This is my go-to place for service. I've tried some of the other cleaners around the area and they lack in customer service comparatively. This place does tailoring adjustments and a short time if needed. The price point is right on for both their dry cleaning and tailoring needs. read more

I took 2 rental tuxedos in to be pressed along with the accompanying white long sleeved shirts at 4:55pm on 8/30 I picked them up today from Dimitri when I received the text that they were ready and took them to my sons My son just called and said that the white shirts are not in the bags with the tuxedos - I watched the lady at the counter tie each set up together before I left the store when I dropped them off - the wedding is Friday and we need them by tomorrow. I just left a voicemail for Dimitri and praying they have the shirts ready and they just somehow got separated. The groom's tux/vest/shirt was dropped off to be pressed today - when I picked up the other two tux's - and the best man arrives tmrw and his is also being dropped off tmrw when he arrives from out of town - Dimitri is aware of the need for the quick turnaround so that it is also pressed same day tmrw My son, however, is a Marine and is panicking over the missing white shirts from the first two tux's they find them fast read more

I'm new to the area and was looking for a dry cleaner. I had a fur coat that I borrowed and wanted to clean before I gave it back. Earl Cleaners did an amazing job! It smells fresh and looks great! An extra bonus is that it was cleaned in just a few days! I'm definitely be going back in the future. read more

had 6 tie-backs made from vintage drapery for my vintage drapes. they turned out wonderful! quality sewing! very pleased!

This was my cleaner that I frequent a lot when I lived closer by. The service was always good and my items siesta cake back to me as requested. After the pandemic I know they've been a bit backed up but overall still good read more

I can only speak on the alterations since I've never had my dry cleaning done here but the tailoring services are unmatched! I have taken quite a few formal, beaded gowns to be taken up and they've done an amazing job every single time. Recently, my husband took a few pairs of slacks to be taken in and they did an amazing job, the tailoring was exquisite. If you need any tailoring or alterations done this is your place! read more

Wanted to write an update for my experience. Dimitri saw my review here and contacted me immediately to remedy the problem. As a bride, three days before my wedding, I was skeptical. But he wanted to make things right and asked me to bring my outfit back so he could personally clean it. I received the outfit back in great condition the next day. I appreciate Dimitri's apology and commitment to resolving the issue. He was professional and took my review seriously, while also going above and beyond to re-clean the outfit and get it back to me within a day. I'll definitely give Earl Cleaners another chance. read more

They are the best for hemming and alterations. The only place I trust. Give them a try.

I've been taking my alterations to Earl Cleaners for a few years now and the last trip there a few weeks ago was disappointing. After getting home and checking over the garments I wasn't pleased with the workmanship. I went back and they were more than willing to fix the problem. Picked up the garments the second time and they were perfect. You have to love a business that is willing to make it right! read more

I've been frequenting here for about five years now and they always do an impeccable job. What makes Earl Cleaners special is that they go the extra mile. They have always tightened or outright replaced loose or missing buttons on sportscoats and overcoats without being asked to do so -- or charging for the service and again, the cleaning is bar none. I dropped off some clothing on December 23rd to wear over the holidays to Mass and what not. Being that they were closed on Christmas Eve, I was told that I could pick my clothing up same day, no problem. Well, I got lost in my workday and totally forgot about my cleaning. Chalking it up as loss, I just figured I'd pick something else out of the closet. Lo and behold, midday on Christmas Eve, Dimitri calls me, tells me he'll be at the shop for a few and that he knew I needed my clothing for the holiday and that I could come pick it up. Mind you, they're closed, but going that extra mile makes all the difference. There's a cleaners on every corner. However, stellar service is hard to find and Earl Cleaners exemplifies that. read more

They do a pretty good job here I've been here 3 times the first time I needed my dress back the next day... when I went to pick up my dress, they couldn't find it! then miraculously after waiting about 30 min at the desk while they were looking for it, they found my dress, it had not been cleaned yet. they said there was a stain they were trying to get out which is odd because I have not worn this dress before it was straight out of the package and there was no stain when I took it in. The second time I took my clothes in, when I went to pick them up, they had included an article of clothing that wasn't mine. I don't know what's going on here and I'd love to go back because they are affordable and do a good job but I love my clothes and don't want to lose them when I take them in to be cleaned. read more

