K Y Cleaners

Jan 2023

Inconvenient hours (Tuesday thru Thursday 10-3:30) and difficult parking in Chinatown (easy if you have two people in car), but obviously lower rates than in FiDi. Nice female owner/worker.

These days, service places like this are struggling to tread water. Since the work scenario changed at the turn of the century to being business casual, places like this that service the Financial District workforce have seen a dramatic drop in business. Where guys would bring their suits and collared shirts and gals had skirts, shirts, pants, and jackets that needed to be dry cleaned or washed, those days are gone. And with the change in the last fifteen months, who really does work in the Financial District anymore. Since this store is near where I have work stops on a regular basis, I will bring collared shirts and my dry clean needs here on occasion. I believe they used to be on Kearny Street, but rising rents likely moved them here. I recently had a polo shirt that I put in a bad location and it fell onto a sticky situation... literally. While in the garage, a sticky mouse trap was the culprit of a stain to the back of this shirt. Not wanting to toss the shirt, I sought their help in removing and cleaning the stain. I went on a Thursday and spoke to a young lady who looked at my stain and told me she couldn't help me. I am going to my other go-to spot in the Richmond District that is pricier but probably more knowledgeable in handling this difficult stain. Fingers crossed as I'd like to wear this shirt during the baseball playoffs to root our home team on. Still, I will continue to support neighborhood businesses like this though they may not be able to solve all my cleaning needs. Oh, by the way, Go Giants!
