Cleaners on 8th

This place was awesome! The man helped me out when I was in a bind, it was my graduation day and I needed my dresses dry cleaned. No one did same day without having recieved the items at 8am and it as about 9:30. He said he could and so I took him my items. He ironed my sash for free and got me my dresses by 1:30. I made it to my graduation on time and looked great and it was all thanks to cleaners on 8^th! I was so impressed with the service and workmanship, I definitely recommend this place. Thank you cleaners on 8^th!

Great staff! Very happy with my shirts. Will definitely be back in the near future! Thanks so much.

Way overpriced and the final product is unacceptable. Typical shortsighted business owners. Instead of getting customer loyalty, they want the fast buck. Was quoted $ 5 shirt when I first went in!!! Then somehow it went down to $ 3 shirt after two discounts. But $ 3 shirt is way too high. (I’m new in town and I thought this might be the norm.) And the shirts were probably washed in a washing machine and ironed onsite. A few of my shirts still had wrinkles. I went to a much better cleaners and got a quote of under $ 2 shirt for the same thing. The problem with DTLA cleaners is the lack of competition. And I don’t care if the owners are friendly or not — just handle my dry cleaning properly. That’s what we pay for.

Amazing service. Kind and helpful and good at what they do. Joaquin finished two pieces for me in 4 hours. People who work there are awesome.

This is probably the best dry cleaners in town. Certainly my favorite. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The owner is not only awesome but I’ve been able to refer several friends and they have been more than satisfied.

After calling Executive Image Cleaners because they have a discount for Loyola Law Students (getting a second law degree: Tax LLM) and being rudely told they couldn’t just press, not even clean, a suit today as I have a last minute interview tomorrow, and having Cleaners LA not pick up their phone twice in a row during business hours, I called Cleaners on 8^th. Was politely told that yes, they could press the suit, and it would only take 20 minutes. As you will see, this was obviously a conservative estimate.
I arrived about an hour later, and the man that greeted me recognized my voice and quickly started to work on the suit. He also cleaned a tie that I had written off (balsamic vinaigrette). He did this all in about 10 minutes. Total: $ 10. Haven’t checked the suit in detail, but it sounded like he did a bit of cleaning. He then wished me luck in my interview, and I told him I’d be back.
The only downside is that, probably because it was a silk tie, which I hear are notoriously hard to clean, while the stain is gone, it is a bit shiny in that spot. Going to research online to see if I can rectify that, as they no longer sell the tie (its a cheap one), and it goes perfectly with one of my shirts. Still, as I said, I had written the tie off so 5 starts is definitely appropriate in my opinion.

The number one pro of this place is that they do same day cleaning. This is what initially drew me here (aside from the fact that my last cleaners kept giving me shirts back with missing buttons — rendering the cleaning worthless).The staff is very friendly here and they go above and beyond. They offer a convenient pickup and drop off service and even gave me a drawstring bag with a name tag on it. Although I pay slightly more here to have shirts pressed, their service has been impeccable. The owner can sometimes be a little misleading and abrasive but the employees more than make up for it.
Parking can be impossible so I usually just ride my bike.
They also apparently offer home cleaning services though it is more expensive than I feel comfortable paying.
Overall, I highly recommend this place.

Rarely take the time to write reviews on Unilocal,but I wanted to share that Joaquin and Marci have been repeatedly SUPER nice and helpful when I have cleaning issues. I’ve gone here at least 7 times with a bunch of different cleaning needs over the last year. They have gone out of their way to get stains etc. resolved for me.
They’re genuinely nice people that just care to help people out and run a good business. Refreshing that they don’t try to suck the pennies out of you any chance they get.

I’ve been going to this cleaners for three years now and the service is excellent with kind employees. My wife and I work in industry costume houses, so we are constantly getting costumes cleaned here, sometimes on short notice. I’ve had them clean tux’s, wedding gowns, leather trench coats, and delicate chiffon garments. The people here are kind, friendly, and work at giving me the best price possible.

With its wonderful owner — complete with friendly and understanding employees, this cleaners offers a wealth of unexpected surprises. In a dramatic situation they do more than expected — they create a fresh take on getting the job done that makes the customer feel like they have a second family. if you come in the cleaners, and you need more than the assistance of the employees, Marcella the owner will find a way to take care of it, that let’s you feel like you have left the hectic problem of your cleaning of daily life behind.

I have had very good experiences with this cleaners every since a new co-​worker introduced it to me. My contact with Joaquin have been most excellent and he
even went way out of his way, above the norm, to make sure I was satisfied. My 2
interactions with the owner Marci have been great.
If you have any problems please try to work them out. Not easy to find a good cleaners downtown where you can pick your clothes up and drop them off during
lunch. I hope they will be in business for a long time and help a lot of people.

This woman is still harassing two different people who left Unilocal reviews and now me.
Proceed with extreme caution and do not give your personal details to her because she will keep calling and calling and threatening every way she can. Lawyers are soon to be involved. Possibly the police.
She’s threatening a small business to go to the press and blogs??? Over her basically stealing their material and holding it ransom after misquoting several times.
Now here she is again claiming untrue facts.
Marci. You are lucky I just left a Unilocal review and did not post it to my 1m social media following. Stop threatening everyone on Unilocal!Go seek mental help!

This was such a horrific experience! STAY AWAY! I believe this is my first bad review on Unilocal!That is how bad the experience was :(
I called they quoted me a price and told me I could pick it up in 2 days. They picked it up pretty quickly. An hour later they call to tell me they changed the price. I told them they need to return it, since it wasn’t what we agreed on. (Before the pick up guy came I confirmed a third time about the price). They said they would return it. I ended up calling them twice after that phone call to get my fabric retuned. They said they would come tonight at 7pm last delivery. They NEVER showed up. I called at 7:15pm, 7:30pm they never called back as they were closed.
I had over $ 3,000 of fabric with these people. I called them four times the next day and finally got a call back. They never even returned the fabric itself! I had to ask OneClick cleaners (the company I hired instead of them AMAZING people) to pick up the fabric from Cleaners on 8^th. A nightmare experience. Never again.

