I've lived around the corner for 3 years now, and this place is my go-to. I don't bring any clothes Id want to wash delicately but it's a great option for bulk laundry. I've also had simple alterations done no problem. This is a family run business and they are all very kind and I will continue to support them! read more

I use them for alterations. The women who runs the shop is nice but does not understand anything you ask about alterations. I find it difficult to not be able to meet the actual person who does the alterations. I have had two expensive items ruined. I had a wool blazer taken up in the sleeve and they just folded over the cuff. Now the buttons are right at the end of the cuff. WhenI went back to ask her about the way it was done, she couldn't come up with a good explanation. I also had a hard time explaining why I didn't like it. She said it's the only way that they do it. A men's suit would be ruined if they did it this way. I also had a dress hemmed only one inch which was the exact same length of the hem it had when purchased. The material is puckered and damaged and not done correctly. I wish that they had someone that I could call to discuss this matter. Its a place right around the corner from where I live and I really wanted to like them! read more

I recently moved to Boston and Beacon Hill, and wanted to find a dry cleaners I could go to 1-3 times per month for basic men's shirt laundry and dry cleaning. I called around, and A Plus was the cheapest shirt laundry for $2.15/shirt. (Other locations were $2.25 - $2.50, so not a huge difference.) Because they're not on Charles Street, I wonder if they're less busy and have faster turnaround times, but I'm not sure yet. There was a cute old lady sitting on a stool folding laundry (they have wash and fold; see picture for prices). She was pleasant, took my order, and I left. I came in on a Monday at 10:30am, which was too late for next day service (I didn't expect next day, though I did ask), so I'll pick up on Thursday and hope to post an update once I get my stuff back. Just 8 men's shirts, 2 slacks, 1 dress, and 1 skirt. As you can note from my pictures: - Credit cards are accepted, minimum purchase is $15.00 - Open on Saturdays, 8am - 5pm (some locations in Beacon Hill are only Monday - Friday) - Open 7am - 7pm Mondays through Fridays (I like having later hours) - See pictures for pricing list Personally, my brief experience dropping off was great. Note that I DON'T take expensive clothing to a place like this. But I'm happy to have regular men's shirts and women's clothes (all under $50 each) cleaned at a basic dry cleaners. Keep your expectations realistic, people! If you don't want fancy stuff getting ruined, take it to a fancy dry cleaners. A Plus is my kind of place when it comes to cheap dry cleaning. read more

See all

I've been going to A Plus Cleaners for over two years now and find it fantastic. The elderly woman who is always there is very friendly and efficient. The prices are low and the turnaround time is fast (generally ~48h for professional pieces). Had five skirts and 2 suits dry cleaned after some intense use and they came back good as new. Everything came down to just under $60. Amazing! read more

It's cheap, it's fast, it's good. We dropped off about nine pounds of laundry at 1pm on Wednesday. Our laundry was ready to go at 10am Thursday. It was really inexpensive, only $12.50. She was polite, and the transaction went exactly how I expected it to go. Our clothes were returned to us nicely folded, in plastic. She also does dry-cleaning services, if you're interested, but not sure about the cost or time. read more

You should AVOID THIS PLACE! I made the mistake of using this dry cleaner to clean a suit, since it is close to my home in Beacon Hill. I dropped the suit off on Monday and they told me it would be available for pick up on Wednesday. When I returned on Wednesday afternoon, they couldn't locate my suit jacket. They lost my jacket! They had no idea where it was and said it would "maybe" show up Thursday evening. I explained that I needed the suit for Thursday and picking it up the next day wasn't feasible. The owner then brought her adult son out to attempt to look for the suit jacket another time. After he was unable to find it, he became extremely rude and said "You'll just have to pick it up Thursday." No apology. No signs of remorse. I arrived in gym clothes after a workout and I'm African-American. Throughout the encounter, he was extraordinarily condescending and rude. I doubt he would be rude to a white client. In actuality, I'm a surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital. I can't believe any business owner would be so disrespectful to a client, especially when the owner made a mistake. I will never bring my clothes back to this establishment. They advertise same day cleaning and that has to be a complete lie. They weren't even able to clean my clothes over a two day span. AVOID THIS PLACE!!This is unacceptable behavior and the epitome of unprofessionalism. read more

