Do not use--dishonest alterations lady. Had 4 pants shortened. 2 were fine, the other 2 were not the correct length (too long), even though she pinned them. Brought them back to fix, and she refused and tried to charge me more for her mistake. I think she measured the 4 to the same length, even though 2 of them were a different brand and cut. Blamed me for the error. They tried to charge me again by saying, "This is the store policy"! I will never use them again, and you should not either unless you like paying for alterations repeatedly! The quality of work is nothing like it used to be! No pride in doing something right! read more

OMG~!!! Great Price~!!!! I am happy with quality of the job. Crisp shirts and my stain was gone. I recently moved from California and price difference are $$$ I love this place. My husband's shirts were painful to press it. My problem is gone lol read more

They do a good job for both laundry and dry cleaning, at the right price. They do alterations too. The staff are friendly.

I went to get a formal top altered. I said that I can't fit into it, but just need to let out 2 inches on both sides (there was extra material that would allow this). Lady: "Please try it on". Me: "I can't. Can you please just let out 2 inches on both sides?". Lady: "OK ... please try it on" Me: "I don't know what to tell you other than ... I can't" Lady: "OK -- lets see if you can try this on." Me: "I ... can't ... " Finally, she gave up and barely measured how much she can take out. I wasn't expecting anything to be exact which is why I was asking to just let out 2 inches on both sides. She went to the computer and started to take my info down and then tells me "$28". Now, I have had MANY things altered before and I know that the job was NOT $28 especially with little to no effort in working with me. I guess from my facial expression, she said "if you don't want to, i don't mind." I just left ... I took the top to get altered in the city near my job. Long story short, I told the lady it doesn't fit and I can't try it on for her. She asked what my bra size is, measured me, examined the top and fixed it on the spot. Oh - and it was cheaper! read more

The service was very worst in this place. Shirts and pants were never cleaned and they simply press them without cleaning, most of the time didn't realize until wear them. The response was very rude when I reached out them and it happened multiple times. Also I have given my suit pant for an alteration, the tailor (Veronica) who seem does not have any knowledge of tailoring and ruin my pant totally. She charged $57 for this alteration and she asked more money when I pointed out the mess she did it, and the store manager Tom (seems Korean) behaved very ruthless, rude and nasty. they don't value customer satisfaction ....very worst customer service read more

I have been using them for over a year now. Initially reasonable, the standards have dropped to something terrible. Shirts are returned with stains they never had, badly ironed and the service is not pleasant. When I was last there another gentleman complained his shirt had been dirtied. The dry cleaning is even worse! Jackets with new, greasy stains, silk shirt ruined... that was it and we have left them... Did the manageress care? No. That should say it all! read more

Terrible service recently (shirts are returned with black stains)and even more horrible customer service. Stay away from this place. We had been going to them for over last 2 years but in the last six months our shirts were being returned with black stains. I had read previous Yelp reviews about stains but never personally had a problem until last 6 months. The first few times, I noticed the stains on the shirts right away and they fixed it after I continued to stand my ground that those stains didn't exist before. But now just because I hastily removed their tags from my shirts after they were returned back with stains, the owners refuse to accept their mistake. They were unwilling to help me out in spite of the fact that we have been with them for 2 years. Their customer etiquettes were so disappointing. They don't seem to care about their customers or the quality of this service. NEVER going back again. read more

A Cleaner City - Black stains on shirt after being cleaned and pressed - Laundry Services Near Me - Livingston, New Jersey

See all

My review is for the alteration. I took my daughter's dress to be altered. The Korean lady who spoke limited English was quite good at measuring my daughter. We need the shoulder tightened up. I didn't know I need to pay first, but since its my first trip there, she was nice enough to say that I can pay when I pick up the dress. We went in on a Wednesday, and the receipt says it will be ready on Saturday. I went in on Saturday, and was told that the dress is not ready. She thought I didn't need the dress until the following Sunday, and so she didn't do the dress yet. THEN MAKE SURE THE RECEIPT DIDN'T SAY SATURDAY! I did not like the attitude at all. Will go back to Circle Cleaners for alteration next time. read more

