Great and friendly service! Highly recommend for cleaning and alterations. Thank you Preet!

ZERO STARS, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. This was a terrible service experience from start to finish. I dropped off three pairs of pants for alterations on 12/16 and was required to pay in full upfront. I was explicitly told the alterations would be completed by 12/23 (receipt attached). When I went in on 12/24 to pick them up, I was shocked to learn they hadn't even been started--not delayed, not started at all. One of these pants was needed for a Christmas Eve party today, and because they failed to meet their own promised deadline, I now have nothing to wear. What made this even worse was that I was not the only customer affected. While I was there, at least four other people were also trying to pick up their items, and none of their alterations were completed either. This clearly shows a pattern of poor management and broken promises. It is completely unacceptable to take full payment, set clear expectations for pickup, and then fail to deliver without communication or accountability. This lack of professionalism is unacceptable. Save yourself the frustration and take your business elsewhere. read more

Elm Dry Cleaners - Dry Cleaning Near Me - Lincoln, California

They ruined 3 of my four pieces of DRYCLEANING. See the photos below. It's best to have your garments dry cleaned on site. Otherwise they drive them to the Auburn location and drive your clothes back. Hence the grease from the truck. Pocket was melted and water stain not completely removed. read more

See all

Do not use them for alterations. Gave them 3 pants to have waist taken in. They did a horrible job and can't wear any of them. They said they will correct....waiting weeks, THEY ARE THE WORST! Suggestion: Find a good seamstress in your neighborhood. 0 star read more

They did such an amazing job on my son's jujitsu GI, I'll be back. I'm so grateful that I was able to find this place and Lincoln.I definitely want to spread the word. Also they're very kind here. read more

I take my uniforms here regularly. The prices are fair they are always ready on time and their customer service is unmatched. I had a very difficult stain in one of my shirts I said no big deal if you can't remove it since it's been there for a while, to my surprise they took the extra effort and time to remove it completely gone! My experience with any issues they have corrected right then and there. Also another reviewer complained about paying upfront before the service i prefer it that way since I'm always on go. I won't take my uniforms anywhere else. read more

This cleaners is overpriced , they are not accurate on return time. There has been several occasions where my items were delayed and I paid to much to have them on time. I don't recommend read more

We've been going to Elm Dry Cleaners for the last 3 years and have never had a problem till recently. My husband stopped by as usual to drop off a few dress shirts and jackets that needed to be hemmed and dry cleaned. After putting on the dress shirt, the lady at the front told my husband that his dress shirt looked fine on him and didn't need to be hemmed and was very rude about it. When he went to go put on the dress pants the lady then said rudely, "I don't know how you expect me to hem them properly since you didn't bring dress shoes!" However, my husband has never had to bring his dress shoes for the last 3 years for his pants to get hemmed properly. My husband went ahead and took all his clothes back that needed to be hemmed except for one shirt she was willing to fix. The return ticket she gave us said to pick up the clothes on 9/9, which gave them 9 days to hem and dry clean one dress shirt. My husband stopped by on 9/10 (a day late) to pick them up, in which the same lady said they aren't done yet!! No apology, nothing! She said she would call when the shirt was ready. However, we never received a phone call, so I stopped by myself on 9/12 to try and pick up the dress shirt, which was finally ready. She handed over the one shirt with no apology for being late, no thank you, nothing!! Needless to say we won't be returning. In fact, I found a new dry cleaners yesterday near Raley's in Lincoln, dropped everything off, in which they were very nice and professional, not to mention our clothes will be ready in 3 days!! I truly don't understand what's changed in three years to treat their customers so poorly at Elm Dry Cleaners, but there's no reason to treat others so rudely and disrespectfully. read more

This place shrunk my most expensive pair of pants which were only $150 however they were my favorite pair. They stretch them whatever that means and when I got them home, I realize there's holes in the pockets so whatever they use to stretch them, cause me to have holes in them They did not apologize. They act like it was my fault. I wear the pants only once a month or once every other month, and when I went to go put them on, they're going back to regular size they shrunk my pants and ruined them and did not even offer anything in return read more

Nice, easy, and polite! This is place is an easy small business that always does a good job

They lost my husband's dress shirt. The manager promised to look into it and told me to keep receipts for the replacement shirt. Once he got the receipt, communication dropped off. I have since found out that a number of my neighbors have also had clothing go missing including a sport coat. They have also experienced similar lack of responsibility by management. Their prices seem high for the quality of the work they do and staff members seem to lack knowledge and experience. read more

