Best

I go out of my way to bring my clothing to Alpian's and I am very proud to say, it is worth it!! Alpian's has always offered me world class service, world class quality cleanin...

Worst

Alpian's treats garments very well, but not its customers. Although I have been very happy with the quality of cleaning, I am now so frustrated with the service that I am going to...

love their quality and service 11/10/2008

I have been using Alpians for number of years.Admittedly I spend a lot of monet on my clothes.More than I should.Having said that, it is important to me that my clothes look perfect,and Alpians makes sure that they do.From my hand pressed shirts to my suits everything consistantly comes back perfectly cleaned,pressed and packaged ,presented,and more importantly always on time.I recommend Alpians to everybody.Try them you will love them.Thanks. Pros: perfect more

They save me money and time 11/3/2008

I work with kids,so I get my clothes constantly soiled and dirty.I have to wear decent clothes to work so I have no choice getting paint and crayon marks on my clothes. .Chocolate stains are the biggest problem.When I send my clothes to Alpians I get my clothes back just like new with no stains,rings or residues or smells.What else can I ask for.They are the best of the best.I recommend them to everybody with five stars attached to it.Thanks. Pros: Everything perfect more

they're not consistent 10/7/2008

Sorry, I was really hoping to have found a fail proof dry cleaner to replace my beloved Dunrite - but these guys aren't it. I've taken two light cream colored tops to this establishment (on different occasions), and they've both come back with spot rings...like stain remover solvent rings or something. Both were about 2"" in diameter. It is totally unacceptable for a cleaner, especially one as heralded as this one, to be causing these stains (this is an indication that the specialists are not as specific in removing stains as they should know how to be), and it is completely unacceptable to return the garments to me in this way, and to charge me alot of money too! Do they think I won't see the rings? Did the specialists not see the rings?? Either way, not cool. Where is Dunrite??? more

A Hard to Please Woman is VERY pleased 9/5/2008

I work for People's Revolution, a very prominent PR firm and I am ALWAYS going back and forth from LA to NYC and have NEVER found a cleaner I was happy with in both cities. I am a very hard to please woman so it really didn't surprise me that I found nothing that met my standards. On my red-eye flight from LA to NYC on Sunday night the flight attendant spilled white wine all over my really unique (not to mention expensive) Comme Des Garcons chiffon skirt. I was horrified. When I got to New York on Monday at 6 AM my boss told me to head over to Alpian's. I don't really pack much except for a few black and grey pieces so having this stone grey skirt was mandatory. I went to Alpian's at 7:15 Am and they were open. I was not expecting that they would get it out. I picked up my skirt today and almost fell out of my Jimmy Choos. They got it all out and did it in a fast manner as I requested for an event l have tonight... I was floored! I did pay extra for the service but seriously, it was worth it. Alpian's has this woman as their loyal customer for the future. Pros: Amazing work on getting out my spot and fast service! Cons: Expensive for expedited service more

dry cleaners 8/22/2008

I recently changed dry cleaners. Alpian Garment Care was recommended by a friend. I don't think I will ever leave. I was greeted by a friendly counter person who answered all my questions.. I was still not sold but decided to try them. I have never had my clothes dry cleaned like this before. They all came back cleaned to perfection, pressed to perfection and packed like nothing I have ever experienced at any other cleaners. My clothes looked almost new!!!! The owner is on the premises and is a pleasure to deal with, knows her stuff backwards and forwards. It is such a pleasure to just pick up my cleaning.I got marrried about a year ago and I had an outdoor wedding the bottom of my gown was all black from dirt and had grass stains on it . I had been reluctant to to give my gown to get cleaned thinking no one could clean that mess but decided to let them try. When I got it back ,the gown was like NEW! I highly recommend this super cleaners for their qality and outstanding service. Pros: super friendly and excellent service more

Avoid! 8/18/2008

Avoid like the plague if you own anything of quality. I brought in 2 pair of slacks cleaning and they damaged one pair and over-steamed both pairs. Shiney andfull of impressions from the lining of the pants/pockets. Overall, less than poor quality and $9.35/pair!. They left about 8 distinct toolmarks/impressions on a twill pair , I pointed out and asked them to tell me what had ocurred. They said they would send them back to the plant and find out what happened as well as try and steam out the damaged fibers. I went back 2 days later and they had corrected the shineyness, but there were still some deep impressions on the twill pants and the fibers looked permanently damaged. The manager, a 60-ish angry woman, started-off with the typical ""we didn't cause that damage"" mantra that all guilty cleaners seem to have down pat. This place claims to be ""high quality"" yet they don't even know the difference between quality manufacturing and assembly-line, mass-produced junk. After much arguing and threats by me to tarnish the reputation of their business, she freaks-out and starts calling the police! Then she accuses me of working for a competitor cleaners, threatening her as a woman and a bunch of other paranoid nonsense. I laughed, got a refund for the poor-quality dry cleaning and took my damaged pants ($500 retail -- handmade in Italy) home. Be very wary of this place. They make claims about cleaning specialty, high-end clothing, yet do not know the difference between some made in china garbage and hand-made neopolitan craftsmanship. Please feel free to read the claims on their website--it's a farce. I seriously would have gotten better results if I had had these pants cleaned in Chinatown for $3.75/pair. At least there I wouldn't have received back damaged property and an attitude from a woman who clearly doesn't understand the first stitch about high-end clothing. more

