Clean Green Cleaners

Tony is awesome, they get things done fast and he is great to deal with. Great local spot, i always go in last minute for things and he always does right by me!

Going for a few years. Nothing ever messed up. Super friendly, always remembers my name, great short convos.

If you need your laundry cleaned or do some alterations to your clothes this is the place to go to! This family owned business is not only professional but also a friendly place! Where you are greeted with a smile!

If you have a nice article of clothing that need alteration, DO NOT bring it here. I brought in a newly bought trench coat that needed the sleeves shortened.
When they handed it back, there were holes in the sleeves, the stitching was extremely crooked, the loops (like belt loops) on the sleeves were reattached at an angle, areas of the fabric were worn down, and there were multiple stitching marks around the sleeve where they had ripped out the thread (see photos posted). I could not believe they handed it back to me in his condition. When I returned to clean green cleaners they told me that details on the sleeve are difficult to alter because they are factory created. That is Not an excuse for creating holes in clothing and extremely sloppy stitching. If that is the case why on earth would they take the job.
I took it to a profession tailor and they could not believe the damage clean green cleaners had done. Apparently if there are details on the sleeve, like buttons, a split seam, etc, the sleeve must be shortened FROM THE SHOULDER so the details remain untouched. After several weeks at the new tailor and $ 155 spent they were able to fix the stitching and hide some of the holes, they did what they could and did a lovely job. However, the damage is still very apparent on the sleeve. There are multiple stitching tracks around the circumference of the sleeve where the thread was ripped out, it’s obvious it has been altered several times. I’ve been told that nothing can be done about it.
On the upside, the owner of clean green cleaners was nice about the situation and did try to fix the horrible job they did, but it seemed to only get worse. I will not be bringing clothing here again.

Excellent service, very consistent quality, great drop-​off spot. The folks are friendly but also respect your time, and they always remember me and the account I work for. Form slightly unusual and costume items, they don’t blink. They just fina great job, and they do it fast. Highly recommended.

I’ve been going to these guys for years! They’re awesome, run by a super lovely family. I highly recommend their stock! Buy, buy, buy if you know what’s good for you!

Family own and operated, Clean Green is a modest operation that exists on it’s reputation and standing in the community. The owner, Tony, is second generation practicing his craft. The guy legitimately cares about your experience because that takes care of his family — ask yourself how many of the other operators have the same interest as you do?
Today, I found myself needing a last-​minute pressing for a last-​minute job interview. My duds needs some professional care, so I called ahead and asked, «Can you fit me in?»
Clean Green’s repsonse was neither, «Of course we can?» nor «Or course not.» They gave me a professional fair shake and said, «When can you come in… Let me check… Alight, I think we can make this work. But come quickly because we don’t have much time.»
And the result was I looked great AND felt that someone had my back.
The prices are fair, the quality is excellent. I trust these guys.

This place is inexpensive, the staff is nice and best of all… they are extremely accommodating! If you ever come in and need something dry cleaned or laundered on the same day, they have always said yes to me:)

Over the last 12 years, I have relied on Green Cleaners for all my dry cleaning. They have provided me with the best service and made me feel like part of their family. I can’t recommend them enough.

This is the most unorganized laundry pick-​up service ever!!!
* They often show up an hour later than promised (once they didn’t show up at all until I called them to remind them I had scheduled a pick up)
* They have repeatedly messed up my order (forgetting to press shirts when requested)
* And today (the last time I will deal with this rude and unreliable service) they lost one of my bags of clothing. When I called Green Cleaners about my missing bag I was repeatedly assured that I had to be mistaken: «You should look again, because I remember putting that bag in your other bigger laundry bag myself. This is ‘very strange,’» said a voice saturated with suspicion. Yes, it was strange indeed. After I insisted that surely I would be able to tell if I was missing a whole bag of clothing I was told that they would investigate and get back to me. Three hours later and no news, so I called again. This time I was told that Green Cleaners had mistaken me for another customer when they had assured me earlier that my missing bag had to be there (even if I had failed to see it). Naively, I was expecting an apology or some acknowledgment that my eyes had been in working order when I «so strangely» failed to see my missing laundry bag. What I got instead was the delightful news that they had found what they thought was my missing laundry bag. The bag in question did not, however, have any clothes in it. This did not seem to worry Green Cleaners to the least. Presumably, the idea was that while I myself was still under the impression that I was missing a bag of clothing, I was in fact simply missing a bag. It didn’t take long to figure out that the bag in question was my bag alright, but it was one that I had used for laundry weeks before (why Green Cleaners had not returned this empty bag to me earlier I am not sure about). Finally, after the manager or owner was mobilized my bag was found in a matter of seconds. It was probably sitting there in plain view all along. If they had «looked again» I might still be their customer…

Amazing dry cleaning! I don’t know how they get my clothes so clean.
Always great customer service. Only disappointed in the tailoring, I had alterations done on synthetic fabric and it came back poorly stitched. But I will still go out of my way to come here for the great dry cleaning.