Horrible! Horrible! Do not go here. Worst service and worst customer service I've ever had. They charged me for a service and did not provide it. This is not a denim button repair. This is a button I could have sewn on myself for free. Refused to remedy this. This is why they make you pay up front, so they can scam you and refuse to make it right. Absolutely worst alterations place I've ever experienced. Will never return. read more

Elm Dry Cleaners - Dry Cleaning Near Me - Lincoln, California

Beware! I took a pair of pants to Elm cleaners to have a hidden zipper replaced with a regular zipper. They asked for payment of $25 in advance. i picked up my pants today and they didn't replace the zipper, the man told me the zipper works fine, there's nothing wrong with it. But, he kept my money! This place is a total rip off!!! read more

I gave this place another try and yet again, they can't keep to their schedules. I dropped it off and was told it would be ready a few days later. They called me and said it wasn't there and not ready. Another day goes by, not ready. Finally able to pickup today. Apparently they don't do actual dry cleaning at this location and take it to another branch they have. I am done with this place and will not be returning. Dry cleaning is too expensive to not have it back timely. read more

The young girl was the rudest screaming at me that I don't understand & got horrible alterations super expensive bad attitude horrible I don't recommend this place! She called her boss & he was very understanding & older lady there is great but I didn't get my clothes redone correctly & she was screaming at me! I told her your not supposed to scream at the paying customer & she charged me rush order & it was not given to me on time!! Total waste of $ and time! I'm extremely hurt & disappointed!!! read more

Alterations done to perfection!! I highly recommend their service!! Raj has great customer service.

Mandeep saved my wedding. Amazing customer service. Long story but I'll keep it short. I was getting dry cleaning done at their Rocklin location during a move back in 2021. I'm getting married soon and i was looking for my suit pants with no luck. I came into the Lincoln location today and asked if I maybe had left them there years ago. After some looking, Mandeep was able to find my suit pants. They kept them there for almost 3 years. Still had them categorized appropriately. Amazing customer service and she really cared. I truly appreciate her for that. read more

Prices and dry cleaning quality are reasonable. Check your receipt, however, I got charged for silk pants that were polyester--difference of $5.00! Also, coat versus suit blazer, make sure you're charged for a blazer and not a coat. Wool vs. polyester coat--just check your receipt--could be a difference of more than $5 bucks! read more

I have lived in Lincoln less than a year. This dry cleaner has been great getting things cleaned in a timely manner, I also have had shirts and pants hemmed here, I'm shorter stature, I cannot recommend Mandeep enough. She takes care of your clothes and gets the alterations done on time and sometimes early! Thank you, Mandeep and Elm Cleaners!! read more

Very friendly staff. I take my shirts and pants here twice a week; they're always on time and my close are cleaned a pressed as expected.

Unfortunately this time will be the last time I get my comforter dry cleaned. I was told it would be ready on a Saturday. Drove back to pick it up on a Wednesday spending my gas and time and energy and was told it wasn't there and would take an extra two days on top of the 4 days...I would have appreciated a phone call so I wouldn't have to make the drive. Now I'm still waiting..no call from the owner like I asked for. I paid $66 dollars up front and would like a discount for the inconvenience. I will not be taking my business here ever again. I would like to say, the front desk worker was extremely nice and helpful. The ownership is out of her control and she handled my problems in a great manner! I appreciate her help. read more

Great service and fantastic quality. Their hours are really good and d the staff are professional

I absolutely do not recommend using Elm Cleaners While dropping off formal wear that my Fiancé and I needed for a function, the staff repeatedly confirmed for me that the articles would be ready by that date. However when I arrived on that date I was told by an employee that my clothing was not ready and that the original employee had promised a date that was not possible. When I asked for a refund due to the clothes not being ready by the employee there told me that she was unable to authorize it and that only the owner was. She then refused to give me an email address or phone number for the owner so I am unable to reach him. Another customer was also in the store complaining about clothes not being ready on time when this was happening. This is a very unprofessional business - I recommend avoiding it and using one of the many other dry cleaning services in Lincoln or Rocklin instead. read more

