I have been taking my dry cleaning here for the past couple of year and have always been happy with their dry cleaning services. It wasn't until recently that I started coming here for alterations, and now they are my go-to place for both!
Dry Cleaning - They are consistently fast and affordable. They have always taken great care of my dry cleaning needs, and even make special effort to get tougher stains out. I have brought many work shirts here that had color stain bleeds from the suits I wear, and they have always been great at spotting them out and making extra effort to get the stains out. My suits are also so clean and nicely pressed when I pick them up, and they are always ready when I need them (whether it be next day or next week service.) They are also very affordable, and it's always "easy in, easy out" when dropping off and picking up my items.
Alterations - This is where I feel that Gateway Cleaners really shine. I work for a lot of high end clients that provide me with some pretty expensive uniforms that I need to have altered to fit me like a glove. I used to go to the lady downtown, but recently that shop has been closed so I decided to take my uniforms to Gateway since I needed major alterations done in very short notice. I received my uniform literally a week before I was to wear it at work, and needed one dress to completely altered a size down to fit me (it had very complex design and construction) as well as two shirts to be taken in on the sides. I needed all this done in less than a week. I came back 2 days before the dress and shirts were done, and brought in an additional pair of pants that needed alterations as well. I picked up everything the morning before I was to leave on this business trip, tried on the dress at Gateway while I was there since it was the hardest piece to alter, and everything fit perfectly! I was so happy that I jumped for joy and hugged the lady that was working there. In less than a week they were able to make my clothes look as though they were custom made just for me, and all the pieces fit me beautifully.
Sherry (the lady who works there) is also great at asking how you would like your clothes to fit you. For example, my suit slacks needed to be hemmed up and she showed me a couple of different lengths that would fit with the heels I was wearing.
Since they are at a very conveniently location, I will continue to bring my clothes here for dry cleaning and alterations. Between me and my husband, and all of our work uniforms, suits and dresses, I have been visiting Gateway Cleaners almost once a week lately for our dry cleaning and alteration needs. The people working there are always so friendly and happy to see us, and I have been more than pleased with their work. read more
