Joseph’s Cleaners

I’ve taken a few items here to dry clean. They are cheap and fast but nothing special just a typical dry cleaner I only came here because of convenience. I believe they are closed and no longer in business.

So let me start by saying that I have been coming to this dry cleaners for about 15 years or more. I come by to pick up 4 dress shirts that have been there about a week. The guy there knows my name, nodded his head and walks back to the rack of clothes and looks through something for a min and then said you don’t have anything here. Strange considering I just dropped them off. He said, maybe your girlfriend picked them up. I have a nice girl friend so I can see the possibility of that. I said, okay, I will check with her tonight. Sure enough my girl friend had not picked them up. So I call in the
around 8. He said, he will look and hangs up. So i call back at 9 giving him what I thought was ample time to look. He got frustrated and said he hadn’t looked yet and would be able to by noon. I drive past about 5 dry cleaners from my house just to use this guy. I show up, walk in and he is waving and saying no before I even get to the door. He said «check again. Well I do have two closets but I am pretty sure based on the amount of clothes that I have, that they are NOT THERE! He said its impossible. WTF? Are you serious? The lady usually just says my last name and 4 shirts 2 pants (or whatever the combination) and I dont get a ticket to retrieve. In the past its never been a problem but now I am out of 4 new dress shirts. YOU SHOULD NEVER GO HERE. I cant tell you how many times, I have walked in and he is arguing with someone. I never gave it much attention because he was good to me. Now he loses my clothes and he blames me? Are you freaking serious? Lost by business for life!

Never had a problem with the service here. Shirts are normally completed on time with no issues. One time a button had come off and they sewed the back up on with no charge.
The only problem I have is that they write your name inside your shirt. They should ask before they damage your clothes.

Joseph’s is a pretty standard dry cleaners. It’s cheap and has very quick service.
I didn’t encounter the permanent marker on my clothing like the other reviewers, so I’ll go here again.

I have been using this cleaners for at least 5 years
They always do a great job!
They always get stains out & have never lost any items
Highly recommended

I’m done. While this place hasn’t hosed me, they certainly aren’t doing a very good job.
1) They wrote on my clothes in marker. Marker!
2) They actually added stains to my clothes. Seriously (but not in obvious places).
3) They actually have lost buttons.
4) The prices aren’t worth 1 – 3 (e.g. no deals here).

WARNING!!! This cleaner will write directly on your shirts with permanent marker. I had brought my dress shirts here a few times and thought that they did a good job until I looked at a new dress shirt that I had brought to them to be laundered and pressed and noticed that on the backside in the bottom corner they had written my name in INK! When I asked why they had written on my shirt she replied, «it’s standard practice.» WTF! I’ve never had a cleaner write directly on my shirts! When I asked what they do with suits the lady replied, «we write on the tags as well.» I don’t know about you, but I don’t want my cleaners writing directly on my clothes period! They’re suppossed to clean your clothes not write on them. There’s plenty of other cleaners in Cerritos that won’t write on your clothes.
I had asked the lady what they were going to do about the shirts that were already inked and she just replied,” we can’t do anything about it now. Now we know you don’t like it and we’ll just put a tag on it next time.” Uh there’s not gonna be a next time cuz I’m not bringing my shirts back here. I told the lady if she was going to write anything on my shirt she should have at least told me before hand and not after the fact. She replied, «well that just takes too much time.» WTF!!! It takes too much time to ask, «is it okay if we write your name in ink on the backside of the bottom corner of the shirt?» She was just being lazy if you ask me…

I live near Glendale, but just got a job in the Cerritos and needed to find a reliable dry cleaner in the area. Found this place, thought I’d give it a try and brought in 5 shirts and 3 pairs of pants to be cleaned.
Maybe I’m spoiled by having an awesome dry cleaner by where I live, but my experience here was kinda «meh.» No fancy computerized system for them to find me using my phone number — just a slip of paper with my name written on it and a date to pick it up on. And not even like an official slip of paper that looked like a receipt — i got the corner of something that looked like the corner of a parking permit.
No fancy removable tags to go on the inside seam of your shirt — nope, they write your name straight on your shirt. In black sharpie. Which bleeds to the front and makes sure you can’t wear your shirts untucked. Considering I wear primarily Thomas Pink and Ike Behar shirts at work, this was a costly mistake on my part — about $ 600 in shirts inked.
They also don’t have what I consider to be a reasonable time frame. Brought my clothes in on a Monday morning, was told they’d be ready by Thursday afternoon. I guess I’m just used to one-​day service, so I can’t fault them on this.
The pants were okay, the shirts could have been better. I’m used to a nice crisp look to my shirts, a couple had weird wrinkling near the shoulders.
Only good thing was the price — less than $ 20.00 for everything, but considering what happened to my shirts it’s a loss on my part.
Trying a different dry cleaner in Cerritos — hope my experience isn’t the same. Especially since I gave that one a bespoke dress shirt to clean. I may cry if I find sharpie decorating the front of that shirt when I pick it up tomorrow.

My usual dry cleaner had messed up and stained a shirt so I decided to give a different cleaner a try… which is how I ended up here.
No smiles or friendly conversation here — I don’t think the woman even said a word to me. She was all business; just show me your slip, here’s your clothes, now pay me. In and out in a flash. The prices were just slightly higher than my usual dry cleaner but they did a fine job on my clothes.
Note: Although they accept credit cards they aren’t happy about it. They always ask for cash.
