Grant Cleaners

Good Service, only foul play is minimum $ 10 for laundry to wash. So if you have a load that’s fine, if it’s only some don’t bother. It doesn’t help if you’ve some to wash and iron as this is not taken into account.

i love this place so much i don’t even want to share it. i got an elastic replaced in my skirt. the lady did it PERFECTLY and charged me $ 5. you know they don’t charge $ 5 for anything in SF. i also got these kickin lush black velvet pants hemmed. she made them the PERFECT length and did the seam so it was invisible. she charged me $ 10 for that.
i got a dress dry cleaned and they were meticulous in looking for stains. i got it back with out a blemish and in a timely manner. the service is just impeccable. i sure wish they fixed shoes too.

I have been taking my dry cleaning to Grant Cleaners for years. They do a great job on the cleaning, and the dry cleaning is priced very reasonably.
They even got the playa dust out of my coats, after Burning Man! Bonus!
If you can’t make it down to their store, they will deliver! Not a bad deal, considering I live up a hill!
I’m only giving them 4 stars because the alterations pricing is so inconsistent. However, they do a great job overall…

This place is a third the price of Water Lily Cleaners and I’ve never had a single problem with their services. Highly recommended.

I’ve used Grant Cleaners more then a dozen times now. I have never had a issue w/​there service. I find it to be fairly cheep as Cleaners go, and I always grab a bunch of candy from the bowl on the counter.
More often then not, when you drop stuff off for dry cleaning, they will always say, turn around time ⁴⁄₅ days, Just tell them you need it before that, It’s always worked for me

I use to love this place! They were nice and pretty nice about everything. Until they messed up my pants with another customers and never gave me a refund. The owner never really said sorry. She did however give me a credit to future dry cleaning. I would’ve preferred my cash back so I could have buy a new pair of pants. But I guess you win some you lose some.
Needless to say. I haven’t really been back after I used the rest of my credit.

I went crazy this weekend and could not possibly haul all the clothes for more than few blocks. I ended up stopping by the Grant Cleaner in the North Beach area. Elaine was extremely courteous and even agreed to do a rush job for me. The quality was solid as well.

this little piggy is *not* domestically inclined. .. . when i got to university, my then-​boyfriend had to teach me how to do laundry. .. . and how to fold it. .. . and yea. it never really «took,» if you know what i mean. .. i always seem to break a nail when i’m folding laundry, i hate waiting forever for each phase to finish. .. argh! what a waste of time (*(oo)*) piggies do not approve!
so imagine my excitement when i discovered that, for less than $ 10/​week, i could pay Grant Cleaners to do my laundry for me! wahooooo! no more laundry day for piggy! freedom! you know, and other such happy thoughts «\(^(oo)^)/»
really, the logic is quite simple:
(1): it takes at least an hour to do a load of laundry
(2): unless you have an in-​unit washer/​dryer, you also have to pay for the laundromat — not sure how much this is, but let’s assume $ 1 to wash and $ 1 to dry
(3): it costs $ 10 to do a load of laundry at Grant cleaners ($ 1/​lb with a 10lb minimum).
(4): taking into account the cost savings from the laundromat, the net cost of dropping off your laundry at Grant is **$ 8** using very conservative estimates.
(5): To date, Grant has neither lost nor ruined any of the items I’ve given them in the 4 years I’ve been using them … knock on wood! (^(oo)^)/‘|
So, is your precious weekend or evening time worth less than $ 8/​hour? If not, then you shouldn’t be doing your own laundry when you can drop it off at Grant! Makes sense right?
Little piggies love the power of logic (^(oo)^)v almost as much as they love NOT doing laundry ever again!

So I’ve been going to this place for a while now and I finally changed to a great spot up the street after coming here countless mornings at 8am (the time they are supposed to open) and waiting 15 – 20 minutes until the girl who works there pulls up in her Hello Kitty-​clad Lexus. I couldn’t make this up, its truly a heinous looking interior… and don’t ask me what a dry-​cleaning person is doing with a Lexus, its beyond me. Furthermore, I would say more than half the time I go in (at 8am, mind you) she is talking on the phone while she is «helping» me. Who are you talking to at 8am, your Hello Kitty fan-​club friends? I digress.
Anyways, personal issues aside, they always make you wait at least 3 days to get some shirts laundered and most of the time its 4 – 5 days. Prices aren’t great and the punctuality issue put me over the top.

I should have listened to the negative comments on this place but I am normally positive person and wanted to believe all the good comments. BAD DECISION! I dropped my jacket off on Tuesday (early afternoon) and asked to be able to get the jacket back on Thursday morning as I would be traveling. She wasn’t happy about it but said it could be done. I told her I would be back at 8:00am on Thursday morning. When I showed up at 8:00am no one was there. I waited 15 mins and finally she shows up. Then she can’t find my jacket. I finally spot it way over on a rack on the side. She brings it over and I take a look and I KNOW it hasn’t been cleaned. I smell it and it smells exactly the same as when I brought it in. I try to explain this calmly even though I am fuming inside (mentally remembering all the bad comments on Unilocal), but she swears it’s been cleaned. When I continue to try ask about it she raises her voice, gets snotty, throws my money back at me and tells me to leave.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

I’ve brought my expensive raw denim to be repaired and never left upset. I’ve brought friends here that have gotten great results from hemming and such. If it wasnt for the great trek across the city for me, I would get all my clothes tailored here. They do such a great job and take detailed notes on what you need done to each item in a timely matter. Usually it takes them a week, unless you pay a little extra for a rush job. But trust me, a rush job on anything important isn’t exactly the best thing to do.

update: They found my sweater. 2 and a half weeks later. I’m glad they found it, but the way they handled it was not ok. She totally blamed me for losing my tag, which I admit, did not help the situation. But, I have taken my clothes to several other dry cleaners and have not had my tag and it has not been a problem.

