Lee’s Dry Cleaners

I’m giving it the ‘Meh. I’ve experienced better’ rating as I’ve had the same service at less than half the cost — and that’s in the city!

I dropped off a white button-​up shirt to be laundered – not dry cleaned. The shirt had a bad red lipstick stain on it. The regular laundry didn’t get the stain off (I should have realized it wouldn’t). The lady at Lee’s gladly took the shirt back for removal of the stain – presumably by dry cleaning – at no extra charge. Considering that the stain remaining on the shirt was clearly my fault, this was extremely nice.

This is my default place for dry cleaning because of proximity. They’ve always done a solid job. As previously mentioned, the mother-​daughter combo is very entertaining with their casual, slightly dysfunctional, and hilarious ways.

At first glance, this is your average, small dry cleaning shop. When you first walk in, you will be welcomed by one member of a mother-​daughter team who appear to run the place. Your clothes will be cleaned on time and for a reasonable price.
Become a regular and you will find that the level of customer service goes to a newer, darker level (like when you fight Bowser at the end of Super Mario World and the happy world fades to reveal an insane, giant dragon/​turtle who is trying to kill you). The initial, common customer care gives way to a snide, hilarious backbone where you are treated more like a trusted friend than a customer. I cannot emphasize how fun the staff is here once you get to know them. If you’ve achieved this level, they’ll stay open after hours for you if you beg them to because traffic was really bad and it was snowing.
I’ve have used this place many, many times and never have had a stain remain or had a garment lost to the nether of the drycleaning world.

This was one of those places that it was too close not to try, but I felt lucky to find a solid cleaner right on my block. I have nothing bad to say about them, so I’ll cut straight to the good parts:
— Clothes always ready on time;
— Accomodating to quick turn arounds
— 15% off if you drop your clothes off on Wednesday
— Open til 5pm on Saturday
— They did a good job on the hem of my jeans
I never brought in any really nasty stains but I think they would do as good a job as the next guy…
