I'm a new customer and a fire victim from the Eaton Canyon Wild fires in Altadena. I'm staying here in Claremont and decided to drop off a few things.i should mention that I am of African American decent and I believe that's the reason why I was treated unfairly was due to my race . As I was dropping off my things, a white man came in behind mw and immediately worker helped him instead of finishing my transaction me., I didn't appreciate rhe unprofessional treatment. The only thing different between me and him was the shade of our skin and I'm just wondering, America. Is this ever gonna change? Very unprofessional and ignorant behavior. I will not tolerate being treated this way and I will never go back to that establishment again. read more

5+ star service! Mrs Shalu and her entire family are the nicest people on the planet. I always got my clothes done whenever requested, and they delivered to my home! I even got the sweetest holiday texts, which is so kind. I am so sad to be moving and I know I will never find service quite like this. I highly recommend to everyone! read more

Decent service but they charged me extra for "original hem." I garuntee this is not what the $300 original hem from Neiman Marcus on my frame jeans looked like when I bought them. read more

BJ, the owner has misplaced a pair of expensive JOES jeans that cost me $100 and denied it. I had came back to give him this jean to add to the other clothes I just submitted to him mins. before at the same time, and he said I didn't need a receipt for the add on became he was busy with a customer and would add it the order later. I gave him about a month to find it, and he still unapologetically denied I ever gave him the jeans. I was polite in inquiring about my missing jeans with him the whole time. I will never come back here, and I recommend others do not either for this is an untrustworthy business establishment. read more

I purchased an inexpensive suit that needed to be completely tailored. Acme did an amazing job taking in the jacket and pants. Fantastic service and great quality. Highly recommend. read more

Great dry cleaners. As a person with a severe laundry allergy and who's ironing skills are just above shake the cat hair off of it it's nice to have friendly local people who are willing to accept my money (not even that much of it) so that I don't look like I slept in the parking lot when I show up to a meeting. All kidding aside. Good place. Good people. Friendly. They did a good job on the shirts I had pressed and I will use them again. read more

I have been trusting my clothes, dry cleaning and trailoring at this location for a few years now. I have never had any complaints about the service I am provided. My suits are always nicely pressed and dry cleaned to a crisp. I have taken my jeans to get pressed and tailored with out issues and shirts are returned to me with one sharp edge crease. You won't go wrong with trusting this business and the wonderful people that work there. read more

No ratings, my boyfriend came here with 16 pieces and all of the items came back shrunken. All his items were name brand and great quality. He has gotten all his pieces dry cleaned in the past and decided to try this spot out, never again read more

2012 Update: I received a message from someone related to this business, calling me a bitch. After I replied, they deleted their Yelp account. Just saying. - - - LAST UPDATE EVER...! As it's been for the past million weeks, the worker told me my purse would be ready by yesterday. I knew it wouldn't be, because it was a holiday weekend, but I was SO over it, I didn't even bother saying anything. I called AGAIN, and of course, the bag wasn't ready, because it was a holiday weekend, and I was going to get 5 free articles of clothing to clean, because they somehow figured I'd want to go back to their store... I hung up and decided to call the Claremont Police to see what my options were. They told me to go talk to the owner first and if nothing worked out, then to call them again, so I went to the store. The owner wasn't there, so they sent me to the other store on Benson and Arrow. The owner was polite, but he told me leather bags take 3-4 weeks to clean, and he didn't seem to believe me when I told him that his worker told me 2 weeks, which was also reflected on the receipt I got. After telling him how unprofessional his workers were, he told me the bag was in Huntington Beach (what?!), and that for sure it'd be ready by today, and if it wasn't, then I could call the police. I understood (my boyfriend did too) that the owner said I'd be getting the purse for free and delivered to my house, but when he called this morning, he wouldn't be able to deliver it until after 1 pm, so I went in myself. The bag was a darker color than the original color should have been, but it didn't look as dirty as it did. The under part of the handles are still dirty though, and then he said he would charge me $35! I told him we had understood he said it'd be free, but he gave me attitude when he said no, that the only free thing he had offered were the 5 articles for cleaning, but that I had said no to that...Seriously, why would I want their AWFUL service again?? So he lowered the price to $30, I paid and left. If I could give this place -5 stars, I would. They are NOT professional, coordinated, or honest. They don't clean their own pieces, and they don't even keep track of their own 3rd-party cleaning schedules. They don't even have the consideration to call when they know they're doing a bad job. STAY AWAY. read more

Acme Dry Cleaners - the bag that caused so much trouble...! - Dry Cleaning Near Me - Claremont, California

Got the job done on my three pieces really well! Will be visiting again soon for my suit!

