Smart-N-Cleaners

I have been going to this dry cleaners for over a year now and I’ve always gotten excellent service and my clothes come out clean and pressed. Overall I am very satisfied.

I have been going to smart-​n-​cleaners for years. I love this place! My clothes are always delivered on time and in perfect condition. She also does amazing alterations as well. I have had her hem many of my clothes. The owner takes pride in her work and customer satisfaction. She is such a nice lady too!

I have been coming here every other week for more than 2 years now. This is the best dry clean in the area and the owner tries really hard to do the best job and to please everyone.
I bring about 10 button down shirts in every 2 weeks and the shirts always come back flawless and they actually press and check each shirt before they bag it up for the customer.
This place has quality work and quality service!!!

Brought in 2 pairs of slacks and a blouse. The price was a bit high at about $ 25. I can find a cheaper place for same service.

Excellent job on the dry cleaning. I was a little apprehensive walking in becuase of her two little dogs (dogs + dry clean? But I think those dogs are those breeds with hair, not fur, but regardless…). But my three suit jackets and silk shirt turned out IMPECCABLE. I was very pleased. She even got some difficult to remove stains out of both my silk and a light tweed jacket. She said she had to send it back once for the jacket, when she noticed it was not fully spot cleaned.

I took a very expensive full length satin skirt here to have it hemmed based on the number of great reviews they received. I have a party in a week and my skirt is ruined. The hem is 1″-2″ shorter on the left side and the seams don’t even match up! How do you not notice the hem is 1 ½″ shorter on one side of the seam?! Unfortunately, I picked it up when they were closing and didn’t take the time to look at it, so now I will have to return tomorrow morning to request a refund because $ 60 is not even remotely acceptable for the horrible work that was done on this skirt. I understand this was not a standard hem and needed extra time and work to do it properly, but one side is perfect and the other looks like she closed her eyes to do it. How can they just ignore that and not fix it?! Very unprofessional and just not acceptable. Because this type of skirt needs a small hem, I am not even sure it can be fixed as they cut off too much material. I am very disappointed. This was a special order skirt and I cannot replace it before the party.
I should have left before she helped me when I saw her put someone else’s dry cleaning on the floor and then her dog came over, scratched on it and then laid down on it. I thought to myself that I was glad I wasn’t having my skirt dry cleaned. I should have known better. I will never come here again and I will advise everyone I know not to come here.

This shop is a throw back to how businesses used to run and how they should be run! Open early, reasonable prices, great quality and outstanding customer service! Definite 5 Star***** business. If it’s good enough for the Governor than it’s good enough for me, «I’ll Be Back»…

I got a little too buzzed on my birthday and spilled cranberry juice all over my brand new light blue collared shirt. Because of the great review, I took it to get it cleaned at this spot.
I walked in and an older Asian lady seemed to be sewing some clothing. She greets me with a warm smile. i show her the damage done to my shirt and she tells me she will try her best to get it out but it’s not guaranteed. I was okay with that knowing how tough it is to get juice stains out. She gives me a ticket and i was on my way.
I come back on the day she told me it would be done. Great news! She said she got all the stains out. My shirt was cleaned, ironed and covered n plasitc. Looked like a brand new shirt! There was .50 cent debit card charge if you pay under 10 dollar. I didn’t care because i was so happy from the results of the cleaning.
Great service, reasonable pricing, and prompt timing. I highly recommend this place.

When one misses a person because one doesn’t need the person’s service as much, you know that person has moved from just being someone one does business with, but to a genuine friend. When my husband retired from work, I knew I wouldn’t be seeing Mrs. Kim as much because I don’t bring his shirts and pants to be cleaned as often, so the few times that I do see her, I try and visit with her for a while. Of course it helps that I am a dog lover myself, and her dogs are so cute.
But let me tell you about the difficult stuff she has done for us herself. My husband was given a leather motorcycle-​type jacket by a friend of his that is taller than him. The jacket was practically new, but since the sleeves were longer, we had to have them taken in a bit. I thought we had to bring it to a leather specialist, but I thought, we’ll try Mrs. Kim first. All she can say is yes or no, well, she looked at it, and she said, it’ll take me some time, but I can do it. I knew already she was an excellent seamstress, but leather, thick leather, I wasn’t sure she even wanted to take it on, plus it was lined. She did say, just give me some time. I said, take as long as you like. So she measured his arm length, making sure the arm was slightly bent to allow for room, so the sleeves don’t ride up too high. It took a while, but man, when it was done, it was perfect. The lining proved to be quite difficult, but Mrs. Kim did a professional looking job. Excellent work indeed. I will post a picture of the sleeves, particularly the inside, so I can show her precision. Just remember, she is a great seamstress, and obviously does alterations and repairs, not just the routine cleaning and pressing.
When Mrs. Kim is not there, the other ladies that have worked there are nice, too. I remember Sarah, who has since retired, and another lady who is still there, but her name escapes me at the moment, she’s nice, too.
It’s harder to park now, because of the consruction changes, but one can park on the street instead. Give Smart Cleaners a try; you won’t be disappointed. Now remember, if you don’t get that warm and fuzzy feeling right away from Mrs. Kim, just remember, it took many years for our friendship to grow, but once you try them, you’ll be happy you have a good, solid, and expert cleaners to go to. By the way, Mrs. Kim is an avid golfer, so for you golfers out there, that’s some common ground to break the ice with.

I have been coming here for a few years now. They do a wonderful job at dry cleaning. I have brought jeans, dresses, and shirts to get altered and they always come out GREAT! The owner knows her stuff when it comes to alterations and she has helped me out when I needed a dress altered in a time crunch. I completely trust this cleaners with all of my clothes and uniforms. I recommend this cleaners to all my family and friends!!!

As a local who attended castro valley high school, this was the place I came to when I needed to alter my prom dress year after year. The owner is a professional seamstress and does an exceptional job. I’m always happy with the end result and I make sure to come here every time I am back in the area.

I was actually going to another cleaners before I ran into this one, but there no was parking available for the other cleaners due to road work on the street. So I passed it up and was going to turn down the next street to make a u turn but instead I saw Smart N Cleaners Right in front of me, without hesitation I just parked and walked in.
The Lady was very nice and I was in need of next day service, not for cleaning but repair on my dress slacks/​/​I had a hole-​next to my pocket that had opened up along the seem about 1−2inches long. The Lady (Kim) gave me a very reasonable price and also was also able to offer to press my slacks as well for the next day. I met her 2 dogs there, very friendly and playful.
I picked up my pants the next day and was very satisfied with her work, just like brand new. And nicely pressed too. I will definitely being going back for more great service. I’m glad I didn’t go to the other place, it was meant to be for me ending up here… !!!
Enjoy!

Drycleaning in Los Angeles is ridiculously expensive, and makes me realize how much cheaper it is to get things cleaned in the Bay Area.
EXPERT alterations. I’ve had a good amount of alterations done, and over the years my friends have gone here for everything from prom dresses and wedding dresses, to tuxedos and jeans.
Always friendly and willing to answer any questions.
They have a lot of plants, and the owner will even give you gardening tips occasionally haha.
Also as Roy B. mentioned they occasionally have a cute and friendly dog that knows some tricks, but leaves you alone if you don’t give it attention (well trained!).
Have loved this place for over 10 years!

I showed up right before closing, in rush to get some dress slacks pressed for a job interview the next day. I had tried to iron the pants at home, but I messed it up (I didn’t have a proper ironing board.).
The really nice lady helped me to hand iron my pants while I waited– turned out real crisp. And my interview the next day went real well.
Will try their dry cleaning next time. Oh, And they have a cute dog, too!
