My aunt and mom have been going to Lan at Mart Cleaners for years. When my husband needed clothing dry cleaned, she came highly recommended. After his great experiences with Mart Cleaners, I finally came around to Lan as my go-to for dry cleaning AND alterations. Word has got around and now my sister and brother-in-law go to Mart Cleaners! Lan is a very sweet, hardworking small business owner with an impressive memory. She always remembers what clothes I'm picking up, and she'll remember personal tidbits like vacation stories if you take the time to chat with her. I also find her prices very reasonable. read more

She's amazing and kind. My dad and I been going to her for decades and she always thinks for him even after he passed. She's thoughtful and is a tailor too. read more

What could improve? Lan's (the owner) mannerism. I wouldnt share much info with her as she tries to make small talk. I shared a bit about my family as she was curious. There's a language barrier because she was talking in Vietnamese. She asked me if I understood, I said no. She then said in Vietnamese "OMG KILL ME..GO BACK TO KINDERGARTEN." Good job for losing a customer. She also talks a lot. Just walk away if you need to go, she may not hear you if you say bye or that you need to go read more

Best prices. Nicest owner Been dropping off all my suits and work clothes for 10 years here after recommendations from colleagues. read more

I've been coming here for years and am so torn on leaving this review. Was also shocked I haven't previously left a review before. Dry cleaning here is good, service is friendly almost treats you like an extended family member. Prices are approximately $7 for a light cardigan/coverall. $9 for a jacket. I brought a black top in to have a fix job done on my sleeve and I posted a pic of the job - was a little disappointed as I think I could have done a better job at home but what tugs at me to leave this review is my top came back with a completely different issue with what seems like a stitch job accident to the front of my blouse. As much as I like the service and convenience being close to home..I highly suggest only bringing items you want dry cleaned and not for anything else. read more

5 star experience at Mart Cleaners and alterations. Lan was able to get my suit altered for me within 3 days for a very important job interview I had out of state. She was super nice and professional and made my suit look great with plenty of time to spare. Prices are super fair and I felt like a got a great value for the alteration and having my suit dry cleaned. Will definitely be returning for all my drycleaning and alteration needs! read more

Great people and service they were able to clean a wine stain off an expensive dress. Would return again.

First time I've came and it will be the last. The owner gave us eight wrong items of clothing, and when confronted, she stated "I have been running this business for six years, and I have never made a mistake like this. You are wrong." Everyone please take your money somewhere else. read more

I dry clean my suits and no complaints. I trust them with my suits. The price is very reasonable as well.

1 star is being nice. They bleached a brand new Balenciaga shirt and ruined a sew job! We tried several attempts to have them resolve the issue or compensate for the damage and they refused each time! They also said they didn't have insurance to cover it. Each time we went in we were told a different excuse. They were extremely rude, no customer service and no resolution given. Very disappointing as we have been repeat customers for years. Highly suggest not bringing in your clothes to get cleaned or altered cause it will be picked up worse than how you brought it in. read more

Used Mart Cleaners for about a year. Recently the clothes come back with stains. When I told the owner about it, she asked me to not bring my clothes anymore. She fired me as a customer, wow! The most rude experience I have ever had read more

Lan does great work for the price and is the sweetest woman. My boss needed three very soiled, designer purses cleaned. I called around and many places offer no such service. Will recommend to others for similar services. Give her your business, she will not disappoint! read more

