Howard’s Prestige Cleaners

Best cleaners in town. Employees are great. Brenda is the best. She is always sweet, and professional. She remembers your name, if you want starch or not, recommends if you should dry clean or launder. Very knowledgeable and great customer service! Good job on hiring the best employee so far

Great dry cleaners who did a great job on my clothes. A little more expensive than I was expecting. I’d go back if I ever needed dry cleaning in the future.

This is by far the best drycleaner in Olympia. They do excellent work and always on time. It’s also more affordable than the others. My shirts are clean and never shrunk. Suits look great. The people who work here are always very friendly.

I changed over to Prestige Cleaners after the you-didn’t-drop-off-a-coat-because-it’s-not-in-the-computer episode at my previous cleaners. We’re talking about a full-​length wool dress overcoat. Not a windbreaker that got lost behind a machine. The first thing I liked about this place was that they gave you a laundry ticket. You know — in case they tell you that you didn’t drop off your coat. The service is friendly, and you get the feeling that when they ask you how much starch you want, they are actually going to pay attention to what you asked for.

Awesome service, with regards to both friendliness and quality of the job. People are genuine. Convenient location/​parking. I’ve never had a rush job but their work has always been ready in a timely manner for us.

My partner needed her vest altered for our wedding. They did a GREAT job and didn’t bat an eye at a woman wearing a man’s vest. The attention to detail was fantastic. Their seamstress is obviously very good. In conversation, she has been doing clothes for a long time. She was very fun to talk to! A hip Oly girl, that has a Ramones-​like fashion sense. Bring anything you need altered here — you will be happy.

Five stars, mainly for the random pictures of Peewee Herman posted throughout the store in amusing ways. The service is always friendly and they do a good job with alterations. No complaints here.
BTW, this must be the one dry cleaners left in the country that is not run by Koreans. OMG!

I’ve been going to Howard’s since it was originally «Howard’s» and continued even when he sold it and his other cleaners, plus his name. Now it’s Howard’s Prestige Cleaners and to me it’s still Howard’s. I’ve never had anything lost in the 30 years I’ve been going there and my laundry has been done professionally all the time and the staff are great.

They do a very fine job, reasonable hours, good location, friendly. But the real reason I frequent this is establishment is that the guy at the counter is hot. Best looking dry cleaner in the south sound — by a long shot.

I have been using this business both at its current location and the previous one since 1983. They do a great job and stand behind their work. I have had about 20 shirts a month done by them for the past ten years so I have a pretty good idea of what kind of work they do. My collars are always spotless and any items left in my pockets are always returned to include cash. They have made a number of repairs on my items that I have never been charged for. They have several very long term employees to include their seamstress who has been with them for at least the last ten years.

I don’t think of myself as a hard to please person. I am patient and friendly but please don’t ever mess with my designer duds. In an effort to get my wardrobe under control I decided to have a bunch of repairs and cleans done and Howards looked like it had some good reviews and I had a coupon. In the space of 3 large orders, in less then a month, they managed to lose the buttons off 3 garments, overcharge me for a repair and, seemingly from the lingering odor, not clean a jacket. One vintage coat they managed to find the buttons but the Barneys of New York, cashmere sweater with lovely, bright, mother-​of-​pearl buttons –gone-​. Vanished. In their place some terribly ugly, dark, faux mother-​of-​pearl buttons. The real kicker is that the sweater was in for cleaning, not repair!!! They replaced my beautiful buttons for no apparent reason. This was not a cheap garment by any stretch of the imagination and the best they offered me in sympathy was a credit for the cleaning. Very, very frustrating. I found the folks at the counter to be very nice and they always seemed to know what they were doing and the services they were offering. Maybe they just don’t ever talk to the people who do the cleaning and repair work. If you are going to go here be VERY explicit in what you want done, make sure they write it down, check your garment for buttons and the bill for overcharges there at the counter or in your car before going home. I wish I had. I took a great Ralph Lauren blazer out of my closet the other day and discovered they lost buttons from it as well! Arghhh!

This dry cleaners used to be great; but since reverting to the original owner, we’ve had nothing but problems. Examples
— Not removing stains
— Removing stains and discoloring the fabric
— Damaging the finish of the material

I had the seamstress repair a seam in a 35 yr old backpack that I hike with. I thought it was trashed, but She did a great job and now it’ll go another 35 yrs! It was cheap, like 2 bucks!!! Awsome.

Having gone here for the past 3 years (when it was both this and the previous business), I hardly have a complaint.
They’ve gotten stains out of my clothing that I was absolutely certain were there to stay. The prices are reasonable enough, but truth be told I haven’t done much comparison shopping, and they can get things done in a day if you want them to.
I don’t see myself going anywhere else in the near future.

I like this dry cleaner because they have: 1) reasonable rates, 2) will actually *ask* how much starch you want in your clothes, and 3) are friendly and fast. They also offer a «green bag» for a one-​time cost of $ 10 that will eliminate the unnecessary plastic bag that comes with your clean clothes, and converts into a large laundry bag in which you can store your yet-​to-​be drycleaned items.
Other high points are an on-​site seamstress who does good alteration and repair work with a quick turnaround time, and easy access from I-​5.
