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.

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 the National Cleaners Association! Go Debra!

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.

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 figured out immediately what to do. The jacket looks terrific. You would never know there was a tear, and the price... read more

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 any other dry cleaner, here, London, Paris, etc.!! Exceptional.

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/De-Pill process is amazing, and reflects the care, knowledge of fabrics, and hand work that Apthorp puts into... read more

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 simple of dry cleaning. I highly recommend them.

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.
