Comment: I had just gotten my dress from alterations and needed to get it cleaned as it was a floor sample dress. I was able to give them at least the two weeks turnaround they needed to properly have it cleaned. When I had entered Brittany was very inviting and helpful in explaining the process and the form needed for my job. I have no idea the pricing comparison of other places for such a complicated piece to be cleaned so I figured with their reputation I was safe to bring my dress here before the wedding. As promised, on the date we had previously approximated she gave me a call and said my dress was ready for pick up. I could tell that my dress looked more vibrate given it was a sample dressed tried on my others before my purchase. I am very happy with the customer service and my dress as well presented. Brittany did warn prior to pick up that the dress is visible in the plastic cover sheet.

Comment: My trousers came back, just like new - - almost impossible to see the stitching repair. Amazing craftsmanship by Margarets specialists! I used their Clean by mail service and the process from beginning to end was a breeze.

Comment: I took my wife’s designer nylon purse to have the scuffs on the corners repaired, the purse reshaped & inside stain cleaned. Unfortunately the purse is still in the same condition as when I took it, the purse is till saggy, 1 corner has a scuff, stain is still valid in the middle of the purse. Also the purse was not returned on the timeline they gave me! I ended up getting the purse 3 weeks later from deadline (6 weeks). They charged me $279.00 to return the purse in same condition. And if they did work on it, It was a poor job! Stay away, they are pricey & do poor work!! Go somewhere else! And don’t let the restoration purse pictures on their site fool you!

Comment: Margarets Cleaners saved the day! I got my gown hemmed and bustled to start and it turned out beautifully and was very affordable. Then 1 month before my wedding, I went to try on my dress and the clasp broke! I knew I needed more fabric added for me to feel comfortable in it. Margarets Cleaners was able to turn it around for me SUPER quick so that I could have it in hand and feel good going into our wedding week. Im so so appreciative!

Comment: I’ve had great experiences with Margaret’s. Dry cleaned Hugo and Theory sports coats there, which turned out perfect. There’s definitely peace of mind knowing that they frequently handle these brands. Recently, I brought in a white button down that I had only worn once. It just happened to be on my wedding day. It was a good time if you couldn’t tell from the dirt and green markings, which bled from a green beaded necklace that I was wearing. Ultimately, the shirt was destroyed. Margaret’s cleaned it and a week later it’s BRAND NEW. I’ve never seen anything like it. My local dry cleaner can barely remove the dirt on the cuffs and neck line. This thing is spotless - I’m pumped. It was only around $10.50 to dry clean, hand press, and remove all the deep stains. Margaret’s can be pricey for other items, but it’s a great place to have on your radar since they can work magic. (See photo on Yelp)

Comment: When I first picked up my dress from the Bridal Salon and tried it on, I panicked! It was too big and I thought there was no way it would ever fit right. I took the dress to Naomi at Margarets and knew instantly that I had made the right choice! Naiomi is wonderful, friendly, and does incredible work!! My dress looked amazing, and they even packaged it to keep it perfectly safe for our cross-country flight.

Comment: Not sure all the low reviews. Its a bougie expensive dry cleaning and alterations place with bougie and expensive prices. You get what you pay for, and I bring all my premium italian and french clothing and leather goods here for repairs and alterations.

Comment: I brought a sport coat in for a minor repair and cleaning. She told me the repair would be $15, which is pretty common. I asked what the cleaning would cost but she didnt tell me--nothing on the ticket either. When I picked it up, theyd charged me $22.50 for the dry cleaning, apparently with some other charges for a total of $40. My fault for not pressing her to tell me.

Comment: They do amazing work BUT they handed my groom my wedding dress in a CLEAR PLASTIC BAG, I brought and left a garment bag and also purchased one of theirs for them to put it in. I dont know why they would think it was ok to give the groom the brides wedding dress in a clear plastic bag... Like its normal dry cleaning. I never received an apology, I wasnt comped anything. They just didnt care at all.I will never give them my business again.

Comment: Probably one of a kind upscale dress cleaner with high-tech equipment that can clean sensitive dress and material, they will take any kind of sensitive garment you have but also charged steep price, turnaround time is usually about 5 to 7 days and they can also deliver the item to you if you sign up with their service. They have more than one location in the area. Expensive.
