Thrifty Cleaners

I am embarrassed to admit that I've taken the reliability and polite service I've gotten from Thrifty 'Cleaner's staff for granted. Their prices are half of what any other dry cleaner charges, and their quality is consistently good. It is also ready when they say it is and they have rushed it when I've been in a bind. If great prices, good service and pleasant people never made me really appreciate them, what happened next made me feel guilty for taking such nice people for granted the past few years. If you are like me, you will complain when things to wrong, but seldom notice when things run smoothly. Our son had just gotten married and I volunteered to take their clothes along with ours to get it dry cleaned . While I was at Thrifty Cleaner's counter my cell phone rang. My husband had been taken by ambulance to Cedars Sinai. I rushed out in tears. Mr. Khalili, the owner, was kind enough to call my home that evening to check if I was O.K. and to check on my husband's condition. He was very kind and not at all intrusive. I was impressed by his compassion The following afternoon Mr. Khalili came to the hospital to visit my husband. He brought with him two items. A lovely plant and what he found in the pocked of a tuxedo I had dropped off the previous day. He had come to return my husband's 18K gold money clip holding $900 . What becomes even more amazing is that he emphatically turned down a $200 tip! Businesses like this deserve a long overdue THANK YOU for all the years of great service and outstanding integrity. more

I've been going to Thrifty Cleaners every week for a year and they are still my favorite. I no longer live in that neighborhood but I still drive by there to drop off my laundry because no one else can come close to their price (the cleaner by my house costs 3X as much for Wash & Fold service). I've rarely had any issues and have nothing but positive things to say about them! more

I tried this cleaners several years ago, but my pants came back with several stains still on them. They ran them through again and got them out the second time. A lot of effort (driving) on my part due to their mistake. Tried them again recently, with five or six pieces. They missed several fairly obvious stains (that had even been marked with tape!), but I honestly do not know if the stains were not removed because I let them sit on the fabric for too long or just what. Entirely possible. The press job on the blouses was uniformly awful (pants were pressed okay). One cotton blouse looked like someone had slept in it when I got it back. I wasn't interested in running back and forth to get everything right, so I won't be using them again. Their prices are reasonable though and service has always been friendly. more

A friend of mine referred me to this dry cleaners, and I've been using them for the past year. My clothes are always ready when promised (and properly cleaned), and I have always received friendly service. The few times I have asked for buttons to be sewed back on to my pants pockets, they were indeed properly sewn on when I picked them up. Pros: Reliable, Friendly more
