Josh and Champion Cleaners deserve all the applause for excellent service. I don't hand out stars in my reviews, but when quality service is rendered, I do not mind and gladly rate Champion Cleaners so very highly for doing all the little and big things right. I don't know if anyone is paying attention, but quality and quality service is lacking these days. It's easier and often of less cost in the short run to take short cuts at the expense of customer loyalty and sense of receiving the best of treatment from a person and business you may rarely see in this age of pickup and delivery. If you're reading this all the way through, good on you and better for you. I can confidently state Champion Cleaners is a service you can count on to pickup and deliver as if you know Josh and his business as a brick and mortar. Understand what that means in this day and age. Understand you will be a loyal customer of Champion Cleaners without question. How often can one state that these days...? Let me give you my most recent example. I have a white Guayabera all linen long sleeve shirt with the vertical pleats on the front, the kind you can wear to church, to weddings, to fine dining, and on important dates. Now then let that shirt be unknowingly stained in multiple places on each sleeve by a dark and tarry mushroom supplement you take. You think, "this shirt is ruined on the first wear." Not so quick with Josh and Champion Cleaners. I texted Josh and told him of the challenge to clean this shirt. He replied, "we'll do our best." Their best at Champion Cleaners was well up to the job and I texted Josh that perhaps he heard the applause coming from my direction in the still of the early morning in the City. Josh and Champion Cleaners can save you money and save your garments. Five stars! read more

Recommend based on: quality of work, price, and customer services. First, the owner was very honest about the condition of my coat, told me that the stains might be impossible to be removed, and he even recommended me not to do business with him. But I still wanted to give it a try, and the end result was really good. Meanwhile, price was very reasonable at $25. On the scheduled pickup date, there was a snowstorm in the city; I left a voice message at the store, the owner called back to let me know when he would be in the store, so that I could come and pick it up. read more

Champion Cleaners has been the best place for me to get my clothes professionally dry cleaned in the city! Friendly service and impeccable job! I really put my down jacket through the ringer this past winter and it had black stains on the sleeves. Not cute, but they returned it to me looking good as new! So happy with my seemingly 'fresh buy!' Also, get in while you can - it's their new location, so they're offering a great deal for walk ins! Thank you Champion Cleaners! read more

I came to Champion Cleaners to dry clean a bespoke suit jacket that cost nearly $1,000 and took 1.5 months to make. I received the jacket back with substantial damage to the chest area that is unfixable (I asked the top reweaving professionals in NYC for their opinions and they all said the jacket is unsalvageable). His first excuse was that the jacket had a hole before I dropped it off. He then backtracked and said that it deteriorated during the dry cleaning process after I mentioned I have pictures of the jacket before it was cleaned. He saw the stain and decided to put harsh chemicals on it knowing the risks of destroying it and did not disclose any warning to me. Josh at Champion Cleaners refuses to provide compensation for his mistake and has recommended I proceed with litigation. I highly recommend avoiding this business as they do not take responsibility for their mistakes. read more

Responsive, professional, and courteous. These cleaners can be trusted to clean and iron your clothes with care. I don't actually live in the Murray Hill area, but they still are willing to do free delivery and pickup to my apartment in Hell's Kitchen with a 1-week turnaround. I've used them 3 times now, and after my second service, they even gave me a free laundry bag with my name and apartment number attached! No more throwing my clothes into a trash bag and slapping a piece of paper with my name on it! For the pieces with stains, they'll be upfront with you about whether or not they can get it out, and even if it's not absolutely spotless, they get pretty darn close. I have been super impressed with their attention to detail. Love these cleaners and I will only be sending my delicate pieces to them! read more

I can't say enough about Champion Cleaners (Ding Dong Cleaners). They are professional, courteous and go out of their way to make their clinets' happy. We have challegned them with all kind of stains, including oil from the subway and our clothes come out cleaned and restored to their original state. They pick up and drop-off and their turnaround is quick. We have used their mending services on delicate fabrics like cashmere sweaters and the result is excellent. They are responsive and reliable, which is hard to find these days. We have used them for the last 5 years and we trust them to clean and mend our cloth. We highly recommend Ding Dog Celaners for all dry clean and mending services. read more

Highly recommend champion cleaners! I have had two very positive experiences, one for regular cleaning of a dress which had a fast turnaround and one that was a small miracle! I had a cream cotton dress that was stained by a forgotten blue shirt in the wash - despite the low odds they were able to get the blue transfer stain out and return my dress to its previous condition. I was and am very pleased and grateful. Also, great prices. read more

