Too bad you can't give negative stars! Worst cleaners I've ever used. I work in Oxford and live an hour away. I had an event to attend on a Saturday night, and wanted to have my winter white coat cleaned in order to wear it to the event. I dropped it off Tuesday morning, and explained that I needed it done by 4:00 Friday (when I leave work). I was told it would most definitely be ready early Friday. I called Friday morning, at first they couldn't find my coat, they put me on hold and then I was told they were starting on it, and that it would be ready by 2:00 PM. At 2:30 I called and was told they had not started the cleaning process, and that it would not be ready until around 5:30. I explained that I had dropped it off Tuesday morning to give them plenty of time for it to be completed by 4:00 Friday. The manager's response-"We've been backed up. It's a dry clean only piece, but we can put it in the washing machine and have it ready by 4:00." Ummmm no. I called other cleaners but at this late in the game there was no way anyone else could have it done in time. Good thing I had a back up. This was my first time and last time using Rainbow Cleaners.

Not long after this review posted the owner called to discuss, but I missed the call. I returned his call. He informed me that I had posted "erroneous information" and asked that I change my review. I informed him I posted exactly what had been relayed to me. He told me that the person I spoke with had only been employed 10 days and never would have said he was a manager, yet when I asked the person if he was the supervisor he said yes. The owner kept insisting that he had not said that. He also informed me that my coat had actually been cleaned twice, and that the employees went above and beyond to get out a stain. They weren't successful and a wet wash would do it, and that is what the new employee was trying to say. Again it was not what was communicated to me. The owner was very hostile, and even said that if I didn't correct the situation he would put the factual basis up himself. I got to the point where I told him that I didn't like being called a liar, and he insisted he wasn't calling me a liar, but that my information wasn't correct. He wanted me to meet the employee I had spoken with so that I could see he was a great young man (I'm very sure he is-he was nice on the phone). I told him that I appreciated the effort on the employees side, and that I agreed that it was a miscommunication and that I would indeed change the review- which is what I'm doing. A friend and coworker had to run an errand so she went to get my coat while she was out. Both the owner and employee came out to meet her. She said that he told her they cleaned the coat twice and that it was filthy and had a hideous stain and in bad shape when I brought it in- not true- I had worn it Monday. Monday night my daughter spilled soda on it, which is why I took it to them Tuesday morning.
The charge for cleaning was $15. She brought me the coat, and said "They didn't clean your coat. Your hair is still on it, and it still smells like your perfume. I've had things cleaned there before and your coat would smell like the cleaning stuff" My final review...... wish I could give negative stars...... the owner was abrasive and treated me, the customer, as if I relayed the misinformation instead of his employee, and the coat looks like it hasn't been cleaned. read more