I try to avoid dry cleaning services but after a few holidays and events, there's no other way to avoid keeping your threads fresh. 3 dresses (valued around $30/each) and 1 suit rang in at $53 and change. Based on past experience, this was a steep charge and one I wasn't expecting. Prices aside - the company offers text alert notifications, treats for your furry friends, and service with a smile. Not sure il be back, unless the items I bring are substantially higher in value. read more

So incredibly thankful for this locally owned business. After being quoted $1200 for a bustle and a steam and clean at a well known corporate bridal store, they quoted me a fraction of the price. And I mean fraction. George was very personable and upbeat. You can tell he is truly a master at his craft. The rest of the staff were so incredibly nice and you can tell they get to know their customers personally. I highly recommend this place! read more

This laundry store has great service for comforter and clothes. I've been a customer for long years. If the price would be lower, it must not be beat by others. I give 5 star for reliable service if price is not considered. read more

I needed a ball gown altered so headed to see George. I had called ahead to make sure he was going to be there, and was told 10:30-3. I arrived at 10:30 and they said he was running late. Not a big deal, but a little disappointing when I had to sit and wait for 10-15-20 minutes (and there's only one chair). When he did arrive (with the poodle!) he was a nice little old friendly man. I changed in a tiny dressing room (right off the lobby) and then, well, had to stand in the lobby while he pinned the dress...while other customers came in and out of the store. I'm not bashful by any means, but it was a bit odd. The fitting only took about five minutes, and he gave me a pickup date of six days (I was there on Saturday and he said it would be done Friday). Unfortunately, when my husband went to pick it up Saturday (an extra day!) it wasn't done. Luckily I didn't NEED it that day, but I would have been ticked if I had. I don't have many alterations done so I don't know the etiquette, but I would have hoped they'd call to let me know it wasn't done when they said it would be. The new date was Tuesday, but I gave them until Thursday and it was done--YAY! The dress was altered flawlessly...and it fit perfectly...so they get four stars. They'd get five if they had a separate/private fitting area and had the garment done on time. read more

Earl Cleaners Review Took leather coat in and was told it would take a week. Reached out to them one week later Monday the 20th of December to be told that they hadn't started it yet and that the seamstress would get to it today I called Tuesday and was told the coat was still sitting on the table. I left my phone number and the owner then called me asking why my jacket was even there. When I told him about the zipper, he said there was nothing wrong with it so I explained about the sticking at the bottom and he tried it and told me the that the manufacturer had put the zipper in too tight and that he would move the zipper out and put a larger one in for me and it will take a few days which It did. I then called again and was told the coat was done and to come pick it up, when I got there, I paid for the zipper repair and the owner showed me the zipper and tested it in front of me and I left. When I got home to my horror there was 3 large gaps where the zipper wasn't even attached to the coat one was around 3 inches long. I called them and told them I wasn't happy and returned with the coat and showed one of the employees named Josh the large gaps he apologies to me and was very professional about it and took the coat back to show the owner and for it to be redone. I waited another week and still no call back so I called them and the coat still hadn't been done, with loud music in the background I was told it would be Wednesday due to there being an issue with the machine they use. Wednesday came and went and still no call so I called on Thursday the 30thof December, spoke to Josh again who told me he would keep bugging her till it was done. Lunch time came and I got a call. I then went to pick up the coat and to my horror where the zipper had been stitched into the coat had mangled the leather inside and out of it almost all the way up (see picks). I got a refund of my money and an apology but I am now left with a chewed-up leather coat and so far, have only worn it once and have had to already glue part of the leather back down where it came apart from the stitching they had done. (See pics), I am upset about it as it was a gift to me, to help me through the winter since I'm disabled and have limited funds. read more

Earl's Cleaners is your friendly neighborhood drycleaners/tailors that I've used for 5 years since I moved to Michigan. As someone who is vertically challenged, it is a foregone conclusion that every pair of pants I own will need alterations. George and the other tailors on staff are reasonable, timely, and have always produced excellent alterations! Recently I had two cold weather jackets that needed new Velcro fasteners at the wrists, and the tailors at Earl's Cleaners did their usual excellent job. Will repeat and definitely recommend! read more

Low prices, fast service, my suits and shirts always look great after getting them cleaned here. Ive been going here a while, tried a couple others but this place is really the best. Also great that they are a tailor service as well, I take all my jackets here for button reinforcement. read more