Never had a single issue, best prices around. I go here for regular dry cleaning, wash/fold, and alterations. I have done a lot of the aforementioned services with no issues at all. I am especially pleased with alterations when compared to dealings in the past with other establishments. Highly recommended. read more

A Cleaner City Dry cleaner on Livingston Ave by CVS absolutely RUINED my pants and discolored them, and when I asked them for reparations or at least even the fee for the cleaning back, they yelled at me and literally told me to "shoo." The owner threw my pants at me and told me that I should call J Crew because the pants must be defective. They were so rude and I would recommend any other company over this one. This is absolutely horrible service and experience. Worst dry cleaner ever!!! read more

My godmother came to this dry cleaner to get a gown altered for a class reunion. She needed the top taken in because it was too large. She was fitted in the dress, and left it to be altered. She came back to try the dress on after the alterations were made, and realized after putting it on that it was too small. She couldn't even lift her arms up. She told the woman that worked there that it was not altered properly. The seamstress had cut so much material off that the dress could not even be taken somewhere else to be fixed. The seamstress proceeded to grab my godmother by the shoulders and SHAKE HER, while yelling "You take this dress off because it belongs to me! You can't leave without paying!" My godmother never said she wouldn't pay. She just wanted her to know the alterations were not done properly, and it didn't fit. My godmother called the police and waited until they came. The woman completely changed her tune, and was polite when the police showed up. She told the police my godmother tried to leave without paying for the services to which my godmother responded that she was the one that called the police because she was assaulted and did not try to leave. The police asked for the manager, and the seamstress said there was no manager, he was in Korea. The police officer instructed my godmother to take this case to court which she is doing. The blatant disrespect this woman showed for a customer blows my mind. Especially since she did not provide professional service. Please do not waste you time or money by coming here! read more

After being a customer for several years (since they opened up pretty much), today I told them they lost my business. I had several pairs of slacks for cleaning. Showed them stains I wanted removed. Got them back - pressed, but stains there. Pointed them out - they said no problem, will fix. Got them back - same spots, same condition. I told the lady (sounded like an owner) that if they didn't manage to clean after 2 attempts, I'd like to get my money back. What I heard back was horrible! Absolute lack of respect for the customer. read more

My clothing smelled like body odor, even after I aired the pieces out for 24 hours. I sent everything back to be cleaned again, hoping it was a one time mistake. I picked up my pieces a week later, and they stank like dog breath. They must not change the cleaning fluid. Must be how they keep their prices down. Never returning. read more

I've been using this dry cleaner for over a year. They have ruined shirts, changed creases. The last straw is they ruined my husbands Michael kors suit. They said it have with a stain on it. It is the size of an apple on the chest. They refused to do anything about it. When we asked. For suit jacket back, they said come back tomorrow we can't find it now. They are unorganized and rude. Avoid at all costs. read more

Do NOT go to A Cleaner City in Livingston. The owners are rude and unprofessional! I dropped off clothes on a Thursday and they said next day service. When I came to pick it up in Saturday and it wasn't ready they yelled at me and called me names. I even tried to just get my clothes back not cleaned and they said they wouldn't be able to find it. These people are wretched- save yourself the headache and AVOID a cleaner city - which should be called a meaner city! read more

I have been coming since they opened and still enjoy picking up my clean, pressed clothes for a cheap/reasonable price. Can't speak to the alteration department, because I use a tailor for that! However, the only issue I had about a year ago was with a duvet cover that was still damp when I picked it up. I kindly spoke to the woman and she responded in kind by re-cleaning it by the end of the same day, at no charge. In Livingston, people tend to speak to customer service representatives as if they are entitled royalty, believe me, I see it every day. And to the stains not coming out...let's face it there are certain fabrics that don't agree with certain compounds and result in an unremovable stain-These folks are in business because they are good at cleaning clothes, not because they can do Magick! Buy a new pair of pants- read more

Stay far away from this place!!! i wish i had read their reviews before i gave them shirts to alter. they were to bring the sleeves up by 2 inches and somehow they decided to do this from the shoulders and ended up placing the right sleeve on the left side and vice versa. regardless now all 7 shirts are ruined. even worse is that they are now forcing me to take this matter to small claims court which shows no accountability on their part. mistakes happen but declining phone calls and avoiding fixing this is clear negligence. read more