I’ve been using CGC for about 2 years now, and when you have 3 months of laundry and no desire to walk half a mile with it to the nearest laundromat, these are the best guys to call. Both Tony and Chris (the nighttime guy) are professional and friendly, and have always handled my clothes with the utmost care. It’s not cheaper than doing the laundry yourself, but I feel that the convenience and quality service are well worth it.

I brought a pair of pants to be tailored here (not just a hem, but a complex resizing). I spoke with Tony, who was really helpful and friendly. He got the pants done in two days for a very reasonable price, and they look great. I was able to look nice at the wedding I had to go to. I would DEFINITELY bring anything back here to be tailored and will be bringing dry cleaning as well.

Ok, so I fully realize these are «first world problems,» being unhappy with delivery laundry service. I mean, it really is great to not do my own laundry, especially the big stuff, sheets and towels… And listen, they do an ok job. I don’t send them my special things but the rest comes back clean and folded and all that. Here’s my small gripes that have accumulated over about 8 months of using them:
— laundry often does not come back in 24 hours. I’ve had a 3 day wait before. That’s not ok when I’m out of underwear, or worse, leaving on a trip and need my clothes back. The place I used to go to in Manhattan had a same day turn-​around AM to PM. I’m not asking for that. Just a reliable 24hrs.
— they’ve lost several of my socks.
— they somehow manage to send me other people’s undergarments, on occasion.
— I wish they would press shirts automatically. I have to put a hand written note in the bag every time I send it out, to specify. I know I know, «first world probs,» but maybe they can just put a note on my account that says I always want pressing. Er something? Because if I’m sending my laundry out for someone else to do, it’s safe to say I also don’t want to do ironing myself. I’m more than happy to pay for it.
The owner is very nice on the phone but I just wish they were doing a little bit better job. I’d like to stay a loyal customer, as the other places reviewed on Unilocal look bleak.

This family business has it all, from tailoring to dry cleaning. I have been living in this part of greenpoint for almost 5 years. Its a family business, with a family local feel. I feel confident bringing in my Virgin Wool Suits to dry clean and tailor. In fact I have brought in all my vintage 70’s Barneys and Hickey Freeman suits, scottish wool blazers, wool overcoat, and even italian silk ties to press. I have full confidence that they will always give me personal attention to tailor to my body proportions and clean my delicate items, carefully, properly.
Its a nice touch that everytime I walk by the cleaners on my walk to work, the owners a father and son team smile and waive and say good morning.

This place is my go to! Always super nice and do a great job. $ 1/​pound to wash, dry, and fold clothes is A+ in my book! And the younger dude who works there (and sort of looks like Morrissey) is always super nice and remembers my name. Too bad I can’t do the same…

These guys were very helpful when I had a large quantity of stuff to clean, and really nice and sympathetic to the reason I had for needing it cleaned :) Thanks guys, you’re the best!

The owner is super friendly to talk to, and interesting to hear his experiences of opening at green cleaner. I heard about how dangerous regular dry cleaning chemicals are if you are around clothing that emits vapors on a daily basis (not to mention how much worse to work in the direct factory).
I did both dry cleaning and tailoring here. The tailoring turned out more expensive than I was initially quoted. i mean they aren’t chinatown prices, but $_​$. in the end i am happy with my end result. I had some of the lining of my coat which was falling apart redone.
The dry cleaning was good.
It would be nice if there were some other way that stapling tags onto the pieces though as all dry cleaners tend to do.

We ask the lady in the counter if our cloths could get damaged in dry cleaning process. She answered she could not secure they wouldn’t get damaged. She was right, they messed up my wife’s dresses.
Their «Green» policy is total BS.
Save your money and time

I would not normally be taking time to review dry cleaner, but no joke, this place is one of the top reasons that I miss living in Greenpoint. I moved to Manhattan in spring 2010 after 5 years in Greenpoint and I am seriously tempted to bring clothes here just because the prices are so reasonable and the people are so nice.
First, I love that it’s a family business. Everyone who works there is so nice and they remember their customers. I had them clean some rugs for me and I forgot to pick them up before I moved– months later I came back to get them finally, and the guy working that day remembered me, remembered the rugs, and told me that he missed having me as a customer! So sweet.
Second, the prices are really really good. Yes everything’s more expensive in Manhattan, but my current dry cleaner is literally twice the price of this place. Clean Green will also help with mending clothes, usually at no extra charge. When I had a moth problem once I brought in a few sweaters and they fixed them right up– they looked perfect. And– bonus– they gave me a great tip on how to get rid of moths for good: wipe down your closet shelves with diluted bleach. It worked!
Third, they are green cleaners! And I love green.
