Albrite Cleaners

Not sure about other people, but this couple has always been extremely nice to me. They’ve always greeted me with a smile since my first visit. You do need to be friendly to have it reciprocated, lol. I’ve gone here twice to have my suit and blouses dry cleaned. Service was excellent and quick. Also, they are right next door to me!

I have used Albrite for about 2 years and have no complaints. They’re cheaper than the other cleaners in the area and there is always parking right in front. The woman who owns the store has replaced missing buttons and made some alterations and always done a nice job.

Ughh — terrible cleaners, finally makes sense why there are never any customers. Prices are higher than what I paid at Nob Hill and the Marina and the clothes don’t even come out clean. I asked for a refund because the jacket looked just as dirty when i handed it in and the older man took my money and refused to return it. I was hoping to have a better experience coz they are convenient but never going here again.

ugh, to agree with a previous review, the lady in this shop is not really customer service oriented. which always confuses me, especially when you are the owner. The husband is nice, the wife. not so much. There’s nothing exceptional about their service or prices… and then they’re not even friendly about it. I tried to go to support our neighborhood shops (and may still do so in a pinch), but honestly, I’m looking to branch out a mile or so to find nicer service.

I was skeptical about going to this place for alterations because of the reviews, but it was hard to say no considering the time crunch I was under and the fact that it is literally around the corner from my house. I needed 2 tanktops shortened by a few inches and couldn’t find any place in the city to do it same day. I decided to just try Albrite Cleaners and they told me over the phone they could do it today and have it ready within an hour. I went in and was greeted by the husband. He was nice. The wife was not as friendly, but not by any means rude. We figured out together how many inches to shorten the shirts, then I left. I came back an hour later and she was finishing up. I could see that they were about right, so I paid and left. I got home and tried them on and they both fit perfectly! I was so excited that I went back and left her a five dollar tip (the shirts were 10 dollars each to shorten, which seems reasonable to me). They get five stars because they got the job done right, and in a timely fashion. Also kinda nice that I only hopped around the corner. For simple alterations like mine, I would highly suggest Albrite Cleaners.

Not sure what everyone gripes about. This is a very friendly couple who provide great service! It’s always on time, neatly done, reasonably priced. If you are a repeat customer, the lady fills out all the info for you on the order, since she’ll remember your name. They also do alterations, and its all jobs well done.

Who needs customer service for dry cleaning anyways? They’re Asian! Not being racist as I am Asian as well (ok…I am ;P). As long as they get the job done right, all good! Service with a smile comes later.
I always go there to get my shirts pressed and recently I had my raw selvedge jeans tailored the way I want it! It was definitely a good job. Jeans weren’t ruined and still has it’s selvedge look and feel.
Ignore the bad reviews as they don’t know anything about hard labor. I will go again.

I should have read other reviews before going to this cleaners. The woman there was no where nice and had horrible customer service. She charged me $ 6 for a chef jacket and it came back with hairs and lint on it, but I couldn’t accuse them of not doing the job… maybe they just didn’t do it well. She made me feel like I should not have brought her my dry cleaning and that she really didn’t want my business. The only time she was nice was when I paid her. I will not be going back.

They did a perfectly fine job cleaning my gown, but I’d rather not have people scowling at me when I give them my business. The lady in here shot me dirty looks when I dropped my clothes off, and when I picked them up. I’d rather give my business to Judah Cleaners nearby. They do a perfectly good job on my dry cleaning and are courteous to customers.

I think my favorite part of calling them was when I asked if they sew patches onto motorcycle jackets and they said «no» and hung up on me. LOL! Ok then, I guess I won’t ask my SECOND question about their operational hours so that I could bring in my regular dry cleaning for service! I can’t even rate the quality of the actual dry cleaning work, right? I’ll never know… and neither will they.
[sniff!] So sad!
I will give them 3 Stars just to be nice, rise above it, and get my review posted. Really, I just hope they see this and help themselves by not hanging up on peeps.

the place does a good job on dry cleaning. the guy (the husband) is always laughing at everything. the wife never even cracks a smile. it’s reasonable on price.

With all the cleaners down Irving St., Albrite is the only one I go to. A very sweet Chinese couple run this place. The woman tries to remember everyone’s name and says Hi, Stella when I come in. It’s a nice touch.
I can’t really say whether the dry cleaning prices are great, but I think they’re reasonable. Since I’m a shortee, I always get my pants hemmed there for $ 8. It’s still less than other places. I’ve hemmed one dress there, but the woman doesn’t feel comfortable and will usually refer you to a seamstress on Noriega.
I’ve been a loyal customer for many years now, and I recommend them highly.

I’m a guy so I don’t dry clean much but when the need arises, I’ve always gone to Albrite Cleaners. Fast and cheap … (sort of).
My last visit consisted of two coats, 1 jacket, and a pair of pants which totaled $ 24.25. I brought them in Tuesday afternoon and picked them up after work the next day.
