be pressed. I have had so many dry cleaners take my clothes, charge me an arm and a leg, and not clean my clothes; it was refreshing to have such an honest woman helping me. I’ll definitely go back!

Glad to find a decent dry cleaners near my house. Dropped off two skirts, a jacket and a blouse, total cost was just over $ 26. All items returned cleaned, although there’s some lingering odor (NOT from the dry-​cleaning, these were user-​created odors) in a couple items of clothing. To be fair, I hadn’t pointed these out when I dropped off the items, just figured they would come out in the cleaning process. So you may want to be sure to point out any trouble spots when you drop off. The staff did an *excellent* job of getting out all the cat fur matted into one of my wool black skirts.
As another reviewer said — nothing special, but no strikes against them. Glad they took credit cards. I would use again for run of the mill dry-​cleaning jobs.

I had 6 dresses and 3 (men’s) shirts dry cleaned here recently. Total bill was $ 70 (~$ 9 a dress and $ 3.50 a shirt + tax) and they accept credit cards. Everything looked clean and well pressed. No weird chemical smell as another reviewer stated.
The owner (I assume) spoke English well so communication wasn’t a problem, but I definitely felt rushed like she didn’t have time for me to specifically point out stains I wanted removed. When I picked up my items, one dress was missing from the batch — so definitely check your items before leaving.
LOVE the Pomeranian they have running around. It’s insanely small and cute (and yappy).
Overall, it was a fine place to get your clothes cleaned. Nothing special but nothing that would keep me from recommending it either. I’d like to try out their alterations services — I was quoted $ 10 for dress hems w/​o lining and $ 9 for pants — standard fare. I’ll Unilocal about the alterations whenever I get around to dropping clothes off again.

I want to love Ace. I REALLY want to. They’re conveniently located, affordable, super nice and that cute pomeranian is always sitting near the door to greet my drop off and pickup. However this is the second time that I’ve got my clothes back and they smell like they’ve been sitting in an auto repair shop for a week. I thought it would go away but I’m actually wearing my Susanna Monaco dress now, and even after spritzing perfume on it before leaving home, I still keep smelling that weird, dirty smell… next time I’ll spend a few more dollars and use One Cleaners.

Been coming here to get my nice clothes cleaned since I moved here. I also had alterations done. The quality of work they do is good and I can get my clothes back in a timely manner. Some people, however, might get discourage because the people who work there speak with Asian accents. They are really nice and I talk to them about my time living in Asia. Just be patient and be an active listener.
