Fraudsters.  I was told that my rug would cost no more than $100 to clean.  I  paid upfront and when collecting the rug, was told it was an additional $25.  The owners contradicted what they said at drop off and I had to pay the extra amount to collect my item.

Heard good thing, got poor results. And for the price… wow do I feel scammed. $40 for this to look worse than it did when you got it is wild. It’s still got dirt in it, it stinks still, and it is now very faded which I have no idea how you manage to do dry cleaning. But regardless dirt should come out of this, not like it’s oil. Looks like it wasn’t even touched, and for sure smells like it wasn’t. Horrible.

Super friendly people, funny goofy guy at thr register. Did a wonderful job on ny husband's suit.

I've been using Ideal Cleaners ever since 2017. They have always been so polite and very professional. They really came through for me yesterday. I needed a pair of pants hemmed in less than 14 hours and, I'm so happy and pleased that they got it done. I will continue to do my business with such a caring and professional company.

Owners are friendly and efficient, and…. Clothes come back beautifully done… meticulously and thoughfully wrapped/hung/secured, and perfectly pressed.  Ideal!

Absolutely the best dry cleaners around! I’ve been using Lighthouse Cleaners for years, and they always do a fantastic job — everything comes back perfectly cleaned and pressed. But what really blew me away was their honesty and integrity: they found $100 in one of my pockets and stapled it right to my cleaning receipt when they returned my clothes! How great is that? You don’t find service — or people — like that anymore. Highly recommend them to anyone in the Old Saybrook area!

I am not one for writing many reviews but I just had to!! My favorite wool/cashmere blend coat was ruined by some stranger who spilled red wine all over me and I thought it was toast. Lighthouse Cleaners cleaned it in only one try no problem after another cleaners said it couldn't be done! Shoutout to them for always being friendly and reliable.

We love the service. Always happy with their dry cleaning. Reasonable pricing. They also contract out for sectional-rug cleaning. We had 3 rugs cleaned that we were very happy with.

Great service !!! Just moved to Niantic and I had a white shirt with a rust stain. My dry cleaner in Middletown was unable to get it out. I went to the local cleaner in Niantic and they were unable to get the stain out. I decided to go a to Lighthouse Cleaners and they were able to get the stain out. Turnaround time is excellent and price is very reasonable. Great customer service.

I’ve been going to Lighthouse Cleaners for the past 14 years - simply stated a first class organization managed by the owner Tracy!  Without a doubt the best cleaners along the entire shoreline!!

Picked up 6 chef coats and it didnt even look like one was cleaned. I have been to other places and they come out spotless. They charge double than what we have paid previously. I only tried this place since it was closer to my home. I will drive the extra 15 miles where I know the job is done.

If you are going to get a prom dress shortened ANYWHERE, go to this place. I can tell you that their work is phenomenal. The nice woman who did the adjustments on my daughter’s dress not only got the dress done almost a week earlier than it was expected to be, the quality was amazing and better than any place I had been to before for a fourth of the cost. They are timely, kind, and overall great people. I would recommend them to anybody looking for good dress alterations in the area.

Great dry cleaning -- fast and finished to high standards. The best of Best is your reception manager. She is such a pleasure to speak with --always a smile.  Thank you!

Excellent.  Pants were ironed with knife-like creases and they looked wonderful when I wore them to church with a tan sportcoat and necktie.  Service was prompt and cheerful.

The "BEST" dry cleaing service I have ever had. Drop off in the morning and ready to be picked up that evening. Very friendly staff, almost never have to even give my name. They know who you are. I highly recomend!

Always meets my expectations. I was disappointed when they removed the options of light, medium or heavy starch. Now it's just starch or no starch. I have since learned that us the industry wide trend but I don't like it. Once again the customer loses. Laundry is prompt and always on time. Very reasonably priced and if you prepay there's a 5% discount. If you are active duty or retired military, there's an even better 10% discount. Been coming here for over 50 years and just found out. Being retired military this is quite a revelation. I was active duty when I became a customer.

On at least 6 occasions I have had clothes come back with stains or still not clean.  I have immediately run them through my washer and eliminated the stain.  I have addressed this with Barry's several times.  I honestly don't believe them to be professional or ethical.  I would not recommend them to anyone and will never use them again.

Extremely rude. Worst customer service I've ever experienced. If you don't enjoy being snapped at or ridiculed for no reason other than dropping off your garments, take your business elsewhere.

Just had a military dress uniform dry cleaned and it looks great. They have a 2 day turn around which was convenient as well.

Horrible service, horrible attitude, doesn't get the clothing clean, and wants to charge you extra for not doing their job!! Steer clear!!!!

Got some alterarions done in New London and it was supposed to be tranfered to this location for pick up. Came and the guy asked my name because of course I forgot my slip. Which I will never do again. I gave him my name, he had a hard time hearing, seeing and spelling. He kept spelling it wrong and getting my first name wrong, I kept repeating myself. Finally after numerous corrections he tried to find my items. Told him I got the text for pickup. He can't find my items. Come to find out they never delivered it here per my requet for pickup and it was still in New London. Called them, they apologized and sent it here, So I had to come back, this time no notification it arrived so I waited to the next day and I was able to pick it up. Please come prepared with a slip because this  man had a very hard time hearing and understanding. Have patience. When I left he told me a joke and I laughed. Its definitely not fun to get older.

I had a dress hemmed and they did a great job. Also needed a quick press of another dress with very silky fabric. I would have scorched it. Great service.

Friendly and efficient staff. Very accommodating and the service is top notch. They offer same day service if you drop your items early in the morning. I'm temporarily in the area for work and they will definitely have my business whenever I'm in Niantic.

in all the decades since using their service I have been pleased .. their staff are all terrific.. helpful and attentive.. never lost anything and will go out of their way for you.. why someone would give them three stars after complimenting them s outrageous.. Ps.Their prices are competitive! Would be great if they could start including less toxic cleaners..

Outstanding service, and fair prices. I don't go anywhere else for dry cleaning or laundry. Friendly help as well.

Jen is amazing!  She is personable and a hard worker who is passionate about her business.  I am always amazed at how quick the service is, competitive the prices are, and how wonderful of a cleaning job is done.  She also alters dresses, and she did a fantastic job on my bridesmaid dress, and scheduled numerous alteration sessions at my request until I was 100% satisfied.  I couldn’t suggest this dry cleaners enough!

I have never left a google or Yelp review in my life but this was a lot for me. I called 2 weeks earlier and spoke to a woman on the phone I told her my situation that I would drop of my dry cleaning on Friday November 11th in between 5:00-5:30pm and asked if it could be completed by the following Monday night, she assured me not once but twice that it was fine and they would have it done. I walked in to the building at 5:20 and the girl working the counter asked if I’d like to have it on Tuesday and I told her that I spoke to someone on the phone and they said they could do it for Monday night. She was great and even called her manager for me and her manager told her no and she had no idea who I was. The worker was great very professional and even apologetic. But why assure someone of something if you cannot deliver on that promise. I left the dry cleaning bag they gave me and will find a better spot.

Delightful people and great services! We utilize the dry cleaning and tailor and they do excellent work every time.

I had Crystal Cleaners do alterations on a very complex beaded and lace top of my two piece wedding dress. I was blown away when I tried it on, seeing how it was truly meant to fit and look. Would use them again in a heartbeat! Thank you guys!!