I called Friday hoping I could get something turned around in 24 hours. Unfortunately because people are working from home, they don't need to launder work shirts and stuff. Every single cleaner I called was over a week out. This suit is for my father-in-law whom was not expected to make it through the weekend and I wanted to have to ready when the time comes. I asked for recommendations on Facebook and had multiple people recommend this cleaner. I grew up in Royal Oak and knew this exact cleaner, I held my breath and called. I explained to her what I needed and she told me no problem. The owner would be happy to do it. She did start by saying they are about a week out.. I pleaded my case and I'm so thankful they were able to help me out. Yesterday, my father-in-law passed away. The last week has been such an emotional roller coaster, yesterday was just the ride ending. I woke up very early to ensure I was there when they opened. I walked in at 8:05 and greeted by the owner. I thanked him, explained why I was in a rush. He offered his condolences and made the experience better. I'm thankful I took the chance and called. As we engaged in conversation, he told me his business is down the drains. He went from 5-600 pieces of laundry a day to 4-500 in about a week- week and a half. He was respectful and went out of his way to help. He even told me that he had wished I didn't pre-pay because he does funeral clothes at no charge. Can you imagine? Fighting to keep you business alive but still offering your customers such kindness? It really is the neighborhood cleaner. I will without a doubt offer my recommendation for this cleaner and he won me over. Next time I need a dry cleaner I won't hesitate to come back. read more

They have been around for years, Family owned. They do a great job on the dry cleaning , I ask for very light starch and that's what I get . Missing a button, they will find one and add it at no charge. My GF is petite and has all of her jeans and dresses altered here by George the owner. He does a lot of wedding, bridesmaid's and prom dresses also. When you walk in the door watch out for the guard dog, a elderly miniature poodle. They are very well priced compared to the chain dry cleaners. Also very honest. I left some cash in a suit jacket. Did not even know it was there ( long night ) When I picked it up, there was an envelope with the cash. It's on Rochester Rd between 14 and 15 mile. Check them out ! read more

So now that I'm actually a customer and not just someone who locks her dog in her car and gets a ride home for a spare key from the owner (ala my previous review), I thought this was due for an update. George is a lifesaver. He has shortened my not so standard length "standard length" yoga pants. He has lengthened my too short jeans. He has patched (and subsequently repatched because someone had to demonstrate her low squat one night). But the icing on the cake was when I took my purse in because my dog (the same one from the car in the story before) decided that he had to have the chocolate bar that was in there, and as a result, he ate 98% of the lining too. While it took a while, and longer then I would have preferred, I got it back today and the lining is better then ever, and a much nicer lining too! And the best part? It was only $15 (and that included a cleaning) Go rip something just so he can fix it! read more

Earl's has been my go-to for shirt laundering, dry cleaning, and basic alterations for about 6 years now. They are a multi-generational family-owned business and it shows. The whole staff is friendly and welcoming; George, the Master Tailor, is a hoot. Your garments will be done at a fair price and on time. It is not often that I need a "rush" turnaround, but, on those occasions, Earl's Cleaners has been very accommodating. read more

I love this place. I come here for all of my dry cleaning as well as tailoring. George is a great tailor and has extremely reasonable prices. I've gotten everything tailored from pants to bridesmaids dresses. There are also two really cute mini poodles that are always there hanging out. Residents dogs are always a plus with me. read more

I have been going to Earl's for 16 years and my mom 33 years. They treat everyone like family! The dry cleaning is superb. I once took my coat to a chain drycleaner when I moved 20 miles away and I will never do that again. No one cleans like Earl's! Now, when it comes to alterations-no one holds a candle to George! His craftsmanship is above par. Again, when I moved 20 miles away and needed 3 skirts taken in I went somewhere close. Well I learned my lesson. ALWAYS see George! I tell ya driving 20 miles is worth it. I also don't know what I will do the day he decides to retire. I told him he has to clone himself beforehand. read more

Great dry cleaning! Would have given 5 stars but they only clean clothes on Thursdays. I've been a customer for years and will continue to go there! Highly recommend!!!! read more

Earl Cleaners is the best cleaners I've ever encountered. They are a family-operated organization who cares about your family. They are flexible and ready to help solve your problem. Our daughter had a wrinkled dress and Earl Cleaners was able to steam it on-the-spot! I waited 5 minutes and out came the masterpiece. As I waited I noticed the wall of customer reviews, all thanking Earl Cleaners for the wonderful and thorough service. It's obvious that the customers are happy with this cleaner and enjoy bringing their clothes back just like I will. Earl Cleaners just got a new, repeat customer. read more

Excellent service. Friendly, very accommodating. Had a last minute item that needed to be pressed with in the hour and they were more than happy to help me out! Thank you Earl Cleaners read more

