Borel Square Cleaners

I was a loyal customer here for a couple of years. I was happy with their everyday dry cleaning and thought they were friendly. They are not good with any embellishments/​special items of any kind. They wrecked a nice dress of mine and only offered to refund the cleaning cost, nothing to fix or replace the dress. I gave them a second chance and ultimately left this business after they destroyed a vintage fur shawl that belonged to my grandmother (I would never buy fur BTW…). They said they could clean it and I should have asked more questions before leaving a sentimental item. They didn’t have the experience or the proper means to clean it. Then they tried to cover up their mistake and tell me it wasn’t ready, when they really tore it to shreds and didn’t want to tell me. Again, no offer of compensation. Be careful with anything other than everyday clothes…

Mediocre at best. They can handle the basic man’s shirt but women’s blouses and tops are another story. They are not careful with lace trim or ruffles, and drape necks they crease and press flat. They are expensive too for mediocre work. I’ve taken my business to Blue Sky cleaners.

Only been here once. I was very satisfied with the work, but I don’t think its fair to give higher than average since I’ve only been here once.
I have a pea coat that was in dire need to dry cleaning and major lint removal. I came in the morning, the guy was nice and told me to come back at the end of the day. I get off work, drive over and it was waiting for me at the front. The lady was nice also. The dood from the morning came out and told me he took awhile to take off all the lint, and I was really happy with the work.
Not bad for 15 bucks.

3.5 STARS!
I used to go to a different cleaner… until I noticed a tiny stain, that looked just as fresh after being cleaned. Did they actually clean my clothes or did they just press it? F— that!
I decided to take the same pants to be cleaned at Borel’s, with the same little stain. I didn’t mention the stain, I just wanted to see how good they clean without direction. I also brought in a blanket.
THE VERDICT
PRICE — First off, the prices are a bit high. If I thought the one near me in a fancier area was a bit much, the prices here were even higher. $ 25 for a light chenille bed sheet? Are you serious? Whatever. $ 6.25 for the pants? Okay, fine… but the price sheet on the wall says $ 5.75. I’m not gonna cry over fifty cents, but charge me what it says on your wall, and not how much you think you want to charge me because I’m a new customer. Yeah, right now… you are at zero stars, Borel Square Cleaners!!!
The Blanket —
Sure, it’s queen size… but it’s light! It is nearly as light as a regular cotton bed sheet. It’s chenille, and I didn’t want to ruin it by sticking it in a regular washing machine/​dryer. Um, but $ 25 for this tiny blanket? WTF? Whatever, at least it’s clean.
Pants —
White pants. How did the other place miss a stain on white pants? I don’t know, but Borel’s found it. Yeah, I think I was overcharged, and was tempted to give this place zero stars, but **BAM!** these pants are CLEEEEEEEEEAN! These pants look cleaner and newer than I’ve ever seen them! They are whiter than when they left the store! They are pressed so crisp, they are almost paper thin! OMG!
Despite, all my grievances, I have to give them a bunch of stars for the quality of their work!!! I would go again!

If you live in the area of Borel Cleaners (when I say area I mean like a 10 mile radius), you should give them your business. They are hands down the best cleaners in the area.
My shirts are always properly pressed, no wrinkles, or weird stains.
Go here, or be prepared to buy new clothes. I would especially bring the Mrs’ fancy duds that she wears when stepping out. That stuff is expensive, and Borel will take good care of them.
BTW: I cheated on Borel a few times, a got a ruined shirt, and some others were un-​wearable because they were not properly pressed. I will never cheat again.

After one too many improperly pressed shirts from Louis, I switched to this place on the other side of El Camino. So far no incidents. Prices are good to fair. They seem to do a pretty good job.
