a wonderful, personal service I've been a satisfied customer for years. On top of providing a reliable cleaning service, Debra and Joel were always helpful, friendly, neighborly. When they closed the Broadway store and before opening the new one on Amsterdam Ave., they did everything to give their customers the same convenience and excellent service we were used to. I had a rug cleaned and they held it for me for quite a wh... Read More On Citysearchnancy s 12/5/2009
Top Notch Service with a Smile I do not often write positive reviews unless the service I received was truly outstanding. Apthorp cleaners is an example of a business who deserves praise.
I brought a very expensive and intricate gown in, which needed to be tailored quickly for a wedding out of town. I was fitted and the tailor took the time to understand exactly how I wanted the dress hemmed, along with my concerns. Not ... Read More On Citysearchabcgongzhu 11/13/2009
Always Perfect! I've used Apthorp Cleaners for over twenty years, and have never been less than 100% satisfied with their work.
First class all the way...Love to drop off my stufff at their shop when I have time because the chat is always fun, uniquely warm and personal, and a great way to start my day on the way to work.
The new shop is gorgeous, also! Read More On CitysearchDBMJ 10/20/2009
Perfection Found Here These people can clean up just about anything, any spot on any material. And if they cannot, they call you and let you know what is happening.
They have good alteration services as well.
They know their customers by name. And when they say they will have it ready by 2pm Tuesday, the will.
Have taken flimsy and sequined articles of clothing and they come back in perfect condition. Read More On Citysearchhsueb 10/8/2009
Apthorp Cleaners' service is great A real community business in the best sense: great personal service and professional down to the last detail.
Apthorp has old fashioned values of treating the customer with friendly respect and going the extra mile to please.
I wish more upper west side businesses were run this way. Read More On CitysearchJoyce Herring 10/5/2009
The A-Listers' Cleaners We tried many cleaners, but will forever use and refer Debra and Joel's Apthorp cleaners. They are the best!!!!
And we deserve the best!!!!. As NYers, we buy the best!!!
Those poor reviewers have already left town, two years ago.
If you're looking for the Goodwill look, go to Detroit. If the vintage and designer look is your style, go to Apthorp.
Not for naught, Debra is the president of t... Read More On CitysearchLAKMD 10/5/2009

Truly caring Debra and her team care for my clothes as if they were museum pieces, or at least it seems that way. Cashmere sweaters come back looking brand new, dresses are hung with tremendous care, shirt collars are pristine -- the list goes on. The extra cost not only is justified but is largely offset by the long wear I get out of clothes that stay looking new. Read More On Citysearchbeegee350 10/2/2009
Debra to the rescue! I thought I would have to get rid of a 70's Halston ultrasuede jacket when I couldn't find anyone to fix a tear on the back of the left sleeve -- a tear that wasn't on a seam. I went everywhere -- to reweavers and other experts -- and no one was willing to give it a shot, Well, thank goodness I took it to Debra at Apthorp Cleaners -- which has moved, by the way, to Amsterdam Avenue -- who figur...

BEST CLEANERS -- ANYWHERE! I've lived all over the world and grew up here in Manhattan and have never had such great drycleaners! Debra actually arranged for me to get a credit for my designer raincoat that was attracting dirt too easily! Amazing.
No pins on your clothes. Take your sweaters off their hangers and unfold and there are no wrinkles. Worth the price. Really on a different level of professionalism than ... Read More On Citysearchparisny 6/30/2009
Unbelievable sweaters!! I sent in some beloved and well-wron cashmere sweaters with great hesitation and a bit of enbarassment--pilled, and full of lint. I did not think that they could be resuscitated and tha I would have to learn to live with them as the condition worsened (Who knows quality today?) Well they came back as brand new sweaters. I almost called to say that they delivered the wrong items. Their Delint/... Read More On CitysearchArtMaven 4/6/2009
Great Cleaners and very Friendly I have been going to Apthorp Cleaners for over twenty years. They are wonderful!! The owners know me by name and always ask about my son and his progress in life.
The cleaning, tailoring and repairs are fantastic. In fact, the owner will go out of her way to find the perfect replacement buttons, etc. This is just one example of the tremendous level of detail that is given even to the most ... Read More On Citysearchnyccoolcats 1/24/2009
Nasty People Work Here I went there once a few years ago and I couldn't believe the nasty behavior they exhibited. I don't know how people can stay in business with such bad attitudes. They're also overpriced. Dry cleaners are so plentiful there's no reason to be treated with such disdain. Read More On Citysearchdianezee 11/17/2008
Apthorp Cleaners INC I dropped off a blazer to be dry-cleaned and when I went to pick it up, the unfriendly clerk "couldn't find it." He had to look up my ticket because I had lost my receipt and told me to come back. When I came back, I saw the store had CLOSED FOR VACATION FOR THREE WEEKS!!! Now, I have no blazer to take on my summer vacation :( I wish someone had called me to let me know they were closing or t... Read More On Citysearchlaurapnyc 7/27/2007
Overpriced and unfriendly They charged me $60 to dry clean a dress and a shawl! The dress wasn't even long, it was short and did not have much fabric. They are unbelievably overpriced. The gentleman that works there is the biggest unfriendly grump. Do not go there unless you want to waste your money. Since when can dry cleaners get away with charging $60 for two pieces?