Deeply disappointed by not only the attitude of that lady (Name may be Lan) not sure though but also the way she presents herself with not only me but with her several other clients. Not even 1 star I used to go there for getting sewing and tailoring services until about 2 weeks back till this sudden goof up happened and she suddenly started behaving so obnoxiously rude wth me and was shouting in such a nasty manner in front of my toddler. Heights of her audacity!. Earlier the lady (store owner) who all the time sits at the store used to used to provide all the sewing services as per my request with courtesy and civility and the actual tailor who actual sews ( a lady named Yen) did the work ensuring quality and timelessness wich was for the 1st 3 months (hardly only but after that one fine day suddenly whn I just messaged her to that I will come to her store and collect my dress since it was ready, she started name calling me as to how crazy I am and that I think as if am the only client. I cud not make out any head or tail of wat for she was shouting at ,me for but she continued saying that how dare I text her before coming where as few weeks back before my coming in for my dress collection she herself asked me to message her and then come by to collect it. Whn I started protesting at that and asked her not to shout at me in front of my child then she threatened me to call other people frm the neighborhood so that they can force me to give into her terms. Gosh!! I haven't seen any business (personnel) behaving in such a dangerously threatening manner to a client that also regular ( but irrespective of that). Whn I in order to maintain my dignity just kept silent and was planning on just collecting my dresses and go away frm there then she started speaking ill abt me to her clients who came for their services. Doesn't she knw that as per CA state laws even if wat ever issues u have with ur clients u cant spks ill abt one clients to other clients. I have heard tons of reviews frm various other clients that she suddenly has outbursts and starts behaving extremely obnoxious toxic and rude for almost no rhyme or reason. So guys pls beware. If possible most of u shud find other alternatives and shud limit or stop goin there altogether. Not saying it out spite or vengeance but whn I was just keeping quite and asked her not to behave so rude to me jst to inflate her ego and that if she continues with her attitude she will loose many of her clients and have her business downfalls To that u all wont believe it, wat she said , peak of her audacity! She said that there isnt any need to bother abt her business cos there are loads of her clients frm her community / nationality who will keep/ continue to come to her to giv her business nd support her therefore she doesn't bother abt other clients frm other communities whether or not they come or not. Dont u all think that this is like open nepotism!. Who knows may be thats why I being frm another community altogether she made sure to throw such obnoxious attitude towards me and in rt in front of me I have seen her discriminating among clients community wise and doing favouritism to her clients frm her community. Believe me, I didn't even mind at that nether did raise any concern re that but wats all this nonsense re name calling me suddenly jst cos I messaged her before my comin in to the store? On top of it whn I tried to contact her back as the dress wich the tailor had made tore at 2 places rt after my 1st wear. Whn I appealed to her to kindly do the rectifications as a last and then I will discontinue coming there then she directly refused to do so and hung up on my face!. have attached the pic of the torn dress. Its very well understood that I will have to bear the loss of repairs. Unfair rt? Not only that, one of my dresses wich I had given for alteration , I paid her for the alteration services but after I tried on that dress I realized that no alteration has been made on the dress, no work watsoever has been done on the dress but I was charged a good amount for that. Whn I asked her fr refund she again nastily rudely hung up on my face. Is this the way u deal with clients? Wud NOT at all recommend this plc. Out of the blue/ out of no where this store lady starts acting like a maniac and starts name calling and also insults in front of other clients. Sorry, don't at all mean to be rude or a nagging soul but hav hardly ever seen such an obnoxious behavior frm a service provider. read more

My fiance's father took my fiance's collar shirts and suit pants out to dry clean, and one of his fitted Express shirts was ripped from the shoulder down to about half the arm length in the process of them doing the dry clean. My fiance has only worn the shirt less than 5 times on special occasions such as for interviews. They kept the ripped shirt and gave my fiance's father $30 for deatroying the shirt. The shirt costed $69.90 before tax. We understand that accidents happen, but when it is their fault they should be refunding the amount it costed us to rebuy the shirt, especially when the shirt is new. So if you bring more expensive clothing here for dry clean, beware of this. If they have ripped his pants, that would have been $200 down the drain instead. read more

A consistent and affordable cleaner, Mart Cleaners is what many could ever ask for from their local shops. The owner is extremely kind and accommodating, enough so that you have to be careful not to lose too much time in conversation. Come here and come often, you won't (can't) be disappointed. Cheers. read more

