| - I have to say, much respect to this place for turning down my clothes! Let me explain...
I had a dress and top that both had some leather detail that desperately needed some loving in the dry cleaning department. After seeking Yelp for advice, I decided to check this place out (which is now called $2.55 Cleaners).
The customer area is pretty small, about three steps deep after walking through the door, but there were three employee taking and/or returning clothes so the turn around is quick and you don't really have a chance for your claustrophobia to kick in. The first employee to help me, took a quick look at my items with a puzzled face, and said something to a second employee that I couldn't hear, but her response was "check the label". The first employee followed the advice, checked the label, and responded, "dry clean only". I immediately felt relief because I was starting to feel like a weirdo that brought a strange animal to the cleaners. The second employee came over, felt the leather, looked at the label again, felt the leather and then said I should bring these items to a "Full Service" dry cleaners because they had more setting options to allow the fabric to be cleaned without damaging the leather. She also informed me that if I were just to let them clean the items the leather *might* get dried out and cracked. I thanked both the employees for not taking advantage of my naiveness, as well as educating me on the art of dry cleaning and learning why they only charge $2.55. The both laughed and employee #2 suggested a full service cleaners for me a little way down the street.
I will definitely be back when I have the appropriate clothes that need some lovin'!
