I have been using them for the last 3 years. There are a number of weeks I have had to call for missing items. I have 3 items missing for almost 1 month. $700 in missing items. They brought 3 items to my house (other customers) on 6/13, today (6/20) they brought over 20 items that were not mine, still missing my items.

Response from 1-Less Chore Dry Cleaning Shirts & More
I'm sorry to hear that this customer had a bad experience. All that was necessary was to return the items which we would gladly redo for her at no charge. I have no clue how a duvet could come out lumpy since they are basically flat and insert a comforter inside. She never contacted us since we a 100% guarantee.

I have been using 1 Less Chore Dry Cleaning for about 5 years and Ken has always been prompt and professional. I have to say that the fact that they pick up and drop off is absolutely the best thing as you do not have to worry about getting to the store in order to drop off or pick up your clothes within a specific time frame. Otherwise the pricing is comparable to other dry cleaners that I used prior to started with 1 Less Chore and the quality is terrific and the alteration services and repairs are also mostly very good. I usually do about 9-11 items every month with the cost reflected above. Definitely would recommend to anyone who has a busy schedule and needs to have dry cleaning done on a regular basis.

They were pretty good. They do door delivery; so they do come, pick it up and deliver back to us. The cost depends on what garments we put. They are good. They are always professional. There is one person there who is really very good and he is very accurate in whatever he tells. He picks up at the right time and get back at the right time. Their customer service stood out the most to me.

Thank you for the nice review, however there are two items on your review I'm curious about. You gave us a C rating for both professionalism and responsiveness and for the life of me I cannot figure out why? My communications are always with [member name removed] and if I get a question it's answered immediately. And regarding professionalism please help me understand where we can improve?

My extremely short experience with this dry cleaners was awful. I'm frankly shocked at the number of stellar reviews of their service on Angie's List. For The the first pick up, we gave them three items to clean: a cardigan sweater, and 2 pairs of pants. Much to our shock, they took the cardigan sweater and hung it directly on a wire hanger, causing it to be misshapen. I have had countless sweaters dry cleaned in the past by other providers, and have seen this happen before. I thought that it was a very basic practice that, when a sweater is dry cleaned, it is folded over on a cardboard part of a hanger with tissue paper. I've never seen a sweater hung directly unaware hanger before. What's more, one of the pairs of pants that was pressed had wrinkles, and did not look good. When I raised these 2 issues with the owner, he, appropriately, offered to redo both items. Each item did look better after he redid them, and he did not place the cut cardigan sweater directly on a wire hanger again. Then, for the only second time that I put cleaning out for them, I left only a button-down cotton shirt. I was very disappointed to see the shirt when I came back to me, as it had multiple wrinkles and had not been properly depressed. Considering that we gave them relatively few items, and a significant percentage of them came back in unsatisfactory condition,, I discontinued my service with them. I told him that I was not convinced that they could give us the level of service that we become accustomed to with other providers, and that we expect in the future. On a positive note, the owner was courteous, professional, and responsive to me on the phone. Also, they did pick up the clothing on the designated days. Overall, though, due to the poor quality of the dry cleaning/pressing, I would not recommend this the dry cleaner to anyone. I do not feel that they handled our clothing with the appropriate level of care.

Response from 1-Less Chore Dry Cleaning Shirts & More
Unfortunately, this customer was not happy with our work. Nor was she happy with the prior cleaner she had before us which she clearly failed to mention in this review. In my professional career, whether it is my current business or in previous positions, I've found that there are people with completely unrealistic expectations that cannot be satisfied. We guarantee our performance 100% and are more than happy to handle valid complaints in a timely and professional manner. I should have known from my very first conversation, or should I say extensive interview that this was an account I shouldn't have accepted under any circumstance. Although we normally fold most sweaters sometimes they need to be hung because of the structure of the garment. My presser who has well over 30 years of experience felt that the sweater needed to be hung because of the structure of the garment. We do not, nor have I ever seen a bare metal hanger being used for a sweater. Anytime a sweater needs to be hung they are put on hangers with foam to protect the garment. Enough said about that I didn't see the original packaging as I was not at my plant at the time of shipment. We are after all human and mistakes happen. An entire order, I don't think so! I can't address the shirt it was not returned for a redoing. I am very proud of our reviews and of the staff that performs all the labor. The reviews you read other than this one are all real and I resent the suggestion that this person would make a comment of how shocked she was! You decide, one poor review or a majority. I am quite upset by this review and apologize sincerely that we were unable to meet this persons requirements. Try my company you won't be unhappy.