Do you care if a business is open when they say they're open? Do you care if your clothes come back undamaged? If so, don't go here. I came at 8:30 am needing to pick up some dry cleaning before the husband and I left for a 3 week trip to asia (it was literally, the morning of our flight). I didn't want to leave clothes at they dry cleaners for so long and we needed some of those clothes for the trip. It's 8:30am, the sign SAYS they're open at 8am and there's no one in sight. Imagine my frustration, our flight leaves at 1pm from SFO and I need the clothes that is in their shop. CRAP. I know I know... maybe this is what we get for procrastinating but I mean, they say they'd be open! I come back in 45 minutes and the woman (perhaps owner?) is there. She's apologetic, it turns out her son has school on Wednesdays so that's why she opens the store late on Wednesday. I'm thinking, ok, if this happens EVERY Wednesday - why don't you change the hours on your sign? It could have saved me a useless trip + stress. Anyways,no big deal. She had my clothes. I didn't miss my flight. However, they've ruined one of my silk shirts. It's weird looking - almost like it has white deodorant streaks all over it (and I promise it's not my deodorant) that doesn't go away. I don't know what they did to it... it looks like the result of crumpling my shirt it into a ball, dipping it into a bucket of water and then dry cleaning it? Stay away. read more

THIS PLACE IS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT, thank god! I came in here recently and was greeted with a smile and friendly staff. I was in and out within a minute. Since the management change, service has been faster and more reliable. Bring in my work clothes and pick them up nice and crisp like clockwork. Very consistent and close to work also! Would definitely recommend. read more

They returned the clothes with satins and they dyed my clothes. However the owner was very rude and didn't admit the fact, ignoring their fault! She even started to argue with me before I said anything! Terrible experience! Never recommend this place! read more

Dry cleaning is well done and reasonably priced. Lan is very nice to work with and understands details of what is needed. I also brought a large amount of items to be altered and their seamstress is skilled. One of the pieces I had her alter was a fully lined dress with segments at sleeves and waist. Great job on all pieces and again, reasonably priced. read more

I am more than happy to raise the average for this place. I've never had any problems in the 3-4 years that I've been going here. The staff is friendly and has made it a point to remember me when I come in. The prices sure as hell can't be beat, either. Everything I've ever picked up has been ready on time -- even when I've requested early pickup. They've even stayed open late on a Saturday because I called ahead and begged them to let me in. Only a handful of items have come back less than perfect and each time they've let me know what went wrong -- way better than most other cleaners. Good people, good prices, and perfect location. Love. read more

Lan is very kind and great to work with Mart cleaners does laundry service for our clinic across the street, every week she picks up our laundry, cleans it, and delivers it back the next day. She is a real life saver for us! Give this place a chance if you're looking for dry cleaners near by! read more

Great dry cleaner. I totally trust my clothes with Lan. Next day service is a life saver! Im so happy she took over and turned this place around. Cant recommend Marts Cleaners enough read more

This place is in the cut. The woman was super nice and quick. She had my fiancé's overalls hemmed, dry cleaned and ready in 2 days. I honestly have no complains. I would definitely use their services again! Great customer service. read more

Came here because my friends button fell off and we didn't want to buy a sewing kit. The lady was super nice and helped us right away. We were in and out in less than 5 minutes and when we tried to pay her she said our friendship is enough. So here I am writing them a 5 star review!! read more

Came here for my first time and Lan was very nice. I brought her four jerseys to dry clean and the price was great. Like another reviewer said, she's very friendly and next thing I knew, we were chatting for 20 minutes. Turnaround was the next day - very fast. read more

I just wanna update my review for my most recent hemming/alteration. It's so nice how the woman who runs the place recognizes me and talks to me like I'm her friend which is so pleasant. I had a pair of shorts that I needed to hem and I had them folded up and taped down with fabric tape and i thought they were going to be returned to me the exact same way just with stitching. But they definitely exceeded my expectations and trimmed down the shorts and did a really nice and clean hem just the way I wanted it and more. I forgot to grab cash on my way in otherwise I have to pay the $10 minimum purchase for card. I told her whatever just charge me $10 but she charged me the original price which is wonderful!!! We were chatting it up and having a great time. I finally left the store and the men next door caught my attention on the way out were talking to me about job offers and random things which made me a little uncomfortable. The woman who runs the dry cleaners comes outside and tells me things like "If you ever need anything else done come back" but I think she as really just trying to get those men to stop talking to me. I'll never know but either way she's a wonderful woman, love her and will go back not only for the amazing service but the good job they do on all my alterations! read more

