Great people to work with. On site seamstress. Work with you on proper care of clothes. My suits came out tailored perfectly. I’d refer anyone here for dry cleaning and or tailoring.

First off the place is a DUMP. Front door doesn’t open right. Dead plants everywhere. Should have walked out then. Needed clothes same day, was told they couldn’t do it due to work being done??? Left clothes for cleaning. Picked up next day. We had a funeral to attend. My husband puts on shirt it has stains that were not there when I brought it to cleaners. Gets another shirt this also has stains that were not on shirt when dropped off. When I brought the shirts back to show them, they basically said it was my fault not them. They offered to clean them again at no charge. Shirts came back with even more stains… Was basically told not their problem. Out 2 shirts… Never…going back!!! Hole in the ground

Great place! I have been going to Trim and Tidy for the last 10 years. Clothes always ready on time, great customer service, and they do an excellent job removing stains. Prices are VERY fair. Don’t let the old building or non-functioning door scare you. They are just minor hiccups to an overall well-run, family owned establishment.

I have picked up several orders from the business. Everything has always been ready on the day and time; exactly as promised! It’s an odd set-up with some ‘ancient’ items in the lobby. The huge sign out front is a throwback and really quaint/charming. I wish the front door worked properly, however, I go there for the quality of the cleaning and I suppose I can tolerate a malfunctioning door for exceptional work. Shirts were spotless and perfectly starched, suit was clean, creases were well-done, etc etc. Thanks much!

How can anyone not love the vintage sign and building? Over the years, I’ve taken many items to be altered or cleaned here, the service and prices are great. I needed my sons work uniform altered for his new job that he was supposed to start in a couple of days. Today he got a call that they need him tomorrow. TOMORROW! I called Trim &Tidy to see if by chance they had gotten to his uniforms yet(they had not) and explained the situation. The woman stayed 2 hours late to alter 5 pair of pants and a jacket for my son. I brought her flowers along with my credit card for an 8pm pick up :)

This dry cleaners is the worst that I have been to by far. Let’s start off with the general appearance of the place, it looks like a rummage sale various furniture dead plants and thick layers of dust. I brought my suits to be cleaned and pressed. When I arrived on the scheduled day they were not ready I was told that they were in the machine and would be ready in half an hour I waited outside and watched the person behind the counter frantically looking for something it was my stuff as he pulled my suit from the bottom of a dirty clothes pile I go back in and they have it ready obviously not clean but they still charge me. Very shady and dishonest place. Stay away!!!

You’ve heard people use the phrase, «It’s like stepping back in time!» when they describe certain businesses. Most often these places are simply«retro», or at best retain an element or two of historical significance. I hear people say that about Potbelly’s and places like that. Most of these places are manufactured retro and marketed as such. And then you have places that truly are blasts from the past. Then you have Trim N Tidy Cleaners. I’ll get my actual review over with early since that’s what Unilocal is all about. This place is a great place to have your suit cleaned and pressed, as well as all of your other pertinent items of clothing. Service is very fast and dependable and very affordable. The woman who works there is super kind and accommodating. I highly recommend this business. Now for my description of the place itself — holy cow. What first catches your eye is the huge neon sign out front. Totally untouched 1950’s vintage. On the inside, the first thing you’ll notice is the smell of «old» — sort of a pungent moldy-dusty-clothesy-kind of smell. EVERYTHING is original to when the building was built over 60 years ago. It seems as though nothing has been moved or replaced. The floor details, the wall designs, the old, dusty, stainless steel cash registers — I have died and gone to heaven. Adding to the overwhelming sense of indifference are the scores of huge potted plants — some clearly have been dead for a long time. Need to take a load off? Take a seat on one of several decades-old couches that haven’t been cleaned in about as long as they’ve been there — a notable clash between the impeccable clothing behind the counter. The couches are water stained since they rest right up against the window and absorb all that lovely winter condensation. You’ll also find random huge broken bags of topsoil, old broken light fixtures, and other things that are guaranteed to give you tetanus. It is an extremely disorganized, surreal place — but strangely comfortable. The great service and friendly people will keep me coming back. All the other stuff is just icing on the cake.

Amazing! I ran in here at 2pm this afternoon with my Bears tshirt that needed to be stitched for tomorrow’s game and the owner right away said she’ll have it ready for me by 5pm because she knows tomorrow’s an important day. She kept her word. Not only did she stitch the hole that was in one of the seams, but the shirt was nicely pressed and put in garment plastic and on a hangar. All for $ 4! I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 12 years and always passed by but never needed their services until now. So glad to have them literally 3 blocks away. I’ll definitely be taking my cloths there for dry cleaning or any other issues like stitching, alterations. 5 stars hands down!

I really needed two suits cleaned and I had an early flight the next morning. I made it in by 11:00am and they had them cleaned and pressed by 5:00! Always great service.

DONOTGOTOTHISCLEANERS! They ripped me off majory! They didn’t clean my carpet(tag even said so – that it was still dirty!), but charged me a very HIGH rate(a lot more then usual, and MORE then the carpet is even worth!) and sent me on my way. When I got home and looked at the carpet, I called to tell them and said it wasn’t cleaned and they said they WOULD not give me my money back! I suggest NO one go to this place. There are plenty of cleaners out there that are trustworthy, this is not one of them. Will never ever go back! Save yourself the headache and go some where esle!

Family run business and they work their tails off — since I see them there when I leave for work at 7:30 and still there when I drive by after 6PM. High quality work, Sunny and her husband John and friendly and remember you(if forgetting your name for a second). Nothing but high quality work and I’ve been going there 3 years.

This place is great. I don’t usually take my dry cleaning here but I did this past Friday. I needed to attend a wake the same day and my dark suit needed cleaning. Anyway, I brought it here in the morning and picked it up at 5…$ 9. They really came through for me.

I remember as a kid my parents brought stuff to this cleaners. Granted it has changed ownership since then. But the building and location are memorable. Needless to say, they do an amazing job, have NEVER messed up any cleaning, which is more then I can say for some of the big name places in the city that all the lemming think are so great. Highly recommended. And I never thought the prices were that bad, comparable to other cleaners in the area that I had used previously. Also staff are extremely nice and friendly.

so i’ve been going here for the last 5 years and I gotta agree with the review about prices. They are so much more than most dry cleaners, i have never seen a price sheet but it seems like about $ 2 per normal item. While i hate the price, i;ve been going there for 5 years becuase they have NEVER made a mistake or ruined anything. You really get what you pay for here. I keep on thinking i might go somewhere cheaper, but i’m afraid of my stuff getting ruined. Very accomadating store, same day, special requests, late pickup etc etc. as long as i can afford it, i’ll still go.