She tried charging me a dry cleaning charge for a coat that explicitly says not to have dry cleaned, and the price she was going to charge still remained unchanged after I corrected her to only have it washed. I am not comfortable paying for a service with no set prices, especially when you e made it perfectly clear you're ripping me off. read more

Be prepared for some communication problems if the people who know English are not here. There seems to be two groups of people who work in the store- English speaking and those who don't. While I could really hold that against them for customer service I only care about my clothes. When i get things done there I know they will be done quickly, correctly, and not smelling of really strong chemicals. I have to admit that I am the worst person when it comes to picking up something once it has been dropped off, as long as there is not urgency for me to use it. For example... I dropped off two dresses here in late October and just picked them up... in May. They were summer dresses and I clearly did not need them in there tundra that is Boston and so I easily forgot about them. Luckily! They still had them. I have to admit that if they got rid of them I would not have questioned it since it was over 6 months. So go here if you like good dry cleaning at a great price (dresses are $10). English not guaranteed. read more

doesn't look like much, but it is surprisingly efficient, and cheaper than Zoots! My shout out goes to the little woman who was there to do an emergency hem on my new suit pants 2 hours before a flight to Michigan for a wedding. She saved my be-hind. If you live near the statehouse, check out this little garden level place right behind it, you will be glad that you did! read more

I've been here a couple of times now for dry cleaning and have been very happy. Decent prices and friendly service. My garments are always ready when they say they will be. I don't get the reviews about not being able to communicate--sure, English isn't their native language but I've never had any trouble understanding or being understood here. read more

Some of the reviewers of this place are downright rude. Particularly the ones who talk about the staff who don't speak English as a first language. The staff here is SO NICE. I was using this place for wash/dry/fold for two years while I lived on Hancock Street and now I'm in LA and there's NOTHING LIKE THIS around. It sucks so count your blessings before you leave 1 star. The laundry service is great. Try it at least once and see for yourself. Price can't be beat for the convenience and the staff is sweet as pie. Just speak slowly, be NICE, and understand that Vietnamese and English are very different. I doubt any of the haters on here have ever lived in a country where they didn't speak the language. read more

Was staying down the street for a couple days. Went to have my clothes washed and folded. Three shirts, a sweatshirt, and pants came back Steiner with what looked like red coolaid. Dont trust with your clothes. Two stars because they didn't dry and shrink my jeans but gave them special care. read more

Beware this place ruined 6 of my shirts. I was told the machine was broken and could I come back the following day. I returned the following day to be told that ALL of my shirts have been burnt. I wouldn't trust them with your clothes. The owner is only offering to pay $20.00 dollars per shirt. That doesn't even buy a new shirt. read more

Price is good, but I got a pair of pants back with a couple of holes at the bottom. Pretty positive they weren't there when I brought them in. I haven't taken them back yet to see if they can fix them or reimburse me. read more

Great job. This place is practically hidden, and super tiny, but that doesn't take away from the quality of work done. I've been going here for my dry-cleaning needs for a couple of months now, and definitely have no complaints. They are much cheaper than most places, conveniently located to anyone in the State House area, and have great business hours. read more

I dropped some dry cleaning off and I lucked out because the person working here that day spoke English. I came back on Tuesday to pick up the clothes but the lady there didn't speak English and I couldn't understand what she was saying so it was frustrating to have to come back another time and find that they still didn't have anyone there who spoke English. I came back on Thursday to pick up my clothes only to find out that it was delayed until Friday. It was a mild annoyance but I did not need the items urgently so it was ok. I picked them up on Friday and I was able to get the clothes. They were clean and folded well. I've given them an extra star for price because it was inexpensive but the delay was quite tiresome. It's a tiny place and in the basement so it can be a little hard to find. They are open early and close late so that's a definite plus considering that it's in Beacon Hill. read more