1^st time to this cleaners. Went for fluff and fold. Dropped my clothes off Saturday afternoon and got them delivered, freshly laundered, neatly folded to my place just after 8 pm. Vet happy with their service and responsiveness!

My original experience was pretty negative but after I wrote the review Marci contacted me, wanting to make things right. She offered me a credit if I would give them a second chance, so I did. They were finished with the items super fast and what was really nice was that Marci made sure the employee at the store knew my situation so I wouldn’t have to explain my story again. I really appreciated the fact that she acknowledged their error and recognized that it was an inconvenience for me. I will definitely come back.

Good and convenient dry cleaner

I’m a stylist and have taken my stuff here a few times, as well as had a dress altered for a client for a red carpet event taking place the next day. They’ve always been quick and helpful. They do a lot of stuff off-​site, but I haven’t had any complaints yet, either from clients or personally.
When I’ve dropped off items I pulled from designers, I was able to return them in original condition (which is great because stylists are 100% financially liable for all damages to clothing!), even after a music video I worked on had my actress rolling around on the ground of the filthy park plaza hotel basement [in a white gown]!!
I’m going to give them a try for some more of my personal items as well. So far, they’ve saved my butt a few times, so it’s worth trying them out.

If I could give it negative stars I would.
I have used thus cleaner two times now. The first time the staff was extremely rude. They did not welcome me in or anything.
Then I needed my suit by Monday. I dropped it off on a Wednesday. I went back on Friday, after they said it would be ready on Thursday, and they told me it wasn’t ready due to a driver not having a vehicle. They also said there was not a way to get my suit.
I guess they don’t do the cleaning on site.
I came back a week later from my work trip and I didn’t get to take my suit with at all. When I asked for a discount they woman looked at me like I was mad. Personally I don’t think I should have even paid half. They gave me 10%off… That was it.
Never again would I go here.

I’ve had 2 formal dresses and one pair of tuxedo pants I’ve been meaning to get drycleaned, but since I’m not galavanting about at formal events too often, they’ve been sitting in a bag for about 1 – 3 years. Clearly not a priority of mine.
Over the weekend, my chihuahua got stuck inside of the duvet cover. Like, literally inside of it. Somehow he had shimmied his way in through the button area and was sandwiched between the duvet and my down comforter. Upon discovering him, I dug about trying to free him. I suppose he was caught up in the melodrama of being ensnared and unleash his bladder as I pulled him to safety. Seriously let loose, not an ounce of moisture left in his body. No, not in his body. All over my down comforter. ALL OVER IT.
Shit. My washer and dryer is clearly not large enough to stuff a comforter in. There’s no way in hell I’m going to waste my day at a laundromat, especially since there isn’t one in downtown. After a quick Unilocal search, I see that Cleaners on 8^th is:
a) close by
b) open reasonably late
c) does laundering for the comforter (plus a sleeping bag I’ve been meaning to get cleaned since the great campground scandal of 2013)
d) does dry cleaning for the dresses/​pants I’ve neglected
Done, sold.
I dropped it all off on Saturday pm and was able to pick it up today (Monday) after 6, which was a better turn around than I expected due to the weekend. The person helping me (didn’t get her name) charged me 40% less than the total amount due, which was confusing as hell but I was in a rush so I didn’t really question it.
My dresses ($ 9.75 each) and pants ($ 5.95) returned from their dry cleaning nice and new looking. The floor length gown had some dirt stains on it (outdoor wedding, gugh) that were cleaned very well. My sleeping bag ($ 17.50) and my comforter ($ 25) were laundered really well and smell nice again. I did have to pay the 40% that I was not originally charged when I dropped off my stuff, but such is life, I expected to have to do it anyways so it wasn’t a big deal.
I’ll definitely come here for my future dry cleaning and laundering needs. Great service and Marci is super friendly.

I emailed Marci to thank her and her staff for the great work they did for me today, so she asked me if I would put it on Unilocal.So here it is:
I’ve had Cleaners on 8^th doing my housekeeping for the past several months and I’ve always been pleased with the work. However, something was really special about today. Haha. I came home and not only was the place spotless, but my dry-​cleaning was already hanging up in my closet. It just made everything feel that much better! Especially because I know I left my loft in a bit more shambles than normal because I’ve had a rough few weeks, it meant a lot to come home and see that the place had really REALLY been cleaned well.
Also, this was my first time having them do my dry-​cleaning and I was pleased with how my garments came back to me. I was hesitant at first because dry-​cleaning downtown is normally TERRIBLE, so I had been going to Silverlake. But, now that I know Marci and her staff can handle it, they’ll be getting my clothes regularly.
Also, unrelated to my experience, I saw the review about the leather pants that got damaged. I had a faux leather shirt go into dry-​cleaning and the clerk explained to me some of the potential for bleeding color with leathers/​leather-​imitations. So, for a second, I thought I couldn’t leave the garment with her and I was about to be annoyed (like I normally am in DTLA dry cleaners), but she explained it was a matter of the material itself having certain tendencies and that if I had the garment dry-​cleaned before without a problem, then it would be fine with her. I explained that it had been dry-​cleaned before, so I gave it to her and it was returned with no problems. Needless to say, I’m glad that she took the time to explain the situation before just taking my garment and then something potentially happening. I find that to be very professional and I appreciated it.
I’ll continue relying on Cleaners on 8^th as long as I’m in DTLA :)