Never, EVER again. Brought a pair of sweatpants (with zipper side pockets) to them because one of the zippers needed to be repaired or whatever. I was told the zipper needed to be replaced, but since zippers were expensive, was charged $22. I agreed and after about two weeks, returned and picked up the pants. Noted the zipper had not been replaced, only repaired, and that they had put the zipper back together so the slider would connect the elements once again. They had sewn across the tape and elements to create a new bottom stop. No problem as long as it worked (still okay with the $22 repair...I just wanted these pants to function correctly). Got home and found that they had not reconnected part of the fabric surrounding the zipper, so back it went. A week later, picked up the pants and all was well. After about two hours of usage, found that the slider had slid past the bottom stop and the zipper was in the same condition as it was when I had first dropped it off. Went back today, they said that it had been repaired and not replaced, so they wanted to charge me again, $22. I reminded them I had already paid for it, was willing to accept a "repair" instead of a stated "replace" (somewhere in there it appeared that I was paying for a part also, but alas...), however insisted that it would cost me another $22 for them to do anything about it. I once again went over the progression of what happened with the employee, she (allegedly) called the owner(?) and he/she would call me later. Not holding my breath especially looking at all of the one-star reviews (losing another customer...no big deal, right?). To repair this would take all of five minutes. Never again. read more

Zero stars not a choice above! DO NOT USE! We've been waiting for three months to get our very expensive white Duvet cover back. They first told us it was lost, then later told us we had picked it up, however, we were on a cruise at the time they say we picked it up. Owner/manager has not responded to any of our written communications. We go into the facility weekly to check. Thinking small claims court is next. read more

If I could rate this place 0 I would! I took clothes to be cleaned several times over the past few months with no problems, then the problems started. My 1st problem was when I arrived to pick up my 3 dress shirts and the woman couldn't find my shirts. She searched and searched for more than 20 minutes with no luck. I had to finally come behind the counter and find my shirts, which were not together and had no ticket information on them. During this transaction, I brought up my down comforter that I had dropped off which my shirts that was taking a few extra days. I was told that I could pick up the comforter on Wednesday, reconfirming my original pick up day. My wife arrived Wednesday evening and was told the comforter wouldn't arrive until Thursday now. I arrived Thursday morning and still no comforter. The lady at the counter said she couldn't even find a ticket for my comforter. She called the owner at her Auburn location and after 15-20 mins my comforter was found. They then tried to tell me it would be another week to get my comforter cleaned because they only clean comforters on fridays. I obviously demanded my comforter back and I was told I could pick it up the next day. I arrived today to pick up my comforter, which was finally there. This cleaners offers a HUGE risk of losing your clothes and comforters. I will never use them again! read more

Not at all reliable. Clothes were dropped off a week prior to special occasion . Clothes weren't pressed properly requiring a extra week of laundry pressing missing clothes for my special occasion. Inconvenience was not recognized or given a apology to. Do not take your clothes here. read more

Had my daughter's prom dress altered here. They lady who does alterations was very nice and did a good job especially with such a short notice. They do have three different locations and sometimes items get transferred for whatever reason, so just make sure you give them plenty of time and you don't need last minute items. I still gave them 4 stars because they were able to make the situation right and get our dress back to us on time. read more

Avoid at all cost. Caused more stains on my shirts from their dirty equipment, lost a shirt completely and the manager will not reimburse me or return my calls. Suit pants never creased on the same consistent spot. read more

First time coming to this place I'm from out of town I had a wedding to go to on Saturday I needed a dress hemmed an inch my sewing machine broke at home so came in here she said she could do it no problem I told her I needed it by the absolute latest Friday I drop the dress off Monday I never heard from her all week long Friday rolls around and I show up and she is closed early and now I have a wedding to go to tomorrow and no dress and mind you I had to pre-pay. so if you need something reliable I would not trust on this place she obviously is not reliable if she had to close early a courtesy phone call which I left my phone number everything would've been understandable I came here straight after work and now I have to go buy a new outfit to wear to this wedding tomorrow because she told me she would be there and it would be done. She understood the urgency and time frame it's absolutely completely disappointing and insanely unprofessional. read more

I received a very nice white dress shirt back from them a couple of weeks ago that had a burn/scorch mark on the front that became a hole. I took it back and the First Lady flat out denied that their machines would do that. I advised that I took it out of my closet looking like this. I didn't notice before as it was between two other shirts. I further advised that this shirt was way less than a year old and hardly ever worn. She said that she would set it aside and I would hear from their Manager. Well an entries week went by with no phone call. When I went to pick up the three shirts that I did drop off that day; I received my three shirts and then asked a different lady about my ruined shirt. She had no real answer for me. She only said that she did see it hear previously, but did not know where it was at this time. This was about 2:45pm. She advised that Rick, the owner would be in at 4:00pm. I said," can you please have him call me? You have my number." She said, "He will be in at 4:00, he will not call you. I then said, "Fine, I will not be back ever then." They ruined a $40 shirt and offered me nothing. The just lost $75-$100/mo. I only wish I had taken pictures so I could have posted here. read more
