229 Park Avenue Cleaners

User Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

AVOID IF AT ALL POSSIBLE: I have used the South Laburnum branch of Park Avenue Cleaners three times in the past year. The first time the results were mediocre but acceptable. The second time they did not remove stains they had promised to remove. When the shirts were returned they allegedly tried again, without any luck. (These same stains were subsequently removed via ordinary laundering.)

Most recently I took 36 garments (8 pairs of slacks and 28 shirts) to them for cleaning and pressing. Only five of the garments actually needed cleaning: two pair of slacks and three shirts. All of the other garments were either brand new or had been previously laundered, and had wrinkles from either hanging on the clothier's racks or hanging in my closet. Consequently, when I delivered them, I told the both clerk and manager that my main interest was in having the garments well-pressed.

Overall, the only garments which even looked like they had been pressed were the slacks. Most of the shirts still had what appeared to be the same the wrinkles they had had when I delivered them. Most of the shirts did not have a tag on indicating they had been cleaned. And NONE of them had an acceptable crease in the sleeves.

In short, I could have saved nearly $73 and gotten a MUCH better result by simply laundering and ironing the garments myself.
