Sansom Cleaners

6/24/2011

I had to use Sansom Cleaners a couple times and I was very satisfied with the service. They are pretty expensive so I try to dry clean as rarely as I can. Usually I trust them with my silk clothe which cost even more. I paid $13 for silk dress and $9 for silk blouse. They charged me regular $5.25 for dress pants. But its all worse it cause I got my stuff back like new. You always get what you pay for!

I use to be a customer here - all my clothes smelled like smoke when I got them back.  It was weird. I don't think they smoke in there. They have a pet in there sometimes but it wasn't the smell of pet - it was like musty smoke.

I've since switched.  Sansom is closer to me but its hard to justfy going.  I'm not a smoker and I don't believe I should pay to have my clothes smell like smoke.

Bummer.

The couple seems really nice too...

I go here only for really expensive items as I feel like they are a bit more professional than some other locations although their prices are really outrageous.  They charge so much for simple dry cleaning services and hemming the dress of a coton sundress.  They are not a regular vendor for me.

Having trouble finding a cleaners around Rittenhouse that can actually get stains out of clothes.  This one was unsuccessful several times.  My last visit I took a dress without any stains, but low and behold it had a stain when I went to pick it up.  They keep insisting they can get it out, so they keep trying but to no avail.  I'll have to take the dress to another cleaners to actually get clean.  Don't expect this place to do anything but clean men's shirts.

I'll continue going to them because they're the closest cleaners to my apartment, even though they consistently press wrinkles INTO the front of my shirts. They're nice, at least. And relatively cheap.
