Dry Cleaners

Which Dry cleaner in the Davis area do you guys prefer? I've been to Zoots in Porter before, but they take way too long and they are expensive. Any recommendations?

I tagged this as 'laundry'. Some of the old entries with this tag may be useful.

I really dislike that Zoots. I've gone there and they just don't listen--meaning they don't hear you when you point out a stain, and then they don't get it out. Thumbs down.

Porter Square Dry Cleaning on the street right behind the shopping area is pretty good, and lately I've been using North Cambridge Laundry (http://www.yelp.com/biz/north-cambridge-laundromat-and-dry-cleaning-cambridge).

I like Winn Dry Cleaners, right in the square, but I haven't really compared them to anyone else.

The North Cambridge Laundry is a very solid operation - personal service from Mustafa and Monica, good prices, and good quality. It's on Mass Ave in the little triangular plaza with the Cambridge House of Pizza and a convenience store; right where the linear park and Cameron Ave. cross Mass Ave.

They also have excellent coin-operated laundry facilities, with heavy duty machines that they maintain well.

In Teele Square, we've been using Chris Fine Tailoring for 15 years.
Run by an older Asian immigrant couple who are always there and remember us by face.

The only thing I wish they'd do is start using environmentally friendlier cleaning chemicals.

I use Anton's and find them pretty reliable. They frequently give coupons, so it cuts the cost down a bit. They're outside of Porter Sq on Somerville Ave in the plaza w/Starbucks. Not exactly convenient to Davis, I know.

Buywithme or Groupon has had a few 1/2 off coupons for Zoots, though you have to be a "new" customer (haven't used them for the past 6 months).

Porter Square Dry Cleaners and Tailors at 89 Elm St. are great. They are a local mom-and-pop business, do good work (fast) at a reasonable price, and are really nice folks!

RiteWay

Rite-Way Dry Cleaners between Porter and Harvard hasn't changed in 50 years. Locally owned, great service. They are one of the only ones left that do drycleaning onsite. One time I needed a suit done for an interview the next day and they drycleaned it within 4 hours.

I've used Bush cleaners, inside the Lesley bldg that's located on the Cambridge side of Porter Square, on Mass Ave. They use environmentally friendly products for dry cleaning - clothes don't come back with that awful chemical smell.