Have been using this service for probably about a year now. I've had one less than stellar experience in that time and it was with a button I wanted sewn onto something. My concerns were addressed very promptly and I have no reservation at all highly recommending this service.
Description of Work: 1-Less Chore provides a big orange bag. You put all your dry cleaning and items to be altered in the bag and hang it on your door with the handy door hook they provide. Your laundry gets picked up and a couple days later gets returned. I throw a check in the bag when I put out a load for the next pickup. It couldn't be simpler or more convenient and it's reasonably priced given that I don't have to do ANYTHING except remember to put my laundry out.

Only on a few occasions were there some problems with alterations that were not done, but they were quickly addressed when reported. Excellent service and you won't regret it if you use 1 Less Chore.

Description of Work: I was contacted by the owner very soon after ordering his dry cleaning services through Angies List. He welcomed me by phone to his company, delivered a clothing bag to my home, and explained how his service works. Everything went like clock work and the end result was high quality cleaning and professional service. I will definitely use 1- Less Chore again.

I particularly like the idea that this company picks up and delivers their orders. I called 1-Less Chore and got Ken Hantman on the phone immediately. I asked for a general price for a slipcover for a 96" couch and he indicated apx $30 dollars. He then asked me to go to his website and submit a form. After that was completed he arranged a time to pick the slipcover the next Tues. When he picked it up, however, he realized that what he had in mind for a slipcover was not the same as my slipcover. I imagine he's never shopped at Pottery Barn and was not familiar with furniture that is slipcovered rather than upholstered. He then called and apologized about his quote since the price for such a large custom piece would be higher than $30. I take partial blame for this miscommunication as I was surprised that the price he quoted was so low and should have made further clarifications. The final cost ended up being $75 which I believe was fair. And the quality of the work was very good. He delivered the slipcover back 10 days later, looking much better. I would definitely recommend this business.

I enjoy using this service. I never have to worry about finding time to make it to the cleaners. In the past, I had left my clothes at other dry cleaners for weeks on end, but now my clothes are picked up and brought right to me. Ken uses nice text message reminders so I never forget to put my dry cleaning out, and he never misses a beat. Once when my clothes had a particular tough stain on them, he took the extra time to make sure that the stain was removed! The pants look like new! I've been using this service for about 4 months, and they have never lost a button, or ruined any garment. In fact, my clothes always look perfect. Stellar job!
Description of Work: Ken picks up my dry cleaning from my workplace every other week. He gets it on a Tuesday and drops it off on a Friday. As a busy administrator, this is a phenomenal service; he's reliable, communicates well, and my clothes look great.

I wanted to thank the member for his review and I'll get right on getting the quality upgraded to an A. As a matter of fact I just printed this out to take to my plant! He is a valued customer and I'll do everything I can to make him completely satisfied. As far as price goes, my prices are typically 20% - 30% lower than other concierge services offering a similar service. In general my customers often ask why my prices are lower than the local cleaners. My typical answer is that I don't waste money on wasteful packaging that gets thrown in the trash anyway. Besides, less trash is good for our fragile environment.Also, I'm continually doing market research to make certain that my pricing is as good if not better than the local dry-cleaners that don't offer free pickup and delivery. One thing that consumers aren't aware of is that most, not all, dry cleaners inflate prices and then offer what I consider false discounts. In addition to that if a dry cleaning store does offer pickup and delivery if may or may not be free and they never give those discounts. In other words, a dry cleaner may have a suit price of $12.95 or higher and offer a 20% discount on Tuesday. However if you have it picked up and delivered that discount does not apply to your order. I'm actually quite happy to see any rating because 1-Less Chore can't get better without feedback, so thank you again! Ken

I chose Ken Hantman's 1-Less Chore Dry Cleaning based on an Angie's List review and could not be happier with the service. The dry cleaning is very good and the alterations have been stellar! You can't beat the convenience of putting the stuff outside your door and having it waiting for you several days later. Ken's prices are somehow cheaper than every other place I've ever been and he takes all the work out of dealing with the dry cleaning. It's value and convenience, plus Ken is just an all around nice guy.
Description of Work: I've had dry cleaning, laundering and alterations performed on a variety of garments over the course of approximately four weeks. The service has been extremely prompt and top notch. I used to avoid buying "dry clean only" garments at all cost, but with Ken's service, I now look for items to send his way since they always come back in spectacular shape.

Ken is an example of how wonderful working with a small business owner can be. If something unusual has occurred with the dry cleaning (snow storm interfering with pickup/delivery, question about ability to remove pet stains from expensive blanket, etc.), he not only calls to discuss the issue but he also calls to follow-up and make sure that the item was taken care of to your satisfaction. The pickup/delivery system is fantastic, reliable, and truly "one less chore" to worry about. I am so happy to be with Ken and have had only wonderful experiences since we signed up with him in the fall of 2009.
