Best Price Cleaners are very cheap and promise same day or next day service. You can get men’s shirts cleaned for $.99 and almost any other garment for $1.50. They even have coupons that allow you to get the 6th garment cleaned free with no limit.
I am embarrassed to say I have had a few bad experiences with them, however I kept going back because it was cheap and I believed it wouldn’t happen again. My last experience will be just that, my last. I brought in 42 garments to be cleaned with a coupon and the lady at the counter actually had trouble counting. She tried to only give me 4 garments free and ended up having to consult others in the back to determine what 42 divided by 6 was. Also, the business isn’t air conditioned so everyone, employees and customers, are sweating profusely during this.
Skipping ahead, the heat got to me and I agreed to 5 garments free just to get back to my air conditioned car. I was told to pick my garments up the next day after 5:30. I arrived the next day to find half of my garments were missing. It took nearly half the store to hunt them down. Remember, the temperature inside is unbearable. After a 30- minute search, I was told 2 of my shirts were stained yellow with starch and to pick them up tomorrow. So much for next day guarantees! At least they actually told me they over-starched my shirts this time. On my last visit I noticed some pants I took in had a large starch stain at home. Of course, if you don’t notice this in the store you are basically out of luck.
