BELOVED STUFFIE REPAIR: Jeanette was so wonderful with my kiddo when we came in hoping to get some help repairing a hole in "Bunny" (aka Floppy, BunBun, B-Boy). He was nervous about leaving his stuffie, but she was so kind and helped set his mind at ease. She promised to take great care, fixed him overnight, and got him back to us the next morning. read more

Told me they don't offer the service I was calling about (which is fine) but then immediately hung up on me while I was in the middle of responding with a follow up question read more

I absolutely hate giving 1 star reviews, but I've been 100% bamboozled by the majority of the positive reviews here. I took my suit in on Saturday for dry cleaning in preparation for an interview. I paid for expedited service and alteration. Picked up the suit on Tuesday and immediately saw glaring issues. The pants waist was ruined with noticeable glue. Overall, the pants and jacket smelled funky and had wrinkles everywhere. The chest pocket also had a button so that caused major wrinkles (no attention to details here). I brought it back in same day to asked about the glue on the pants and whether they had dry clean after alteration because there was a lot of wrinkles. The lady behind the counter said it wasn't her that did the alteration so she doesn't know.. fine.. then she asked if I wanted the pants creased and I said yes. She said she will make a note for the lady working tomorrow since the machine isn't running anymore. Fast forward to tomorrow... the "lady working tomorrow" happened to be the owner. She also did not know why they left the glue behind as she was also NOT the one that had done the alteration.. but she will do what she can to clean and remove it... I had to reschedule my interview since I don't have a suit anymore.. Anyway, came in Friday to pick it up and the Owner said she can't remove the glue and the glue was there due to the shoddy construction of the suit. She also changed her tunes and said she was the one that had opened up the pants and saw all of the glue.. so what is the truth here??? Just the other day the owner claimed it was not her that did the alteration and then now she's saying it was her. If the owner did open up the pants and saw the glue, I'd assume she would know that may cause an issue when dry cleaning or at least fix it. And FYI the pants were sewn... the glue was from the alteration that YOU or "someone other person" did. I tried to be nice and asked only to refund the expedited fee. She refused and said she did gave me the suit on Tuesday... but yeah it was terribly done on Tuesday and I had to bring it back... and it's now Friday.. AND they still didn't fully fixed the issue. She responded with "your interview was rescheduled so it's fine" Well.. I paid for expedited service and I didn't get that??? Really bad experience here. Left with a ruined suit.. no pants creases despite request.. still wrinkles here and there.. never coming back again.. 100% regret. LONG STORY SHORT.. ONLY COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE WHO DO NOT TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY, PERFORM BAD SERVICE, OUTRIGHT LIES, AND CHARGE FOR SERVICES NOT GIVEN. read more

My family & I love Royal Cleaners! They are professional, friendly (very caring to my daughter), they do a great job with our clothes & we talk about life. I enjoy our talks about Warriors, Spurs, etc! I highly recommend them! read more

Awesome service , Can do same service when I need something before had go out it town a

I've been here twice now and both experiences were excellent. The first time, I needed a damaged dress zipper replaced and a dress dry cleaned. Everything was done well, quickly, and at a reasonable price. The second time was a bigger job: I had bought a dress to wear to a black tie wedding that looked pretty nice on me but just not quite right. I asked it it was possible to fit it better to me, taking in two long seams on the lower half. I was a bit nervous because the fabric had a sheen and I imagine was not the easiest to modify. I shouldn't have worried. The work was beautiful and yet again at a very fair price. Moreover, the experience was great. I'd highly recommend Royal Cleaners for any tailoring or dry cleaning need! read more

The best dry cleaner in the area! In addition to dry cleaning, I have had a number of beloved pieces tailored here as well. The service is professional, meticulous and just as important, a feeling of care. and sense of community. I will not take my garments anywhere else! read more

I took my two vintage dresses to be cleaned at Royal Cleaners before I ship them off to be sold. I was impressed by the knowledge Jeanette had with my dresses. She told me a few places where the dresses may get damaged. Of course she did a great job, no damage, but she wanted me to know the possible problems that can happen to vintage clothing. I thought the price to clean was reasonable and Royal Cleaners did a wonderful job. Will use them again in the future. read more

Jeanette is the BEST. I had some major alterations done + some items cleaned, and it was all finished ahead of schedule. My coworkers and I love this place. read more

I brought in a stained white suit I wore for my wedding, and I was amazed that Royal Cleaners were able to get the stains out, especially since it included a mix of things like wine, dirt, makeup, and sweat marks. This is the second time I have used Royal Cleaners (last time they cleaned another suit, cashmere sweater, and a summer dress and returned them looking brand new), and will definitely be back for whatever clothes cleaning needs I have. I also appreciated Janette's friendliness. Thank you for your help! -Nick G read more

