Ocean Express Cleaners

Griselda does a fantastic job in a very timely manner. She is friendly and very efficient. She does additional services like sewing, tailoring, and adding buttons for a great price as well.
I recently had to get a rug cleaned and she was able to have this done quickly through her sister or someone she knows and charged a decent price.
My only qualm is the parking. The lot is pretty small and there are usually one or no spaces left. It can get cramped, but if you don’t mind walking a little bit there is street parking on Montana or 7^th.
Definitely will stick to this place for the time being.

The most amazing cleaners! Reasonable in price, super friendly, fast turn around and she does a fabulous job! Never going to another cleaners again.

What a treasure of a business to have nearby with an overpriced, impersonal dry cleaner so near. I’m so glad I use Ocean and Griselda, who posts the reasonable prices, knows where your clothes are, does an amazing job on spot removal and also is a fine tailor. I can’t recommend Ocean enough.

I took my sportcoat to 2 other nearby establishments, each time noting a blemish on the shoulder. First place told me when I picked it up, sorry we couldn’t get it out. a month later, I took it to another who told me its a permanent stain. that was 6 months ago. I wore the jacket the other day at an event, forgetting about the smudge. Afterwards I took it here based off the reviews and a «eh why not feeling».
I can happily report that the jacket was returned to me looking good as new. There might not be any coupons and they may not have a fancy storefront, but they get the job done. And quite frankly, when the competition proved not up to the task, she earned by repeat business with this one.

You should know about this dry cleaner! Griselda does an outstanding job
for shockingly inexpensive prices. LIke, set the time machine back to 1990 dry cleaning prices…
She also does repairs!
A rare bargain in this hood…

Very nice. Service great. Prices good. Have done great job on clothes. And you can usually get clothing back in very reasonable time period.

Another shout out for Griselda! I came to this place after being unhappy for a while with another cleaner over on Wilshire. Griselda passed my «test” – after two other cleaners had left black smudges, she was able to perfectly remove a blackish stain (probably mascara) from the dead center of my beautiful teal silk tank. The same with an old white tank with pink stains that two other cleaners had not removed. Also, I brought her some pants to alter, and since I don’t need perfection (i.e., don’t tuck my shirts in), she did a couple of waist seams and only charged me $ 5.00 (so I brought her a bunch more pants for the same treatment, since I lost weight recently). Am really pleased to find somebody in the neighborhood who does such a good job. $ 5.50 for ladies’ blouse and pants, which is very average for this expensive neighborhood. Also appreciate the parking spaces right behind the entrance on 7^th.

I’m not sure who these people are going to that they’re rating so highly. I tried them and they ripped me off. Didn’t give me an estimate up front and I feel stupid for not asking but I thought they would be honest. Well $ 54 later and I have 6 clean items. Ridiculous. $ 12.50 to clean my dress?

The go to spot for dry cleaning if you want a good job done and don’t want to spend a fortune.

I love this place and the owner — I’ve been using them for 2 years and never ever had a problem — everything always comes back looking fabulous and they are reasonable and timely.

Great service and very reasonable prices. If you’re looking for a dry cleaner on Montana look no further. Their alteration services are also great and they’ll be honest with what they can and can’t do so there are no surprises. I highly recommend them.

Excellent dry cleaning and minor alterations. They really know what they’re doing and fixed some complicated pressing on a designer blouse that 2 other cleaners botched. Hemming, reweaving and shortening sleeves are done quickly. (not tailoring or evening gown alterations though.) plus Griselda is incredibly warm and accommodating, AND she has a genuine photographic memory! so not only do you always feel like a valued customer, but she takes one look at you and retrieves your clothes from the back without even looking at your receipt — amazing!

This is THE best place in all of LA to get your close altered and dry cleaned. The woman who owns and runs the shop is Griselda and she couldn’t be more accommodating. She’s sewed things for me on the spot, same day and overnight if i really needed it done quick. I was referred to her by my friend Heather and that was over 10yrs ago. Now, all of my friends go to Griselda because she is truly the best. For those who gave her a couple stars, you must’ve gone to her on a bad day as she always stands by her work and aims to please. I’ve had a few mishaps in the past, but she’s always fixed them for me, so i have nothing bad to say except that everyone has a bad day now and then.

The location on the map is incorrect, Ocean Express is actually on 7^th and Montana, in the same center as the new Chase bank and across the street from Starbucks.
This is unequivocally the best place to get clothes laundered in the Montana area of Santa Monica.
I couldn’t recommend enough. Price is fair, and you don’t have to mess around with coupons or bulk discounts, just straight up fair prices everyday.
Alternations, Laundry, Dry Cleaning all come back perfect. Have a special request, she will accommodate it. Going on a trip? Let her know and she will pack your dry cleaning for travel. This is a life saver. Clothes come out of your suitcase looking like you just picked them up on hangers.

This place is very close to my work, so I decided to give it a try, knowing that it might be expensive because of the area, instead of going closer to my neighborhood.
The woman is very nice and does good work. I had 7 items (6 tops and 1 dress) that totaled almost $ 50. I guess that’s somewhat reasonable but I’ll still be looking for the next best cleaner with cheaper prices.

The place seems to be run by this really nice lady who is very helpful; especially when you need a rush job. The last place I went to had the bored why do I really need to help you look that most «service» employees have and for bonus points they lost one of my shirts.
No problems here. Everything comes back nice, the price is right and it’s always on time. They are really good at hemming up jeans too.

I’m a fan of this place. They’re always on time with work and my shirts always turns out awesome. The prices are competitive, but the service is worth it.

I just picked up my clothes that I took here to get hemmed (pants and a dress) and I’m extremely pleased! Having just moved from NYC where dry cleaners and tailors are on every corner, it was a bit daunting to find a good, reasonably priced one that was walking distance to where I live, but I think I finally have! The prices were great, especially for this area, service was prompt, and the woman who helped me was extremely pleasant to deal with. I’ll be back again and can’t wait to try out their dry cleaning services!

I’ll jump on the bandwagon of Ocean Express because it’s the best dry-​cleaner in Santa Monica, in my humble «knowing» opinion.
Ever since I started taking clothes to a dry-​cleaner there’s always been something to find issue with and my review on Brown’s Cleaners down the street would illustrate that point. But this place is the real deal!
Griselda, owns this little shop, and is as gracious and accommodating as anyone on this planet. She’s has a genuine smile on her face every time you go in there, which is unusual these days.
No waiting, reasonable prices, and lastly, great service with superb cleaning. You’ll not be disappointed!

Altered state of mind!
You never have to wait! Forget Flair cleaners and their WAY overpriced alterations service. This is the place you need to be. This is cheap, local, no status and can get alterations done quickly and cheaply.
The woman that runs it is a sweat heart and is quite flexible. They are local. Give them a shot and give a big middle finger to Flair.
**Important: The Google map to your right is off a little bit. This place is located on the corner of 7^th and Montana on the backside of Blockbuster.
Don’t half step. Get that waistband taken out, gordo!
