Halvorson’s Cleaners

White linen jacket ruined by Halvorson cleaners. Two garments over the past year. Owner states that I stained the jacket, brought the jacket to be cleaned and while it was being dry cleaned the stain appeared. Well I have been a loyal customer for four years, but will no longer be taking mygatments to them.

One star based on the bad customer service and price.
I walked in and a loud bell sounded. I stood there for a minute with no one acknowledging me. There was an older Asian woman on the left of me working on a garment and in the back were about three (3) people who just looked at me and then got back to what they were doing. I stood there another minute in silence until I said to the woman, «Excuse me, can someone help me?» She walks over to the register looks to the back and says, «very busy.» Then she walks back to what she was doing! I stand there another minute typing my «Tip» and finally someone comes to the register.
I had accidentally washed my blazer for work and I just needed it steamed. She told me it would be $ 5 something. I asked her how much it would be if I wanted to dry clean it. She said $ 8 something. So it’s $ 5 something to just steam it? She said yes. I said never mind and walked out.
Won’t be coming back.

These folks do ALL of my family’s laundry very week. They are a delight every visit and over the last few years have made my drop offs and pick ups absolutely seamless. They cater to my preferences on soap and folding and often tackle special requests as if it is nothing at all.

The service here is top notch and very friendly. I have been here a handful of times, and every time I have gone, they have not disappointed. I have gotten both dry cleaning and tailoring done. My husband’s shirts always come out looking fresh, clean and nicely pressed. And their tailoring is perfect. You definitely get the value of your money and more. I once took in a pair of wool shorts that I tried to fold-​hem myself (big mistake!) and just when i thought it was beyond repair, the lady there not only fixed the mistakes I made, but made them look like I bought them brand new in the store. They know exactly how a piece should look on you and are meticulous in making sure you are going to like the end result. I have also gotten a dress altered here as well as the inner lining of a leather glove fixed. You can definitely trust them with any of your valuable items. I highly recommend Halvorson’s Cleaners!

I was very disappointed. I had a jacket dry cleaned and when I went home, the sleeve has a water stain which was not there before.

Rude people. Used the store twice… the actual cleaning was fine but they’re not very nice people to deal with.
This really turned me off to them: they have aggressive sales tactics. They stand outside Trader Joes down the street from their shop and harass you as you come out. Even worse, they actually showed up *at* my door (on a weeknight) to sell their services to me (they didn’t have my home address and didn’t know I had been a customer). Nope — you don’t show up at my door at night to bother me. Sorry, I’m done with you people.

Love this place! I’ve been coming here for years!
I love their customer service. I told them that i needed a dress altered by the weekend, and they rushed my order with no extra charge.
They do such a nice job cleaning too. everything that i take there comes back immaculate.
This place is so convenient. Right across the street from trader joes, They let you park in the lot while you get your groceries.

These people are consistently lazy and rude. I can’t believe I’ve come back repeatedly. It’s convenient and I thought that it would be a safe place to take my cleaning, but the
Customer service is the worst.
Once, I waited for like 10 minutes for someone to come to the front counter. All the while, someone in the front sewed away, not even acknowledging me.
Tonight, I was 5 minutes late, they were still in the store, and I said that I was leaving on a trip, the next day. They shrugged.
Never again. Avoid these hacks.

Twice I’ve dropped off ties that I purchased from thrift stores, and both times I picked them up, these ties looked immaculate, as if they were brand new!
I spilled red wine on an expensive, light yellow sweater and thought I’d have to get rid of it, but I took it to Halvorson’s. When I picked up the sweater, the wine stains were completely gone!
My pants, suits, and shirts are always cleaned and pressed beautifully. I’ve never been disappointed when picking up an order from Halvorson’s. Often times, I’ve been amazed. And they’re more affordable than other cleaners in the neighborhood to boot.

So friendly! Great job cleaning a dress and they steamed something last minute free of charge!

