After spending a good deal of time researching a dry cleaner that I could trust with some very sentimental pieces, I settled on this one.
When I went in to pick up my dry cleaning, another customer walked in and asked if they could go ahead of me because they only had one item. After I politely declined the customer became abusive - shouting, swearing and calling me a 'dirty lesbian' who had to 'get the germs out, no wonder I was at the dry cleaner'. She used several pejoratives and said that I didn't deserve to be living and that I was going to hell. She then continued loudly on the phone to a friend, shouting about me and using homophobic abusive speech.
Instead of asking the customer to leave the shop, staff at Drycleanco just stood there and allowed it to happen while I (another customer, who was actually spending far more money than she was as I had several items including alterations) had no choice but to be listen to this disgusting abuse as they rung through my order while the other customer continued to shout homophobic hate speech at me. It was hurtful, shocking and absolutely disgusting that staff would allow this to happen in their business.
Furthermore, not all my dry cleaning was even completed for the date they said it would be and they didn't even get the stain out of my trousers.
At the same time I had another pair of curtains shortened. They came back too short and when I started to undo them, they had been sewn so tight that the loosely woven fabric was damaged by the unpicking, inappropriate thread and over zealous hemming.
Beware!! Do not use this over priced place whose website promises so much and whose service is truly terrible.
Had a jacket stitched up and it ripped again in the same place a few days later. Poor quality work. Bad customer service recieved when I complained.