I have been coming here but I am sooo disappointed on how they handled my transaction. They stole 4 of my husband's slacks. I dropped off 8 pants and when I returned to pick them up they only gave me back 4 pants. Their reason was they made a mistake on the ticket when I dropped them off even though we counted the pieces together. What is the point of a slip of even with proof of qty of what was dropped off they still come back and say it's not what the slip says that they made a mistake on the ticket. Never coming back and don't recommend this place. read more

I feel a little guilty that I'm just now leaving this review--this has been my dry cleaners of choice for almost a decade. What I love about this place is that there's a personal touch. They know their customers and do a fantastic job keeping them happy. More than once they've very generously rushed a job for me in between work trips. The work they do is top-notch: my clothes always look perfect when I get them back. I appreciate the warmth of the owners, and I'm happy to keep supporting this local business. read more

High quality and environmentally friendly. The service is great too. Once I left my clothes for too long and even got a phone call reminding me. Very pleasant personnel. Family owned. read more

I took a brand New Jersey and I was really disappointed when I picked it up and noticed the blue letters on the front were all faded! Really upset will never go here again!! read more

I found this place when I moved into the area. The staff is really nice and accommodating. I walked away very happy with the job they did, and the price was fair for the area. If you need a place to go, drop by and say hello. The only issue I wish was better parking, but they have no control over that. read more

Don't bring your stuff here. This dry cleaners is an epic fail. I brought a sweatshirt here to get tailored, my boyfriend brought a shirt to get cleaned and pressed. My sweatshirt took a week, and then I had to send it back for another week because they didn't have the common sense to bring in the sleeves if they were already bringing in the sides- I don't want wings kthnx. I swear there were stains on it when I got it back the first time. Grand total for an easy, two week tailoring job? $40. I could have just bought a new sweatshirt. I also found out my sweatshirt was sent to a shop in West Covina to be tailored and my boyfriend's shirt was sent to Montclair to be cleaned. This store is just a front for other stores, so you end up getting charged two times more then you should have to pay. FAIL. read more

This shop is wonderful. It's a family owned business and the lady who runs it does her very best to make everything come out lovely for you wether it's the dry cleaning or alterations. I won't go anywhere else. I also know things can come up with all people and we are all human beings and this is a small mom and pop shop so I never wait till the last minute for anything. I had one thing they rushed for me and I am so grateful to them, but I don't want to stress them or me like that again. To the person who complained about a purse in a review this is my opinion on that. I've watched videos on YouTube of purses cleaned by the original manufacturer. It usually takes months and costs hundreds of dollars. The fact that not everyone knows how to clean a valuable purse like yours is evident and sourcing it out to an expert makes perfect sense. They only wanted the best for your item. The fact that person was busy isn't unusual. The fact they then probably rushed it because you got impatient and it wasn't as clean as you'd like or done as well as you'd like you get what you pay for next time send it to the manufacturer and wait months and pay hundreds of dollars. Because in the real world that's what it costs. I've had two vintage wedding dresses done with extreme spots on them and they really surprised me with how amazing they came out. One I made in 1974 the other one was 1992 and had never been washed or really sealed up. I've also started to conserve my mother's clothes that she sewed and some that were vintage designer gowns. The fact too they are now cleaned with environmentally friendly cleaners means so much to me. My daughters and granddaughters are seeing these for the first time. What a joy it is to share them when they look so lovely. Thanks for making that happen. read more

The people here are so nice. The owner and I have struck up quite a few conversations and she is so sweet. She even commented when I hadn't been in for awhile and asked how things were. As soon as we walk in the staff knows us and gets our record up without asking our name. Note to self: bring in more stuff. :) Acme Dry Cleaners are quick, professional, and have environmentally friendly practices. They also do alterations and fix-ups like hemming and have competitive prices. Great dry cleaners! read more

I am a big fan of Acme Cleaners. They do a great job, they are flexible and can have it done quickly if need be, the price is reasonable and they are friendly. They have even delivered for me in a pinch. Keep rocking Acme! read more

Like taking clothes for mom to wash. Very friendly and quality is top notch!

I needed a coat cleaned for an event, and I wasn't able to drop my coat off to be cleaned until the day before (a friday). The guy working here told me that my coat would be ready by monday, and when he saw the disappointed look on my face, made a call to get my coat done the very next day! I had to drive out to a different location to get it, but it was only about 4 miles away, so not a big deal at all. The guy working there (didn't catch his name, I'm sorry!) was so helpful and nice, the next time I need something dry cleaned, I will absolutely be back. read more

Ive been coming to this cleaner for about a year now. I have gotten my jeans, my suits and dresses dry cleaned here and so far so good. I love that they are environmentally friendly. Usually have it within 2-3 days and they give you a bar code ticket with your name and how many items you are dropping off so there is no error. The hours are great too. read more