I needed my wedding dress from the 1950s that was my grandmas cleaned in a pinch. Most other places over quoted me on price, or gave me an estimated time of months in advance. I explained that I really needed the dress ASAP to the owner, who was incredibly nice and genuine. My dress was done in time for my wedding day and looked absolutely amazing!! 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone looking to clean or preserve a wedding gown. read more

They cleaned my wedding dress and I will also have it pressed before the wedding day. They are amazing and efficient and the prices are so so helpful as a bride on a budget! VERY friendly people and they know what they're doing. Will definitely come back when I need other things cleaned! read more

The tailor is NEVER available. I was told to come at 10 am, I called before I left and they said he was not coming in. Yesterday they told me to come in around 5, but when I called to notifiy them I was coming they said he was not coming in. Today, I called and they said to come in at 1030. I called at 10:30 and they told me to come in at 11. Finally, I called at 11 and they said to come in at 11:30. I am VERY disappointed in their service and their inconsideration on how what they say effects people's plans. I took my service to Brother's Tailors and they immediately took me in and did a fantastic job. They know how to properly treat their customers. read more

Awesome service and super great pricing. I didn't think that some of the jackets and pants I brought to them could be saved, but they made them look close to new. Thank you guys! read more

I have to say, I have used Earl Cleaners for over twenty years! They are friendly, fast, so knowledgeable and have a great alterations department! The pricing is also the most reasonable in the Royal Oak, Clawson, Troy area. The thing I also appreciate, is that if they are ever jammed-think Prom time -They will always tell you! Or if you feel something should be dry cleaned, they will say hey we can save you some money by just laundering. Very honest people. No one better! My son is now using them so second generation in our family!! read more

Did an amazing job on my suit for my wedding and a great job of describing what he need to do.

O m g I love love love George. I'm a curvy Polak and he made my dress amazing! I will never go anywhere else he's amazing!!! Big personality for a Greek man and I love it! read more

This place got great reviews on other review sites, so we took two of my fiance's shirts to get pressed and to have my bathrobe repaired (seam had torn down the side). I was a bit concerned about the robe as it was my father's and I inherited it when he passed away nearly a decade ago and it was not in the best condition. Pros: Cheap: Under $2 per shirt and also a few bucks to repair the ripped seam. Cons: - Does not accept credit card payment under $10. Our bill was about $7 after tax, TheFiance told the clerk to just charge the $10 and they refused to it and with no ATMs near-by, this became problematic. Finally, the clerk did the "Just this one time" bit and charged for exact amount on the credit card -- but NO SIGNS are posted anywhere that there is a $10 minimum for credit. - The dress shirts, which were pressed for a wedding and another special occasion, we noticed were actually pressed with creases not part of the shirt and they pressed OVER the buttons so that there were button indentations on the shirt. It was like instead of straightening out the shirt to press it clean, if there was a crease, it was left. HOrrible pressing service. - They repaired the seam on the robe but left close to 1.5 inches of seam material on the inside, which was weird. There were also a lot of loose threads that were sewn into the seam and left dangling. It was like they had extra threading was stuck on someone's arm who was doing the sewing, those threads got stuck in the seam as it was being sewed and they didn't think to remove the threads. We will never go back to this place again. read more

This is a quality business. My garments were cleaned and pressed expertly, and I was greeted at the door by a smiling person each time. These are the kinds of businesses I enjoy to patronize. No frills, no fake attitudes, just quality all around. read more

I was quoted a price on the phone, than charged double that when I went to pick them up. Called a liar, and swore at. I find it interesting you feel compelled to explain about YOUR business. I have been a customer exclusively of Earls cleaners for 25 years. And never have I been treated poorly. I have always dealt with George prior to now! I NEVER asked for ANYTHING free. I simply tried to explain I was quoted differently on the phone. That's when this EMPLOYEE became irate! He also called me at work the morning after this yelp appeared (7 am)and SCREAMED into the phone until I finally "just hung up" as he had NOT called to have a conversation just SCREAM over anything I said! read more

So far the first time dropping off something to be tailored and the owners were super nice and pleasant. Very very friendly.

Friendly service and fast turn around. The best kept secret in the area!! I highly recommend this place!

This is for the tailor (whom I believe is Earl himself). He does fine work at a great price for my needs which is mostly shortening dress sleeves and tailoring pant legs. I do not use their launder service because I use Sylvia's for that. This seems to be the best combo for me so far! read more
