Danny’s Cleaners

I go here for all my cleaning needs. It’s a bit pricey but it’s at par with others in the area. The good thing about going to this cleaners is that they have a loyalty card so you can save some money after a few rounds of visits. I love that benefit. I usually save $ 5 after a few trips. No one else in the neighborhood offers similar loyalty benefit (at least that’s what I think).
There is a little bit of a language barrier with the staff but it is not too bad.
Parking is on the street.

Martha is always very friendly and service is prompt and professional.
One time in washing my tux, she spotted a small blemish and called to ask if I wanted it repaired before my wedding. She obviously cares tremendously about her community and has pictures of her customers up on a board behind the counter.
Danny’s Cleaner is very convenient for the residents of Noe Valley, just around the corner from Philz.
I highly recommend Martha’s service and professionality.

They do a fine job cleaning, especially since they got a new pressing service that doesn’t leave a big dent steamed in below the belt line. The problem is that their opening hours are fantasy. 3 times I have shown up on my way to work at 7:30 and three times I have left at 7:40 without them opening. It’s frustrating.

Avoid this place, as there are much better dry cleaners in the neighborhood. Many times I suspect they haven’t even cleaned me clothes but only steamed them. Also, it routinely takes them 2 weeks or more to get my clothes back.

This place is not cheap to begin with, but when they overcharged me by nearly $ 10, I decided «never again.» The woman pointed at her computer and shrugged her shoulders as if there was a ghost in the machine, but the plain truth is that she overcharged me. It’s funny how her English got a whole lot worse when we got in an argument about it. I left with a refund but no apology, so **** them. There are plenty other dry cleaners in the neighborhood.

This is solely based on the seamstress.
Last week I had to go to a «Madmen» themed Christmas party. Bought a dress the day of the event from Salvation Army. I don’t really know what I was thinking when I bought a size 6 dress but as far as I could see there were no dressing rooms to try it on. So I looked at it on the hanger and think… ‘I’ll just get some shotty last minute alterations on it. I’ll never wear it again.‘
Go to Dannys and ask the lady if she can alter it. She says sure, try it on. When I come out, I am swimming in it! They ladies start laughing — I start laughing too. (I am a size 0 – 2) She starts pinning it very quickly.
Then I drop the bomb…“I need in in done in 4 hours!“
dun dun dun… She looks at me like I am damn crazy! She even stutters…“4 hours!!!“
I say. look, if you do a crappy job. I will never wear this dress again. Just make it look somewhat decent, I wont complain. It’s only for a party.
She says ok, $ 30. (double the cost of the dress) My stomach turned a little. Did I seriously just pay that much for this stupid dress, for a christmas party??!
4 hours later, I go pick it up, take it home and put it on.
*MAGIC* I tell you. This woman tailored this to my body perfectly.
How could this be? She pinned it in less then 2 minutes while stressing out because she thought I was nuts.
It was like I bought this dress just for my body. Seams were perfect, liner was perfect. fit like a glove. I looked and felt great at the party!
This Ann Taylor dress is now one of my favorites. I don’t think I will ever throw it out. I should go back and give that lady a kiss.
Maybe it was luck– or that she truly is just an amazing seamstress.
Thanks Danny’s Cleaners!

It’s hard to know where to go to get your boyfriend’s shirts steamed and pressed, you know what I’m saying? Never really had to do that before. But then again, neither was I ever very proficient at ironing myself. So. I chose pretty much at random, and the only variable I considered was the proximity to home.
Danny’s is not cheap, and not very good. The women are sweet as can be, and I enjoyed my conversation with them both at drop-​off and pick-​up. But when I inspected the work, I couldn’t help but make faces. Old wrinkles gone, new wrinkles created! They singed some of the collars, and dulled some of the patterning on a couple of shirts. Must’ve been hot in that ironing room!
Not the best service. But maybe my expectations are too high?

«The Customer Is Never Right»
Never Unilocaled before, but opened a Unilocal account especially for this. These guys ruined a favorite shirt. Rust colored stains all over the front of the shirt. Stains also inside. When I drop off clothes at cleaners, I go over each article with them for this reason. They think I am lying and spilled food on myself while I was eating, then opened my shirt and spilled food on he inside. It is a button down shirt and also has the stain on the panel where buttons are. I must have rubbed some food there when I was opening it up to put food on inside?
They think I am a liar but I know their machines accidentally ruined my shirt.
These things happen but there unwillingness to acknowledge their potential liability stinks.
Will never go there again. Know that if something happens to your clothes, it’s your fault…

After making the mistake of taking our clothes to the local Laundromat, (we had to spend an extra 30 minutes at home washing out chunks of grime and powdered soap from our entire wash), we decided we might give the local ‘wash & fold’ a try.
We were new to this whole «drop off your clothes and pick them up later» business as we had always had a washer and dryer at our disposal (and weren’t used to the fact that a washer and dryer in one’s apartment was a rarity and luxury here in the city). It seemed a little odd at first, but I got over this uncomfortable feeling real quick after picking up our perfectly washed and folded load.
Pure perfection. Who knew that that many clothes could be so properly folded into such perfect shapes and sizes? Not I!
At first the price seemed a bit high, but for ease, convenience, and overall quality of the returned clothes, it is WELL worth it. And in tight situations when we have needed our clothes quickly washed and returned, Danny’s Cleaners has been willing to expediate the process at no extra cost.
Five stars without a doubt.

Nice ladies run this place — they also do mending and alterations.
Hard to wax eloquent on a dry-​cleaning place, so there it is. ..

Nice. Quick. Close to my house. Frequent cleaner discount card. Sweet
