Pico Cleaners

Do not let the convenience fool you… nor the «new name.» Same owners. Not impressed. I thought I would give it another try after being very disappointed in years past. Well, I am still not too pleased. They are much more expensive than my favorite, less convenient favorite, Bonded Cleaners. (Pico Cleaners charged $ 5 to dry clean white jeans…) But what did it for me this time is the fact that she said my credit card was declined when her reader wasn’t functioning properly (I had just used my card at Albertson’s successfully). I stood outside, called the credit card company (which you know is a long process of being on hold…) only to be told my card was fine. The customer service rep suggested that the store owner manually input the card. Voila! It worked… the time that all took I could have been down and back to Bonded Cleaners… ah…live and learn…

Clean, efficient service and shirts and dry-​cleaning turns out nice. I disagree about the 3 – 4 day turn-​around mentioned in the last review. The only way that could be true is if you turn them in on a Friday afternoon and have to wait until Monday. Otherwise, two days is typical. I have no complaints, but same-​day or next day service would be nice, for an up-​charge, of course.

One of the clients at my work needed some of his shirts dry cleaned. This was the closest dry cleaners to the house, so we dropped them off here.
This is a new dry cleaners, so they have advertisements everywhere in the plaza. Pretty gutsy to open a new business right now, but they are close to the house and they seemed clean. Walked in around 2pm, they weren’t busy and I was helped right away. Service was quick and efficient and they have decent prices – $ 1.25 per shirt, about $ 3 for pants.
Only downside is they don’t have same day or even next day service. They’ll make you wait about 3 – 4 days to get your clothes back, even if you have under 5 items (my client only had 3 shirts to be dry cleaned).
Overall good service, good work, clean store… but just expect a wait.