BEST CLEANERS IN THE WORLD!!! 8/11/2008

I recently took my midnight blue satin nicole miller cocktail dress to Alpian's. The dress was covered in various alcoholic beverages all spilled on me by other people. I was so depressed because I know my life's experience with dry cleaners has shown me that dry cleaners can never get out stains on really delicate fabrics. I dropped my dress off and let me tell you, during the 3 weeks I waited until the dress was ready, I prepared myself for the worst. To my utter delight, when I returned to Alpian's to pick up the dress, it was good as new. Absolutely 100% perfect! This dry cleaners is amazing and although most might shutter at the price to clean the dress [$80], it is worth every penny, considering how expensive the dress was to begin with. If you're looking for quality and care for treasured clothing items, Alpian's is truly the only place to trust with your dry cleaning! Pros: High Quality, Care & Excellent Customer Service more

The Boy from Ipanema loves Alpian's! 7/24/2008

My fiance and I , both from Rio in Brazil, were in NYC on vacation for 2 weeks. We were having dinner one night when i spilled chimichurri sauce all over my pair of very expensive dress pants which I bought in Brazil. They also were sentimental to me because I had these pants on when i met my fiance so I call them my lucky pants. To say the least, they were a mess! The Four Seasons concierge recommended Alpian's so I called them and they picked up the pants the next day...fast! So, it did take some time (about a week) which is fine because my pants came out amazing!!!! Ive never seen any cleaner be able to take out a stain completely, without any weird color change- it was a miracle from DEUS!! (God in Portuguese)....Anytime we are back in NYC I will always use Alpian's!! This boy and girl from Ipanema love Alpian's! Pros: Perfect service and Cleaning Cons: May take extra time for something like a spot but it is worth it more

cannot get better than this 7/20/2008

My wife and I are professionals living and working in New york city.We reside on the west side,upper sixties.We switched cleaners about six months ago and now use Alpians exclusivelyfor all our cleaning and laundry needs.Two weeks ago when I returned from a business trip to the west coast,my wife had send all my shirts and suits to Alpians to get cleaned forgetting that I have to leave town again immediately.Needless to say when I came home that evening and realizing that I could not pack my clothes for the next mornings travel I immediately called Alpians.The manager said that all their trucks were done for the day and being around six fourty five in the evening he would call me back right away.Few minutes later they called me back and said that the owner was sending my clothes with a store clerk in a taxicab.My clothes arrived half an hour later.Their quality is superb but service ,cannot get better than this.Thanks Alpians. Pros: service,quality,presentation,price to value more

Best Cleaners in New York! 7/18/2008

I prefer to wear custom made shirts and have always had issues with the cleaners i have used in the past. Upon my move to New York, I found Alpian's on City Search a few weeks ago and will never use another cleaners in the city. If they need extra time to return my shirt in perfect condition they do it-which is the mark of a true professional. You will not find a better cleaner! Pros: Speak English, customer satisfaction, reliable Cons: worth the price more

AVOID 7/16/2008

Not delivered on time. Unreliable service. If you have pants and shirts for instance, they do not arrive back together. I have used them twice now, and I am VERY DISAPPOINTED. If you want your clothes back faster, you should wash them yourself. Don't believe the hype. Big deal if JZ gets his tighty whities washed here. They probably came back a week later. Pros: Erm, a couple of famous people used them Cons: LATE LATE LATE, UNRELIABLE, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE more

$120! Worth Every Penny! 6/23/2008

Everyone thought I was crazy when I dropped $120 on dry cleaning and stain removal for this gorgeous elegant ocean green silk charmeuse gown I bought for my college graduation (mind you I've never been to Alpian's before and I've certainly never spent over $30 on dry cleaning of any kind at any dry cleaner in NYC) but I decided to go on blind faith after reading Alpian's strong and positive reviews. It's very unlike me to splurge on a dress like this, or spend $120 on dry cleaning but ALPIAN'S IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!! I was unaware that there were stains on the dress until my friends pointed them out as we were leaving the catering hall; there were stains all over the back of my dress. I was MORTIFIED when I took it off, only to find large splotches of dark stains that permeated the satin. It seemed like one huge stain that got smudged from sitting in different chairs so now it was ALL OVER the back of my dress. The consistency of the stains resembled semi- wet paint, or a type of lipid possibly grease, and whatever solvent/ harsh chemicals dry cleaners use would surely ruin the satin in the removal process. I was told that due to the delicate fabric, intensity of the solidified stains, and the unknown source of the stains, that there would be some color discoloration and that they could not guarantee successful removal without stripping the satin of its natural sheen and color. It took them 3 weeks to work on it (normally it doesn't take that long, it really depends on the damage) because I told them to take their time since I won't be wearing the dress for a while after this fiasco...and it came back in better condition than when I purchased it at Saks!!! IT WAS PERFECT!!! ALL the stains were removed WITHOUT stripping the satin of its color and sheen! You can tell they put great deal of time, effort and care into it. Alpian's is HANDS DOWN, THE BEST dry cleaners in NYC!!! The staff is friendly, courteous and professional too. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Pros: great stain removal, good customer service, presentation and packaging Cons: takes 1-2 weeks, prices can run pretty high more

not only excellence,but diversity of services 12/18/2007

I have been using Alpians for over a year,and what I find so exceptional is their diversity of serices besides being so good in their quality and services.They have different tiers of shirt services-regular,hand finish,hand press deluxe-different tiers of dry cleaning -regular to deluxe which makes a lot of sense if you have different sets of clothes that you want treated differently.Spot removal and pressing is superb no matter the tier,the only difference is in the packaging and the final touches and the presentation.What a difference in service than other cleaners that I used to patronize.Thanks. Pros: everything perfect more