Royal Cleaners is awesome! I can't thank them enough for patching and re-stitching my camouflage shorts to make it look and feel brand new. I have used several dry cleaners in Solano County and Marin County, but NOTHING comes remotely close to the service , attention to detail, and overall looking good. It's really hard to find an alternative to clothing you really like without actually getting rid of it. You like the feel, the way it looks, and when you try something new on, it just doesn't fit. I hate to say it, but Marin county being marin county, attempted to re-sew or re-stitch my shorts, but failed miserably with yet another tear! I will be recommending my friends and family to this family owned small business. Besides! support small business in the pandemic right?!? Thanks again Royal Cleaners! read more

I've been going to Fa for 10 years. She's altered 11 suits, several gowns, custom vests, and even formal shirts for me. She has a strong attention to detail, is very professional, and has the work done in a very timely manner. If she ever closes I think I'll be broken without her. Fa is the best seamstress I've ever had and I refuse to use anyone else. read more

Royal Cleaners gets 1 star because they tore my suit in not one but two places. Pictures are attached. These tears were absolutely not there when I turned the suit in; in fact, I'd worn it just once-to my wedding a few months before-and it was in just as good a shape as it was the day I bought it. Maybe you'll have one of the 5-star experiences some have had here. Maybe they'll tear your suit. Don't take the risk. read more

Before i came to Royal Cleaners everybody else told me they couldn't fix my prom dress except this one!! She had great ideas for the dress and fixed my dress perfectly on time!! The sweetest people 10/10 recommend read more

I am so grateful for Jeannette and Royal Cleaners! I only trust her with my clothes. Not only is she careful about my delicates but she is super nice and always asks how I'm doing. I also got a chance to purchase masks (pictured here) that she made herself! Highly recommend :) read more

I brought a wedding gown here for dry cleaning and was satisfied with the result. FYI the wedding gown was relatively clean even before the cleaning; no noticeable stains except for the lace of the train at touched the ground, part of which turned grayish after 1-2 hours of indoor wearing. After the dry cleaning, the grayish lace became decently white again. Customer experience was good. Sally was approachable and efficient. read more

I love this cleaners. I've used this cleaner for several years but i keep going back because of the quality of their service. And the icing on the cake is Jeannette, who is always there with a friendly smile in her face and exceptional customer service.

Most reliable dry cleaners around! Consistently great service and run by lovely people. Highly recommend Royal Cleaners to anyone looking for a business to trust with their most precious garments! Jeannette has been making really nice handmade masks during Covid this year too - I picked a few up the last time I stopped by and they've become my go-to's. read more

I have been brining my clothes here for years! Jeannette is a sweetheart! I can't say enough good things about royal cleaners. I own a lot of silk shirts and I know they're in good hands when I bring them here. Often when you take silk shirts to other dry cleaners the shirts have a little bit of white residue on them afterwards. However my silk tops always look as good as new!! read more

This place is awesome! Jeanette is so friendly and always asks me how work is going. I bring in items I want tailored for me, and Jeanette makes my visions come true; she even made me a mask out of excess fabric from something I needed hemmed. The only place I go to! read more

Jeannette is the most wonderful lady in town, Not only is the service and quality of work impeccable, but the people who run the shop are some of the most kind and friendly. Been coming for years I hate dry cleaning, but it's not so bad because of royal cleaners read more

I cam to Royal Cleaners on an early wednesday morning on a tight deadline. I need a white dress shirt and black dress pants washed, iron, and pressed. The lady at fhe counter was SUPER helpful and got my items done before my job interview @ 3pm. Thanks to her, I got the job!....So grateful for her hardwork. Support small local businesses. I will be a repeat customer in the future. read more

Jeannette made the experience a pleasant one, and the results of her work were par excellence. My hat looks almost like it did when I took it off a rack in Cologne nearly eleven years ago. Thank you so much!!! read more

Royal Cleaners is an excellent family-owned business. I've been a customer for over twenty years and continue to be pleased with my dry cleaning. Jeanette is always very personable and professional! I highly recommend Royal Cleaners! read more