Been going here since they first opened a little over a year ago and have not had a problem. Their prices are the lowest in the area and their turn over rate is usually 1-2 days, depending on how fast i need them. There is no odor, and whenever I get a stain on my clothes I drop it off asap and thus far, haven't had a problem with them removing the stain. I get all my suits altered here and my wife has gotten a few dresses hemmed. They're efficient and cheap! What more can you ask for? Why would I go anywhere else and pay 3x the price for clothes to be cleaned and altered when they do it for an amazingly low price within a few days! read more

A true lesson in "you get what you pay for". This place is terrible. They completely ruined a dress of mine that was beige by dying it black. When I Complained the woman at the front desk claimed she could. Lean it again and it would come out, but that was impossible. I asked for a refund and she pretended to not know what that word meant. Finally she gave me back the $5, without even addressing the fact that my garment is now unwearable and has to be thrown in the trash. I will NEVER go there again and wouldn't recommend anyone else either if they care about their clothes. read more

Avoid them! Crappy job. Had them redo some items because they missed simple stains. The weird thing is that the Springfield-Short Hills is great. read more

I wouldn't suggest even trying their services, they do average job cleaning and if you ask for spot removal, be ready for a damaged garment. They put an even bigger spot by removing small one on my $150 pants, agreed to clean again and returned in same condition claiming they can't remember what was the original request. Very unprofessional and simply rude. Alteration is even worst, don't go for $8, i did 4 times pants cut and 4 times wrong length was measured. The lady that is doing is rude and rolling her eyes. I am done with this place. They lost my business. Looking forward closing down this place as they don't deserve our money. read more

I have been using this dry cleaner for a few months and have been quite happy with the service. All of our items have come back in perfect shape (and smell) so far. Prices are generally the lowest in the area. However, what really sets this place apart is the quality of the tailoring. They have been extremely helpful, knowledgable, and expedient with all of my alterations. read more

i was there today with a white jacket that did not even come close to being dry cleaned. when i told the service attendant that it was not properly cleaned he looked at it and called me a liar. i have never seen anything like this. this establishment has gone completely downhill. ive been using them for at least a year and the clothes are not done properly anymore. i heard they changed management. hard to believe that an establishment would treat a customer with such disrespect. i really didnt have time to go back there if there wasnt a problem. do yourself a favor and avoid this cleaners. i should have read all the reviews on different sites before i went back (mostly all negative)!!!!!!!! read more

Not worth the money. Clothes came back dirty with wrinkles had to iron myself. Quality is sub par.

NEVER AGAIN. Busy professionals with corporate attire need reliable and cost effective garment care. I tried with a few front button blouses. While they can be laundered at home, I like the professional pressed look. When I arrived to pick my garments up, there was a line of complaining customers ahead of me. ALL complaining of a foul odor on their "cleaned" clothing. You could actually smell the odor as you walked into the store that day. When my garments were brought to me, I lifted the covering and inspected them. Yes, my garments also had this puke-like odor. It was string and oppressive and permeated all my blouses. The Owner said he would re-do them and "try" to get the smell out. I returned the next day and my garments still had the smell, while it was not as strong, there was no mistaking the odor. Luckily for me I was sable to launder these items at home which removed the stench. I suppose you get what you pay for. If you care about your clothes, DON'T bring them here. Just pay the higher amounts for a professional job. read more

I would give these people a zero if it were possible. Took a blouse in to be cleaned. The goal was to remove a small grease spot on front of the blouse. When picked up not only was the spot still there I found new blue streaks on the front of the blouse as well as the cuffs & back of the blouse. The clerk said they will try again on the spot and that since the blue was an over abundance of cleaning fluid that will come out & the blouse will be as good as new. Wrong!!! The spot is gone but the blue stains remain. Needless to say, the blouse is ruined and not wearable. A man who I assume is the owner & pretends not to speak or understand English, after seeing the damage started actively motioning with his arms and repeating the word NO NO NO. He refused to take responsibility for the damage or to reimburse me for the cleaning/damage. My advice do yourself a big favor and stay as far away from them as possible. They take your money in advance, are rude and unprincipled plus refuse to accept responsibility for not doing the job properly. read more