It's a shame that the reviews mostly reflect the older management because this place has taken a turn for the better. The customer service has improved, prices are competitive and the owner has a genuine passion for customers. read more

This place is horrible. The first time I came to get a duvet cover cleaned, but when I took it home and opened it up there were some stains on there that WERE NOT THERE BEFORE. I have no idea what happened. But since the place is very close to where I live I decided to give them another shot. The 2nd time I brought clothes in it was a few dress shirts. I got them back to find that one of them had CRACKED BUTTONS. I would go back and demand a refund but judging from how rude the lady working there is I decided to just save myself the trouble and go somewhere else. Forget this place. read more

I had been going here for about 2 years and didn't have too many problems, until recently, I started getting my shirts back with cracked/broken buttons. The prices here are reasonable, but I can't afford to keep losing buttons on my shirts, and when I told them about it, they can only replace with whatever buttons they have on hand, which aren't likely to match what you lost. So I've gone elsewhere. read more

The service is just awful, no cleaning has been done. If you mentioned any damage or fault, they immediately point out that its cheap and that you get what you paid for.I dont recall paying for having my clothing destroyed and neglected. They have an attitude all the time and are terribly rude. I will strongly recommend going somewhere else. read more

This place is perfectly fine for what it does. Yes, I've had some of the same problems others have noted with shirts occasionally coming back with cracked buttons, but it's cheap, it's prompt and the people who work here are lovely. read more

We moved in the area recently and needed a new place that won't kill our budget. We've been returning customers here for 2 months now. I don't know why the reviews are so low, but the woman that works in the front is the same that does the dry cleaning. She's so sweet! She's a bit talkative , but I enjoy talking to her. My fiancé clothes is return the way it's supposed to be and its fast service. Always ready between 4-5 days. read more

I always come to this place every time I am in town to see my family. They are very accommodating and that is a must for me. My husband is very picky with his creases on his pants so I'm very pleased that I found them. Staff is very friendly and can't beat the price! I will keep coming back to this place bc I trust them with my clothes. read more

Can't beat the price here! The turn around is pretty quick when I brought in my dresses and pants. The owner is very sweet and friendly. Will definitely come back here again! read more

Bad service slow and dont speak english well and dont answer phone. They even hung up on me. Brutal

Just walked out from the store, being blamed for picky and difficult. The worst customer service, ever. You might made a mistake not cleaning the garment properly, but scolding back at the client who tries to correct the mistake?! She has no sense of service mind. The business will not last long for sure. Very disappointed. read more

Needed to get buttons on the sleeves of my choir robe fixed. The lady here was kind, helpful and did quality work. This will my new alteration spot to go to. Highly, highly recommed this place! read more

I've been going to this cleaners for the past 3 or 4 years, ever since the Dalia's Cleaners folded. At first it was fine, but I've recently had problems with cleaning not being ready when promised, fumbled alterations (pants taken up an inch instead of being lengthened an inch), and shirts coming back "pre wrinkled". Time for me to move on. read more

I went here recently because it was in a convenient area, and I was short on time. I was greeted by a friendly women who asked me if I wanted my shirts starched and my pants creased. I picked none for both options. I was never asked that in other cleaners. Their turnaround time was a bit long but they were wiling to clean my clothes in a shorter period because I had a interview in a couple days. When I came in the day I asked to pick up my dry cleaning, they were ready! I'm really happy with the service I got.I was expecting the price to be high but I was charged lower than expected. Prices are very decent! Ex-Mart Cleaners customers please come back to Mart Cleaners. I believed they have improved because, I received the best service. read more

If you are still finding a cleaning place which has cheap prices and excellent services, this is the one for you to try. Every one is now just crazy because of the inflation and smaller paycheck, but there is good feeling here: $1.15 for a shirt and $2.95 for most of drycleaning items. It also has a super fast service without any extra charges. read more