I owe the owner this review and I'm sorry this has been long overdue -- sorry Josh! Right before Christmas I went to a friend's birthday party and made the idiotic decision that I was gonna wear my favorite white wool skirt. I ended up spilling red wine all over it and the stains were literally everywhere on that skirt and turning dark brown. The skirt was out of stock everywhere so I was really devastated. I then, again being a complete idiot, sent the skirt to a dry cleaning delivery service I usually use -- they didn't manage to get the stain out at all, only made it slightly lighter but still unwearable. I even looked up dying and embroidery as alternatives to save the skirt. Then I found this cleaner on Yelp and one of the reviews mentioned they managed to get the red wine stains out of a slip cover so i thought I might as well give it a try. I brought the skirt to Josh and he said the previous dry cleaning process made it difficult for a second round of cleaning because he needs to take out whatever chemicals they used first before they can apply theirs. He said no promises but he'd try his best. I left the skirt there for three weeks since I was going on holidays vacations. When I came back -- omg!! Josh completely saved the skirt. He told me he let the skirt go through 6 rounds of cleaning processes and finally got it to this state, and he didn't charge me any extra. Is there still a slight mark of stain? Yes if you look closely. But is that skirt wearable now? Yes totally! I wore it to a concert recently and nobody noticed. I don't have the before pic because it breaks my heart to look at it but I can guarantee you it was in a horrendous amount dark stains. And look at the after!! Thank you Josh for being a true hero. read more

Excellent dry cleaner operation. They take time and care into each piece of clothing I've brought to them. Usually my key pieces are cashmere sweaters and scarfs that need special attention. And it is always returned In a lovely state. They recommend certain pieces for lint removal and it makes sense on more frictioned well worn items. I also take my St. John's blazers here for dry cleaning. They have an extra charge for it but it is worth it. First for them knowing that it's a different level of quality and second for taking extra precautions. Would recommend time and again. They don't even deliver to me, I take the extra mile to go to them read more

This place added a dark stain to the most visible white part of my favorite shirt. The owner went back and forth multiple times changing his excuse at every interaction and I had to chase him down to return my shirt that he couldn't clean. My husband and I paid a visit to calmly request a refund and the owner insulted me, referring to me as "illogical madness." He quickly apologized to my husband to avoid escalation, instead of apologizing to me. I've been a regular customer for a year but no woman deserves to be treated this way by a sexist, rude, dishonest man. read more

A few months ago I had a dress I wore to a Southern wedding with some terrible deodorant and sweat stains. I was scared to find a new dry cleaner in the city to trust with my dress, but they did a great job! They picked up and dropped off at my building for me and we're so trustworthy and responsive. Amazing job cleaning the dress and look forward to working with them again in the future! read more

They were always great when i lived in murray hill, i miss them!

Champion Cleaners is the best!!! I brought a vintage Burberry dress to be dry cleaned and unfortunately during cleaning one piece melted. The owner explained that they couldn't have seen that coming. Even though it wasn't their fault, the owner took the dress to 2 different tailors (one of whom refused to work on it) and ended up getting it fixed (free of charge)! A few hooks were missing when I took the dress in, and the owner even had the tailor fix those, again free of charge to me. They went absolutely above and beyond to fix an issue they didn't even create!! I'll absolutely be trusting Champion again in the future. read more

Great customer service! Manhattan prices but quality service. Dropped off a delicate duvet to dry clean for the first time and was quoted $35. Although I didn't get the name of the owner, he was genuine and friendly. He told me to come in two days later to pick up but to call in case it would be ready a later time. I waited three days just to give an extra day, as I wasn't in a rush. When I came back, he remembered exactly what I got cleaned. For the convenience that I am in midtown often, I found Champion Cleaners from the top reviews and they were true! My satin duvet was like-new and clean. It was totally worth the money, and I was satisfied with the price. They accept card and are open decently late. I believe they do same day service as well. Will try again when I need some dry cleaning done. read more

This place is ok - speedy service - they pick up and deliver to your door. Price is a bit much for what you are getting but it is NYC read more

I was in a quick rush for a wedding and needed some dry cleaning and champion cleaners saved me. Not only was the owner fast, responsive, but the service itself was incredible. I had significant staining in my white Hugo boss dress shirts and now they look brand new. I would recommend this service to all of my family and friends read more

I used to live in the area And they were really v polite and helpful Price was good and clothes were really laundered not like where I've moved to now read more

Champion worked a miracle on my sister's sweater! We found this sweater at an outdoor flea market and it really needed a clean. We attempted to hand wash it according to the directions but the blue dye bled and left the sweater worse looking than before. The owner said he was doubtful they would be able to remove the stain but promised to try his best. They tried EVERYTHING, they even called to ask for permission to run it through water to try and get dye out. 2 weeks later (this was a very difficult project) I went to pick up the jacket and was AMAZED! The results speak for themselves (the color of the sweater did not change, the after pictures were taken in a different room): the stains are range from completely gone to barely noticeable! If you have a treasured thrifted find that needs to be cleaned; let these guys handle it first! Their prices are extremely reasonable, and you can save yourself the panic of a DIY gone wrong! read more

I had to get the buttons on the front of my jacket/blazer fixed a few hours before an event on Saturday and they got it done in an hour! The quality of the sewing is very very good. I will keep going back to them for all my basic alteration needs. read more

