On arrival, one of the dresses was dropped on the floor by the shop assistant. When prompted that it was on the floor he said “I know. It will be fine”.
On collection, both the dresses and the suit were packaged in plastic. When we got them home 10 minutes later, we immediately noticed all the items smelt really unpleasant. They didn’t smell fresh or clean but rather like farm yards and dirty socks. The fabric of one of the dresses had been damaged all across the dress, looking so thin in parts that it could fray into holes.
I returned to the dry cleaner with the items. I asked the shopkeeper for an explanation and refund. He insisted on smelling the dresses and wiped his dirty nose across one of them. He admitted the items smelt “damp” but tried to accuse me of causing this. He told me to smell other peoples’ clothes, which I felt was most unprofessional and unhygienic. He refused to accept any liability for the state of my clothes or to provide any explanation. He just continued to accuse me of the smell being my fault. He then got angry when I said the item was damaged. He told me I couldn’t make two complaints and that he “knew my tactics”. He accused me of “blackmail” when all I wanted was to have my items of clothing professionally cleaned.
I left feeling very upset and with no resolution or explanation for what happened to my clothes, and no refund.
I wouldn’t leave any items of clothing that you care about with this dry cleaner. I probably would have been better to try washing my items myself at home, as they are now completely unwearable.
I will be raising my complaint with the citizens advice bureau/ relevant ombudsman, due to lack of resolution with the shop itself.
EXCELLENT ALTERATIONS TOO.
SUPPORT YOUR LICAL