These people are mediocre at best. They don't have good quality control on removing stains and don't really seem to care. If I am going to pay to have something dry cleaned, I shouldn't have to be quality control and send it back when there are large obvious stains still there. I also don't think it's right that I have to pay for dry cleaning when they can't remove the stain. They also have a tendency to break shirt buttons (which I have to point out) and don't do that good a job on pressing shirts (again, bad QC and general indifference). I've been a customer for about a year and have been gradually worn down by their indifference and am now done. They have lost me as a customer for good. Not sure where I'm going yet, but definitely somewhere else. read more

I had a client spill coffee on her large puffy winter coat and called A Plus Cleaners to see if they could do same day cleaning. Not only did the wonderful woman do a wonderful job cleaning the jacket, but did a rush same day job that would have normally taken two days! Made my client's day! read more

This is the only place I use for dry cleaning and laundry. I've never had a problem and the prices are fair--the English language issue can sometimes come up but the people are sweet and they work hard to make sure things are done right. Great hours too. read more

This place has really gone down hill recently. I used to be very happy with the quality of their dry cleaning. But over the past few months, the prices went up and the quality has really dropped. The first incident happened when I brought in a few shirts that were ink stained. (I think that one of my neighbors had a pen explode in our washing machine). Although the ink stains were bad, the lady behind the counter told me that she could get out the stains. Well she didn't. I paid for the services only to go home and find that the stains were still there (yes, I was stupid for not inspecting the shirts at the place). When I went back and complained, the lady offered to re-wash the shirts at a reduced price. She shouldn't have told me that she could get out the stains. When the stains didn't come out, she should've re-washed my shirts at no added cost to me. I already paid for the service with the expectation that the shirts be returned stain-free. If the stains couldn't be removed, then she should've refunded my money. The second incident happened when I dropped off another stained shirt for cleaning and a jacket for alterations. The jacket was ready before the shirt. When I picked up the jacket, the lady behind the counter asked that I pay for both services. I did, which was a big mistake on my part. When I picked up the shirt, it still looked dirty and like it wasn't even cleaned. I couldn't refuse to pay because I had already repaid. I've finally learned from my mistakes and now take my business elsewhere. read more

My only dry-cleaner...The woman here is excellent w/hems. Located right behind the State House and open later than most - weekdays until 7pm. For females, most items are $4. read more

A Plus cleaners are inexpensive, dependable and fast. I've used them both for cleaning and tailoring and have been satisfied with the results. The staff are very nice. English is not their first language but I have not had trouble communicating with them. I believe they do the tailoring on-site, which makes for faster turn-around times. read more

I've used this dry cleaner 3 or 4 times, and I like how low key this place is. This a solid, basic dry cleaner in a basement unit that works on the cheap. The staff is friendly and the clothes are done on time. read more

I've lived around the corner on bowdoin for 10 yrs and use the dry cleaner at Charles Sq instead of Aplus.I brought a jacket in need of a new zipper,they said its broke on the teeth and need a whole new zipper,I brought it to Charles Sq and they said I did'nt need a new zipper just the part that fell off $25 problem to$5 solution because I'm street wise to get a 2nd opinion.I think they consider everyone rich so they charge up.Sadly the young pretty girl who worked there started striking up a conversation with me and one thing led to another but I could'nt get over the zipper thing,we'd see each other in passing and she was almost chidlike in her 'you no visit me no more' I wonder if I need my head examined.She no longer works there and now I miss her but its commmon knowledge on the Hill to go to the one by the Beacon Hill Pub.Needless Mark up is one thing but fraud is another. read more
