Forty-Niner Cleaners

I dropped off two of my favorite jeans that I bought from Lucky Brand (~$ 80/​pair) about 2 years ago when the zippers on both of the pairs broke. I was completely heart broken because I didn’t know if they could be fixed, and didn’t know if it would be worth it to pay for someone to fix them. Nonetheless, I went to this store in hopes that someone could help me.
I was more than blown away with the results. Not only was it completely affordable, but the jeans came back looking brand new — like nothing had happened! The seamstress here is so talented and is truly an artist. In the end, it cost $ 10/​zipper (so $ 20 total) and I can wear my favorite jeans again! It was soooooo worth it and so AFFORDABLE!
The customer service is also FANTASTIC — it really doesn’t get better than this. The lady/​main seamstress is so caring, sweet, and helpful that I felt like I was family! I will never go to another laundry/​alterations store again. I found the best place in the city!

I lived in a couple places in SF, and now recently moved to Vis Valley. Very friendly family owned business. Prices reasonable. However, I dropped trousers off and specifically pointed out stains and the nice lady marked the areas with tape. When I got the pants back, stains were still there. Also, I dropped off a sweater, and they hung it on the hanger instead of folding it over the hanger as I’ve usually seen done, so now I have some pointy hanger marks on the shoulders of the sweater. Sorry, I wish I could come back but don’t think I will.

Best dry cleaner & alterations ever!!! Prices are more than reasonable and the quality of alterations are excellent! What I really like is that she’s upfront and honest about the types of alterations she will and will not do, and makes recommendations if she sees room for improvement. She’s the «Miracle on Leland St.» Truly appreciate the honesty and that she’s not just out to make a buck. Gotta say tho’, all alterations I’ve had her do have come back perfect! Thank you!
PS I’ve also recommended friends to her that aren’t in the neighborhood and they love her work as well.

For this area, I can’t find a more affordable, friendly, and consistent service. Definitely worth checking out.
There was a shirt that wasn’t ironed perfectly, but that was one out of 6 that I’ve brought to them. I still plan on coming back.

Just spent $ 120 a week ago for wash and fold, dry clean and alterations. They are charging $ 2 for a shirt now, $ 12 for pants alterations and $ 8.5 for dry clean 2 piece suit, a big increase from previous posts.
Great Job on the pants alteration (5 stars). She even waited to ask me if it’s ok to do a certain way of alteration on a more complicated jeans without extra charge. So I am pretty happy.
However, the ironing of the shirts could use a lot of improvements. Most of my shirts came back still somewhat wrinkled (kind of defeats the whole purpose of getting them done there). I should try other places for comparison.

I love these guys. I asked what I want and they did it for a very reasonable price. I’ll be seeing u soon sue.
Nic

Be mindful about the kinds of alterations that you bring here. After reading all the positive reviews about the alterations services here, I dropped by with a jersey dress that needed to be taken in at the waist and bust. The woman at the counter said that she only works on «simple» dresses. When I inquired further, she said that she only does hems on dresses.

$ 7 to hem a pair or jeans and friendly couple who runs the place.

Brought my trenchcoat here to get cleaned, but there was still numerous stains on my coat. Probably not going back.

Great value on dry cleaning paired with excellent service. I moved to the area about a year ago and have been flirting with a bunch of cleaning places. I’ve found my go to place.

Sue and her husband are the best!!! Great, friendly service that is reliable! I can’t ask for anyhting better.

I used to go out to the Richmond District to get my clothes tailored or hemmed because I used to live in that area. Since I moved, I haven’t looked for a new place. I wanted a place closer to the house. I found this place on Unilocal and after reading a good review from a customer, I decided to try it out (eventhough there weren’t that many reviews). I drive by this place all the time, but never noticed it.
The lady that help me was very nice & friendly (I’m assuming she is the owner), which is a plus for me already. I had two pairs of jeans I needed hemming. She told me that she don’t really keep the original stitching at the bottom, which was fine with me because it doesn’t really matter to me. One of them was pretty expensive so I wanted to get them done nicely. I was surprised by her technique of measuring how much to hem from my jeans. I didn’t even need to try it on. She measured me, the jeans, the inseams, and the height of the heels and did the math. It was very convenient because I didn’t have to change. To be honest, I was a little optimistic about it, but the results were excellent. The length came out as i expected & it was cheap. I am definitely coming back here for hemming, tailoring, and dry cleaning. I like her work, honestly, and service.

really cheap, great service!
Pant hems cost 7 dollars… now try to find a cheaper place in San Francisco!

My family and I have been going here since I was practically born! Literally best place for clothes ever.

Been to a few dry cleaners around the area… This place is the BEST at cleaning your clothes. I recently had them hem 3 pairs of jeans. They were super nice, fast, and super professional. They even offered to give me a discount (but I refused and gave them their dues plus a tip). They are very honest too. If they can’t clean it, they will let you know cant — like my giants jacket. She just recommended me to toss it in the was by itself and I did. Turned out AWESOME. I love love love this place!

This is probably the only business in my neighborhood that I actually appreciate and go to! From as far back as I can remember, my family has always brought our dry cleaning to Sue. I’m sure she still remembers me as a toddler too! I think that’s why I really love this place, because of how friendly and nice Sue is. They’re affordable and fast for your dry cleaning needs. Oh and they do alterations too! I brought a pair of my 7 jeans here and I was satisfied. :)

I was referred to this cleaners by a friend! At first it was great, honest… However, they forgot to sew some clothes I brought in to have fix 2 times!!! And they ruined a $ 200.00 top that I brought in to have dry cleaned, not only did they rip my nice, expensive top but they also stained the top!!! Did not want to acknowledge the damage they did, she took no responsability at all and tried to find every excuse in the book to no pay me back!!! unless you want to constantly check your clothes every time you bring it there I would not go there!

Friendly and consistant service, affordable prices and only a few blocks away from home. I couldn’t ask for more!
I had this dress with alot of different types of beads and the manager warned me in advance of what could happen, she cared about how my clothes would come back to me, and that attention to customer service is what keeps me coming back. Thank you!