They lost my sweater… my favorite sweater. I have no idea how they lost it, but I just spent the last 20 minutes going through their whole rack of clothes that are ready to be picked up and it’s not there. Yes, I did misplace the tag they gave me when I dropped it off, but still, I know I took it there, and I told them the date I brought it to them and my name, and we went through the whole place and it’s not there. They will «keep looking» and call me back. I will never take anything here again.

I was out shopping one day and decided to get some Jamba Juice. A bright pink Jamba something that the little shit behind the counter didn’t put the lid on, so when I picked it up and squeezed just a little bit pink goo oozed out all over my brand new trench coat. I love that coat. Anyway, I got a cab and went home and started freaking out thinking that my favorite coat was ruined. I remembered there was a drycleaners near by and stopped in as soon as I could. She asked what it was and said they would probably be able to get it all out.
A few days later I went to pick it up. Not only was the huge pink stain totally gone, but it looked better than new. They cleaned and pressed it to perfection and on top of that it cost ONLY $ 6.50. I couldn’t believe it. Back home having a coat cleaned was at least $ 20 and I move here and the dry cleaning is cheaper! Not only that, but one of the ladies that works the front is very nice.
And because I had such a nice experience with my coat, I decided to take in some pants and a shirt. Again, so cheap and so good. They are the best.

After purchasing some pants online they arrived and were about 3 inches too long. I had seen Grant Cleaners before and saw in the window that they not only launder clothes, but do alterations as well.
I went in and was ushered into a small little space behind a curtain and came out moments later to be measured. I found it funny that I had to step over heaps of clothes to get back there. I then stood in front of the counter by the entrance and she measured me. I was surprised that they wanted a full five days for a hem, but the price was right. I paid $ 10 cash and picked them up later that week. The thread matched well, which was good, and the length was right. I am sure I will keep using them, the staff was very friendly.

The woman who works at mixedUSE Vintage on Filbert & Stockton swears by this place, so I took her word for it and risked a 1960s cocktail dress with intricate beading & embroidery. Sure enough, Grant Cleaners came through and presented me with dress intact and nicely pressed. Well done!

I am shocked at the 5 star reviews of this place. Grant Cleaners drives me to drink. If anyone can recommend another dry cleaner in North Beach, please let me know.
1) If your sign says you open at 7:30, I find it completely unacceptable to roll in at 8:05.
2) Compared to other places in SF, I do NOT find this place reasonably priced.
3) If you are going to charge almost 45 bones for a couple of garments, I think a credit card machine might be in order.
4) I think if you drop your clothes off on Monday, you should not have to wait till Friday to pick them up.
5) The last time I picked up my clothes, the garments were scattered all over the store. The Grant Cleaners Lady asked me what I had brought in for cleaning.
GCL: One of your shirts isn’t finished yet.
Me: What?
GCL: Your shirt, the green one; it’s not finished yet.
Me: But the green shirt is right here.
GCL: Oh yeah, well you have a shirt missing.
Me: (mumbling to myself) Well, which one?
GCL: Well, check your tag. You can pick up your shirt later.
GRRRRRRRR…

These Shirts… are CLEAN!
In a desperate need to have an item dry cleaned I spotted this place at the wee hour of 6:30pm, they close at 7pm most nights. What appears to be a family run establishment, they do a great job on my garments at a fair price.
Men’s Dress Shirts — $ 1.50
Women’s Dress Shirts — $ 2.65
The woman at the counter had a welcoming smile and provided friendly service. I have been here a bunch of times and have never had a problem. They have done my suits, dress shirts and other garments for my girlfriend.
Atmosphere — The interiors shows it’s been around for years
Service — Friendly
Price — Great! I have seen prices in the $ 4 @ other establishments
Highlight — Open till 7 most nights, so not rushing home from work
Recommend — A Squeaky Clean Yes
Friendly Service + Price + Consistency = 4 Stars

It is always difficult to find a good dry cleaner at a reasonable price when you move to a new area. Grant Cleaners has always exceeded my expectations. Not only is their dry cleaning and laundry service top notch, but their alterations are excellent as well. Boy, can they sew a hemline! They can do the complex stuff with just as much ease– I had a cocktail dress altered at the waist and they did a fabulous job with the inner lining and boning. I’ve had dress pants taken out, taken in, etc. and this place never fails. I think if I were to ever move out of this area, I’d stil bring everything here because they are really good, and very reasonably priced!
