Great for dress shirts and pants... But be warned; they will shrink your wool sweaters!! I have been a patron of Shoreline Cleaners for 6 months, and have decided to go back to my old dry cleaner. Here's my story...
I began by taking in my fiance's dress shirts and pants (most all of them Banana Republic) to "test" the waters before taking in my precious Banana Republic, J Crew, and Ann Taylor wardrobe. The dress shirts and pants were very well done. Just enough starch; pressed nicely.
I then took in my dress pants and suits. They did a great job. The only annoyance is the safety pin with the yellow tag that they put on every. single. item. of. clothing... I will need to google "things to do with safety pins" to figure out what to do with the stockpile I have amassed.
I decided to bring in my arsenal of merino wool and cashmere sweaters; just in time for the colder winter months. I had recently realized that Shoreline accepted competitor coupons, so the savings blinded me from testing out just 1-2 sweaters.... looking back, the amount of money lost from the shrunken sweaters doesn't compare with the discount I received.
NINE wool sweaters were shrunken. I realized this the next morning when I prepared for work and when I put the sweater over my head, I could barely pull it on, let alone fit my arms in the arm holes (you all know this scenario). I tried on a second, then a third, and came to the horrifying conclusion that I will need to lose 10 pounds (New Year's Resolution, anyone?) in order to fit in them again.
While I agree with the other reviewer (Jarrett) that the customer service is stellar, speed is fast, and price reasonable, these qualities don't make up for the poor treatment of my precious wool sweaters. read more