I give one star based on the inflexible delivery service, rude man who answers the phone and the dry cleaning itself. I gave my clothes to Champion on a Friday morning, notifying them that I needed a turnaround by Monday morning. They said it was no problem and to call anytime before to schedule a delivery. Four times, Champion under performed which is irritating when I am unable to under pay accordingly. First, on Monday morning, I called for delivery but Champion did not show up in 30 mins as they said they would. Second, on Monday morning, I called back and scheduled a delivery on the same day at 6:30pm; come 6:30pm, no Champion. They reasoned that they needed confirmation that I would be home. Third, on Monday early evening, I called for the 3rd time. The man on the phone blamed me for not calling to confirm the 6:30pm delivery (after reminding me that I'm not their only customer). He said delivery would take 15-20 mins. I took over an hour. Fourth, (a) my clothes weren't pressed with clean lines, (b) Champion didn't take the time to cut loose threads, (c) Champion didn't zip dresses up which resulted in lopsided dresses. read more

Great drop-off wash, dry and fold service, with the best smelling detergent ever! So clean and fresh. Love their next day pick-up and option for special requests on certain items. They have many other services, as well, with public use of machines at limited times on certain days. Convenient In town location and nice attentive employees. read more

This dry cleaning service blew me away! I got oil on a newly purchased down coat with a polyester shell and was convinced the stains would be permanent (oil on polyester is famously difficult to remove!). I brought the coat here and they completely removed all of the oil stains! It wasn't easy but the owner made sure absolutely everything was done to try to remove the stains. The owner was incredibly nice and communicative. I am so grateful to them for making my coat wearable again. I highly recommend this service for anything, since they did the seemingly impossible with my coat! read more

We were in town for a work trip and my significant other needed laundry washed as well as suites dry cleaned. I called the store and the clerk said he could have everything done is less than 24 hours, and he did. Fast and friendly service. read more

I have been going here for a few years now. I brought a gown to be repaired that had a slit that ripped too much. I wore the dress to a wedding and it completely re-ripped after wearing it for 30 minutes. I am now running around looking for safety pins. I am extremely frustrated with this read more

SUCH a fan. Normally go to the dry cleaners down the street because of sheer convenience. Not only was I not able to get out the original marks but they also left watermarks on my clothes! I had given it back to them and they said there was nothing else they could do. I brought it into Champion Cleaners, got it back and the stains were slightly better but still there. I pointed them out, and lo and behold, by the next week (now at least 1.5 months since the original stains) they got the stains out! I was basically 100% sure my expensive clothes that I loved were screwed. The customer service here is absolutely impeccable. Will be coming here for dry cleaning from here on out!! read more

closed temporarily- moving to 29th and 2md in June thank you for the quick update on status

Josh is THE man! Honestly never had a better cleaning service or customer service in the 10+ years I've lived in New York. Prompt, polite, reasonably priced. What more can you ask for? read more

I called and was told their location was closed but they would pick up and drop off. I was unable to wait for their service and so they recommended another cleaners nearby that was able to do the job for me. Very helpful. read more

This is a long overdue review - I've been using Champion Cleaners for the past 5 years for both laundry and dry cleaning. They do such a wonderful job - I have always received my items back in perfect condition. Josh and the rest of the team are so friendly and professional, they make our interactions so pleasant. Highly recommend! read more

Great wash n' fold! I was staying around the block at Pod 39 Hotel with my boyfriend for 10 days and we both needed some laundry and dry cleaning done. I've lived in cities before so there was no way I was going to pay per item at the hotel when there are places like Champion near buy! The price is incredible and the service was fast and reliable. I dropped off 15 lbs of laundry, paid extra for a laundry bag and washing colors separately, and dry-cleaned a men's suit and a sweater - it was less than $60 for everything! They also had it ready in 24 hours. Nothing was damaged or lost - everything was spotless! Can't recommend enough. read more

I almost never write reviews. I admit to being a selfish Yelp user. However Champion cleaners really helped me out so I felt the need to sing their praises. I have your standard pottery barn couch with a very light covered linen slip cover, almost white but not quite. One night I pulled a typical idiotic move and tried to swat at a fly right next to my very full glass of red wine, and you can probably guess how that turned out. The stain was about the size of a dish towel, and deep red. It had also dripped down onto the dust ruffle so both pieces (the main seat cushion and the whole piece underneath) needed attention. When I brought these pieces in, Josh at the front desk promised me he would try his best to get the stain out but that there was a possibility the stained portion would be white after removal of the stain. I said it was worth trying so I left and crossed my fingers. Josh called back later to say that he had spoken to his employee who does the stain removal and that he wanted me to bring the remaining cushions over. Since there was a chance that the stain removal process would change the overall color, he thought it best to run all of the slip covers through so they would ultimately match. He did all the extra covers at no charge. I got all my pieces back without a trace of red. Can't say enough about the customer service. Josh also rigged up a way for me to carry it all back to my house around the corner that was much easier than managing on my own. Thank you Champion Cleaners!! read more

I read the previous reviews about dress shirts coming back dingy and stained, but ignored them because of the convenience of Champion to my location. Unfortunately they turned out to be true. The staff was always friendly and responsive, and the price is good. But I will not be returning due to the quality of the cleaning. read more