I have only appreciation and admiration for Jeanette at Royal cleaners! It was always my dream to wear my mother's wedding dress at my own wedding. I came to her with my mom's wedding dress from the 1980s and asked her to help me modernize it by taking off the (rather puffy) sleeves and altering the waist. She put so much care and attention into renovating the gown and it turned out absolutely beautiful. Jeanette very innovatively took the large silk bow and turned it into a tie up the back. All her idea. She removed the sleeves so perfectly it looked like the dress had always meant to be sleeveless. She even modified the neckline and worked with the fragile lace to make sure everything laid properly. Jeanette went above and beyond for me -- she even added back in the bustle so I could walk and move in the gown more easily. I was back and forth at Royal's many many times over several months to try on the dress, give Jeanette feedback, check on it, etc. It was a collaborative process and when the dress was basically finished, I cried, and so did Jeanette :) I so appreciated her attention to detail and understanding of the sentimentality of wearing my mother's dress. I highly recommend other brides looking to re-work a vintage dress to go see Jeanette! She will help make your vision a reality. Thank you so much, Jeanette! read more

I needed a dress alteration ASAP and they were the way to go! It fit perfectly after and listened to all my concerns about the dress. Super reliable and great customer service. Will definitely be a returning customer! read more

Excellent service, very timely and always at the highest quality. Seriously - my shirts are always starched to perfection and suits go in dirty and come out spotless. read more

I left my wind breaker to get pockets added since I needed a place to keep my hands warm. I'm glad Jeanette took time to look over my jacket and make sure I really wanted to add pockets since it is a really expensive jacket. She didn't recommend pockets if I wanted to keep the jacket's integrity together, but I was in it for practicality. I just needed a place to keep my hands warm! The pockets look great as they match the aesthetic on the outside and it looks natural. The hours didn't line up with my hours, but I called on the phone and we worked it out without even seeing each other. I'd like to shake her hand for her work, but this is all I can do for now. read more

I have this black pea coat that I've had for years and it got mold on it after being in the closet forever. I was going to throw it away but I brought it here and I got it back like NEW!! Not only that but it was reasonably priced and ready in 2 days! Definitely coming back! read more

They got some red wine stains out of a white top which I have tried several times to remove on my own using various stain removers. Great job, Royal Lady! Prices are slightly higher than some, but not too bad. Parking on the street nearby was no problem read more

I'm sad to give this place a low rating because they seem like good people and clearly have a good history with their clients. Anyways, I brought in a few Of my Bebe leggings (which some are machine wash safe but I wanted them nice and pressed) but the girl up front told me they might not be able to Dry Clean them because of specific material on them. Ive never before gotten denied service because of the type of fabric my clothes are. Yes they warn me of possible damage but still wash them. Second, I took a leather jacket which they told me they couldn't wash for me but that It was safe for me to wash it at home...okay weird but whatever. So dumb me,I followed their advice and my jacket is now completely ruined!!!!! On top of that they only dry cleaned 3 leggings and my total was $35. $10 a piece? That seems rather high for me. Never ever will I go back or recommend this place. read more

Thank you, Royal Cleaners! Not only do they do a great job with dry cleaning, they do excellent tailoring and repair work. I buy a lot of vintage clothing and they have worked miracles on some seriously damaged clothing. Thanks again for the excellent customer service! read more

TAKE IT FROM ME..... The ONLY place to go becuase it has Excellent Service, professionalism, and , courteousne. I just found out they do laundry. I am a very busy person and don't always have time to do my laundry. The Dry Cleaning and Alterations are always perfect. I have never had any problems in 8 years. This place is as good as it gets. Off the chain!!! I love love love the service I get here. They are Fair and Honest. God Bless them and Thank you for being such a great service to the community. The prices are good too. I have no regrets. I travel from 30 minutes to go here because it is a place that is irreplaceable. read more

Royal Cleaners is the best for dry cleaning in the area. I tried various others around the Berkeley, El Cerrito, and Albany. Jeanette (Owner) always takes care of each drop off with her flexible hours. If you are looking to take your dry cleaning to a quality, reliable, personable, and family-owned business, then you have to try Royal Cleaners. read more

Jeanette saved us! We barged through her door at 8am with an emergency: my wife's bridesmaid dress was too long and we were flying out at 1pm for an East Coast wedding!! She quickly put us at ease and called up her seamstress. By 10:20 we received her call that the dress was ready, and the quality of the work was exceptional. What a relief. Thanks Jeannette! read more

The only place I trust with my higher end tops and dresses. Seriously I know that everytime I come here, the service and quality is consistent and to my standards. I found Jeanette's business when I used to work in the area and even though I no longer do, I still go out of my way to come to her shop for cleaning needs. My boyfriend now also insists on taking his shirts all the way here only because of many ruined items at other cleaners. I only trust Jeanette now and will be coming to her place only from here on out! :) read more

We've been coming here for a year since we moved to the neighborhood. We bring shirts, blouses, dresses, etc. They always do a great job and are fast. Thank you Jeannette! read more