This is my first time trying them because I used to go to a dry cleaner on Fair Oaks in the Oak Tree Inn shopping center until I brought in my white canvas cushion covers for a routine cleaning and they were returned with faint pink splotches. Canvas is possibly the easiest fabric to wash and I do a better job with my washing machine, people!
Anyway, I digress. I brought in the hood of my rain puffer to be fixed after it got caught on a rose bush and ripped. (Long story, I’m a hot mess.) I had no idea how they’d fix it because it didn’t rip on a seam. They said the mend might be visible but I didn’t care at all (it’s the hood of a black jacket, no normal person would notice). When I got it back, it wasn’t easy for me to find the mend, they did a great job. I also noticed another rip that wasn’t visible before. They didn’t charge me extra, even though I didn’t see it when I initially brought it in, and fixed it on the spot in five minutes. I paid $ 4.50 (10% cash prepay discount) so I’m very satisfied. Thank you!

I love this place. I have been coming here for around 3 years and have only had positive experiences. The staff is always super-​friendly and aways have a smile on their face. They also got me in and out really quickly… very efficient.
The clothes… they always come out great. I also appreciate the fact that they will help bring the clothes out to my car when I am holding my baby.
My favorite dry cleaner. Highly recommend this family owned business.

This is our local cleaner. . they always do a nice job and if you use one of the coupon cards that you can buy it’s a good deal.

We’ve gotten quite a few pieces dry-​cleaned at Halvorson’s over the past few months — both the typical items (my husand’s dress shirts) and a few more «special» pieces (like my husband’s suit and a few of my sweaters/​dresses) — and were super happy with how everything turned out.
I also appreciate the little touches – how they «wrap» (is that the right terminology?) each piece, especially the suit — it’s not just all on one hanger – but on the more «heavy duty» hangers that don’t feel like they’re going to break because of the weight.
As a disclaimer, we know the folks that own it (there’s a video of them here on Unilocal!) but if anything, that makes me want to give them the full 5 stars even more – they’re really nice people and care about doing well in their business. I also know for a fact that Mrs. Lee is really skilled with alterations and tailoring and would trust her with anything. If we lived nearby, it would definitely be our go-​to place for dry cleaning.

Great cleaners… lovely and professional, a great local business!

Halvorson’s Cleaners have the nicest owners. I’ve known them almost all my life. Their staff is very professional and courteous. My laundry and dry cleaned clothes always come out great! I will continue to come here for all my dry cleaning needs. Highly Recommended!

I went to Halvorson’s Cleaners through the recommendation of a friend and was thoroughly impressed. The dress shirts and jacket I gave them were cleaned, pressed, and were promptly ready for pickup. No problems whatsoever.
Friendly, honest, and appreciated the great customer service. I often go to So Cal for work and definitely plan to take my dress clothes back to them when I’m in the area.

My wife and had been going there for about 5 years and They were ok… but recently I noticed that they had ruined several of my suites by pressing them incorrectly (probably too high of temperature). Also, my wife’s sweaters were coming back with random holes in them that were not there before. It also took them a long time to acknowledge the difference between «dry cleaning» and «laundering» my shirts. Needless to say we are not coming back.

Have been using this cleaner for awhile now. Everything was great, excellent service, adding a button when one fell off during cleaning, etc. But then I took in a few items to be dry cleaned and I think they washed them instead. Everything shrunk significantly, and they didn’t even my press my husbands shirt giving it back to me all wrinkled.
They ruined about $ 500 in clothing, they lost my trust, and I won’t be back.

I have to echo the other reviewer. This is an old school cleaner that cares about taking care of their clients. It is in the details. Example, getting your suit coat back on a hanger with a plastic insert the keep the shoulders from peaking. Finishing the collars of your shirts… taking care not to break buttons. This is ther quality of work I grew up with. I am glad it still exists. I am not hard to please. I just expect value for my dollar. They provide the value I expect…