I don't get my clothes dry cleaned, but I take so many items here to get altered. There is a lovely woman who is very sweet, and she does a perfect job every time whether it is taking in coats, dresses, or taking inches off of pants. I buy a lot of clothes at the recycled clothing store, and sometimes I can't pass up a piece just because it doesn't fit. At this place, they make the whole process very simple and easy breezy. I would say take whatever you need to get alterations. Conveniently in the Claremont village (well, convenient for me). read more

The people working here are nice enough, but I question their competence. They ruined a brand new $100 white dress shirt by putting it on a rusty hanger after cleaning it. I pointed this out when I picked up the shirt so they agreed to re-clean it. When I came back a 2nd time the shirt still had the rust stains. I gave up at that point. read more

The customer is the focus here - very good garment cleaning, fast, reasonable prices, and wonderful customer service and interaction. Being called by one's name is pretty special in retail these days, and that really sets Acme Dry Cleaners apart from other stores. read more

My husband and I frequent this area and I needed to find a good cleaners to take my suits and other work clothes to. I am newer to the area and I decided to try out this place and I'm glad I did! My first and only experience thus far was to have 2 pairs of pants hemmed. They were able to do them both in less than 3 days! I was so happy because I needed them quick. I am taking my suits over tomorrow to get cleaned and will expand on this review but so far, so good. Only $11.99 to dry clean a suit! This place has made me very happy so far and I have a feeling this will be my regular spot! read more

This cleaners is awesome! They have great service. The woman who owns the business is very sweet and makes a huge effort to remember the specifics of each customer. I was waiting behind a few others last weekend and she was able to recall which customer had a button missing, which one needed special hangers, and which one required extra attention for stain removal. She is also the parents' favorite in the village. All of us students love her! Plus we get student discount with FREE pick up and delivery at our colleges. They are expert stain removers and have taken out those that other cleaners have failed to do so. They do great alterations. It's a family business so they take good care. Quick, professional, and environmentally safe! Can't ask for a better place. read more

When my long trusted dry cleaner retired over twelve years ago; I tried a couple of establishments before a trusted friend/ business woman highly recommended Acme in 2002. She was spot on! The husband's custom silk suits, my knits, silk blouses, table linens, suede and leather jackets all come back in excellent condition. They are miracle workers on the worse stains. Alterations and repairs are sent out and take about a week to get back. Acme contracts with exceptional craftsmen. My husband's favorite cashmere sport coat had a pea sized whole from moth damage that was prominently visible on the shoulder blade; we took it to the tailor who could not restore it. Rekha, at Acme assured us it could be repaired, provided a quote and two weeks later returned it expertly re-woven. We were thrilled! read more

Perfect place to get wedding dress dry cleaned! The owner was super nice and helpful! When I looked at my dress I couldn't believe how cleaned it looked because I knew I had left it really dirty from the bottom. But she made it look new again :) She also put my dress in a keepsake acid free box to keep my dress from turning yellow- good for 20 years. Its perfect! Truly recommend this place. read more

I have had a great experience with Acme. The owner is very friendly and always delivers on time. They pay attention to minor details like a missing or loose button and fix it. I have had stains on my shirts that my previous cleaners could not remove but Acme removed them in my first visit. Their alterations are reasonably priced. I give them a 5star for service, price, and timely delivery. read more

Great prices, get all your stains out, great customer service, they match prices with other cleaners

Kind, lovely people who remember my name and take care in all they do. Efficient and reliable. Been going there for years and I know I can count on them. read more

I dropped off a pair of pants that needed patching, and they had some trouble getting the pants back to me when they said they'd be back. More than anything else, I was disappointed that I didn't receive a phone call letting me know that they would be 3 or 4 days late before I went over on my break to pick them up--especially when it was scheduled to take 5 days in the first place. After finding out that I'd come in and my pants weren't done, the owner called me and let me know that she would have them ready for me the next day, and they did a good job with the patch. I'm willing to use them again because of the personal customer service and the fact that the work was done well, but I won't count on them for anything time-sensitive. read more

WOW, what an experience, they are so personable and professional! The pretty Indian lady goes out of her way to make sure my picky needs are met! I have seen her kids grow up, it's a family environment! DEFINITYLY RECOMENNDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I visited 3 cleaners prior to stopping here and they are the only cleaner to take the job no fuss or questions asked! The wedding gown was vintage and needed pleats put back into it and a cleaning. Both tasks were completed in a timely manner and executed above my expectations. Rather than doing the whole dress at once they did do a test run for me to come in and see prior to them completing the task which is fantastic I got to see what I was buying. Price was very reasonable for what needed to be done. Overall the process and result was great! read more

A wonderful, cheerful, family run business. They did a great job with the suits and dress shirts I gave them. Clothes were ready when they said they would be. read more
