Review of Slate NYC

Slate is the best clothes cleaning service. Period.

After learning about the toxins and chemicals used in traditional dry cleaning, I decided to try Slate New York. In addition to being eco-friendly it's also incredibly customer-friendly. The idea is that they don't just clean your clothes; they return your clothes to you, brand new!
They were able to get stains out that I have not found any other dry cleaner able to do (spaghetti on a white cashmere sweater!!). They will also fix buttons, loose seams, take anything you leave in your pockets and return it all to you... without you having to ask for a thing.
I only use their dry cleaning service as I prefer doing my own laundry, but you can also give them a full hamper of clothes and they will sort out what needs to be washed and what should be dry cleaned.
And the prices are great -- comparable to a regular dry cleaner.
Customer service is *phenomenal*. Think Apple meets Method meets your local dry cleaner. The location is not ideal, but it's worth the extra travel.
