Upon review of my Yelp account I noticed the owner's response that I had not contacted him or had he heard from me. This is not true. I honestly contacted him and asked that he contact me before I posted the review. Again.save your money.

I've used a lot of dry cleaning companies in my tenure in Chicago and Greener Cleaner is bar-none on the best.

Definitely take your clothing elsewhere if it is of any value. A pair of linen shorts were retuned with the elastic waist ripped and unwearable. They "fixed" then and returned with a new elastic band along with new ripped/torn fabric along the waist. It's baffling how they could send them back in this state. They offered to fix again but never came to pick up as promised. Expensive silk dresses returned with the fabric altered in appearance. Items hung with sharp edges that dug small holes into fabric. I rarely write reviews but feel the need to warn others that clothes will likely be damaged and this cleaner is not worth the risk.

I have used both the Edgewater and Skokie hubs for Greener Cleaner and have yet to have a bad experience. I love that I don't walk in and smell dry cleaning fluid. I love their eco-friendly model, their friendly customer service, and the fact that in bad driving weather or in a pinch I can get my items delivered. They have cleaned everything from suits to blankets and comforters for me, and their tailors have altered or repaired several items. It's like having a small-town cleaner in the big city!

Thank you for sorting out nightmare. Despite being advised they did the best they could we don't see any marks and the comforter is restored to glory. Also worth mentioning they give eta of Thursday and it wa ready Tuesday afternoon. Amazing work, thank you
