    CUSTOMERS BEWARE! Soma cleaners destroyed the leather on a trench I had dry cleaned (see pictures) the leather was torn along the collar, and the belt, which is also made of leather, had holes throughout after the dry cleaning. The manager refused to provide any kind of apology or take any responsibility- instead she demanded that I pay full price. To the horror of other customers in the store, she started yelling at me when I complained about the tears in my coat. Needless to say, I will never return.

    Horrible customer service!

    I had been searching for a cleaners in Oakland, after having some pretty costly bills when going to…read moreMartinizing in Alameda. I came across Ideal Cleaners and read so many great reviews. The neon sign of the location really adds a nostalgic, classic appeal. I had one pair of vintage Levi's cleaned after having acquired them on the resale market, and had challenges with getting them cleaned and thoroughly deodorized; even after three wash cycles, an overnight distilled white vinegar soak, and a direct sunlight air dry. After all that didn't work, I decided to bring my denim to Ideal for a final attempt. I dropped off on Wednesday and asked for Friday pick-up which the owner said was possible. I called on Thursday to see if an earlier pick-up was possible, and provided my ticket number to which I got a call back after checking on my piece. I was told that Friday morning would allow for service completion- which was fine. I picked the denim up first thing on Friday morning, and the scent I was trying to get out is completely gone. The quick turn around, friendly service and supporting a local business, Ideal is a great choice. For my one pair of denim, I paid $8. This is more than reasonable. Great service, quick turn around and much better than other cleaners. I will be going to Ideal for my pieces, and am interested in having a cleaning done on bigger pieces I have. Suggesting for anyone looking for a good cleaner to try Ideal. To note, with current construction in downtown Oakland, getting there is tougher than usual. And for new customers, push the door hard, it felt like it wasn't unlocked when I first came in. ahah

The people that own it are an absolute delight to work with and they can turn your clothes around quickly when you need them to. I've used them for everything from shirt laundry, dry cleaning, alterations and repairs and they always deliver to a very high standard. The one time they didn't get it right first time it was no big deal and they turned it around immediately with no additional charge. They are also very good at managing expectations. I took in a jacket that had a bunch of stains in it and they said it might not come out, but they managed to get 95% of the stains out. I love supporting small businesses when I can and Berkland is a great example of a local business that gets it very right, all the time.

I had two dresses I needed work on: one being a wedding dress and another a dinner reception dress. For the wedding dress, all I needed was an inch hemmed from the front, the back length was completely fine. Second dress I needed altered and taken in at the armpits. She said it was easy and no problem. When I came back to pick up my dresses, she hung them up on the hook up front and I went to open the zipper of the garment bag to look at them, she insisted that everything was there and rushed me out saying that I could come back if there are any issues. Because of the great reviews I didn't think anything of it, but now I'm kicking myself for not checking then and there. I went home and checked and the reception dress was fine. There was some loose thread where they took it in but I can cut that excess thread, and some dark spots which can be easily wiped off using a tide pen, but the wedding dress had pulled thread in two areas on the front. I brought it back and she said they'd fix it. When I went back, she showed the dress and it was not fixed. I pointed it out to her again and she said that was already there, I brought the dress in that condition, the dress is cheap fabric and that they were trying to be nice in helping to fix what I had done. When I told her it wasn't already there when I brought it in, she said I must have done it when I took it home and they are not responsible for that. She refused to refund me. The positive is that it's not that noticeable and it wasn't an expensive dress, but there clearly wasn't any care when working on this dress due to it being "cheap" and the fact that they didn't want to take responsibility for what they did is so terrible. Learn from my mistake - take videos of what you're bringing in so that there's no question of whether they damaged your clothes.

The next size down was $6.50 it was a newer machine.. So washing was on the cheaper side. The older machine definitely doesn't wash good. The dryers is what they get you on. I had one on the hot setting and it didn't get hot. 1 quarter get you three minutes 2 quarters gets you 5 min ( makes no sense it should be 6 min ) normally I would only spend $1.50 max drying but here I had to spend around $3.00 I hope this place fixes things because it's real convenient as I live nearby
