UPDATE: I was initially not thrilled with the lining; however, within a couple hours of posting the review, I was contacted by Opal and they offered to fix the lining. They picked it up the next morning, and dropped it off that evening - everything was perfect! Excellent stitchwork, and excellent customer service.

I've used this place for dry cleaning a few times. They can get the garments back within a day…read more Also, I asked them to add a button to some pants and they did that just fine. They'll text you when your stuff is ready for pickup. My main gripe is that the place seems pricey. I don't know if their prices are the norm for Canberra, but they are definitely higher than what I'm used to in Los Angeles. I didn't try any other dry cleaners, so take that criticism with a grain of salt and do some research. That said, they did a good job cleaning and were fast.

My Fiancé trying to operate her AirBnB uses the Ainslie Laundrette to wash and press sheets. She…read moreloved the quality of the wash and press but i would never recommend this business to anyone. They initially lost the last set of sheets and then discovered someone else weirdly picked up and paid for here linen. One of the staff remembered giving the sheets to someone who was not my fiancé but they took so long to work out what happened that they could no longer check cctv footage. While waiting to get this issue resolved my fiance picked up her dry cleaning and found a pair of pants that were not hers and promptly returned the item. Hopefully the real owner gets that item back. Jennifer the manager has been slow to action or acknowledge the problem basically saying "well someone else has picked it up" and gone back on her word for reimbursement for the lost items. It is truely disappointing the lack of care this business has for other people property and how little they care about there loyal customers. So i would caution any current of future customers from doing business here.

I contacted the dry cleaner they advised me to bring the incorrect item back. Which I did and they advised me they would look into it. They have called me insisting that I brought in the doona that was returned to me. I only own two doonas, both are the same brand - Jaspa Herrington which was purchased at Harvey Norman in 2020. I was advised by the person working at the dry cleaners that it was my fault and I brought in the doona that was returned to me. The brand of doona that was returned to me was Dreamspun. I don't even think this brand was available for purchase in 2020. I would like my doona back or I would like the item replaced because this is not what I brought in to get cleaned, it cost me $750 at the time of purchase. The business is not taking responsibility, and have obviously misplaced my item - potentially giving it to another customer. The business representative was rude and insisted that I have made a mistake.
