Hot Summer Days = Alterations & Party Attire

Greetings, hope you are doing well! Its already June 26th. July 4th weekend is coming up, and we do have specific hours of operation. Feel free to stop by with your clothes to see our funny signs we made about that!

During this time, we do get asked to do rushed/special requests leaving little time to make everyone happy. If you are able to make time, do not wait till the last minute for us to inspect your clothes, take measurements, or do specialized alterations. The alterations Suzy does is art, and there is a reason why she is the best in the area for miles and miles. While we want to accommodate everyone, everyone's particular alterations needs attention, so please allow for that.

Thank you for your understanding!

oh, and thank you always for the nice comments on yelp, google and yahoo, etc. They do not go unnoticed. We read and appreciate them (every single one!)

Highland Square Cleaners

Our clients... they aren't just a number to us.

You are not an invoice number.
You are not just some 'guy or girl'
You are not just 'some person'

You are our valued client that
...travels more than 30 minutes out of your way to come to our store
...shares stories of your family with us
...trusts our intuition and experience
...spreads word of our expertise in alterations and dry-cleaning
...makes all our hard work worth it!

Thank you!

Another wonderful post by Ms. Catherine O on our yelp page. She goes into detail regarding the custom alterations on her bridesmaids dress. We will discuss this in our next post!

Just reading that post makes us overwhelmed with appreciation for her, and all of you.

Thank you!

We are blown away... With your kindness!

Hi. Hello. Hey. What's up. :)

Thank you for coming by today and reading this post. This is an important one.

We are much to busy to monitor yelp and other such reviews. We never really paid attention to them to be honest with you. I guess that's why we have pleasant reviews, because we are concentrating on being experts on your garments than anything else!  That makes sense.















Anyway - here are just some of our wonderful customers who took time our of their day to write an honest review:

http://www.yelp.com/biz/highland-square-cleaners-morton-grove


"Sue and Tom are the best. We never have to worry about our clothes, they treat them as if they were their own. Professional, friendly and a worry-free experience. We've been with them for four years. Alterations are great. Always on time. Highly recommend it."  -MG

 "Awesome job awesome owner's. Had my wife's wedding dress cleaned and boxed for storage and was extremely excited and very happy with the care and effort put into the presentation. Final product look like something out of Cinderella. Beautifully displayed in box. Highly recommend you use them for all your needs."  - Mark


April Is Here! Let's celebrate with cold weather!

We love the Chicago weather! You never know what you are going to get!

...Hey, you can't change it, so no sense in stressing over it, right?

I think its finally time the weather here will ease up. Its mid April and I don't think mother nature can get away with being so cold all the time.

Keep a few spring jackets out, but lets get those fluffy sweaters and parkas cleaned up for the winter season which is sure to sneak up on us. We specialize in these kinds of clothes. You can also bring in the clothes for summer to be altered... Suzy is kind of famous for this sort of thing. :)



While I have your attention, I'd like to share a little on my views on business practices. If you own a business - while no one is perfect, its important to know, you should still do your best. It boggles my mind when I walk into other businesses, and I feel invisible. Its appalling when I do business with someone, and I'm treated terribly, like I don't matter. Its crazy to me when I see employees who would rather be doing anything else than doing the job they were lucky enough to be hired to do.

It is our pledge, it has been our mission, to treat you with respect. To treat you the way we want to be treated: fairly. I think by looking at our reviews, its plain to see we go above and beyond. We give you service - top notch.


We aren't perfect, however, but that just gives us something to strive for! We will always do our best for you. You matter to us - and we are thankful for each and every one of our great customers.

Thank you!

Thomas & and the Highland Square Cleaners Team

Its February - Read this to find out who your VALENTINE is!

Ok - so, we have a question for you.

Who is your sweet, sweet, Valentine this year?

The same people it (should) be every year - the crew at Highland Square Cleaners!

Yes, of course your husband, wife, best friend, significant other is your #1 in your life...

But we should at least be a very close 2nd in your life!  We will settle for that. ;)



Just as a reminder during this 'lovey dovey' season, we are very much accommodating needs that no one else in the area can possibly touch - unsurpassed quality and attention when it comes to wedding dress preservation, as well as custom alterations.  We do all the other stuff too. Oh - and we do it exceptionally well. :)

Thank you for all the positive reviews, and speaking the truth when it comes to our love for our wonderful customers!

Meet Sara!


Highland Square Cleaners doesn't run on its own. Surprising, right?

While we do our best to make sure that your favorite cleaners works as a well oiled machine, behind the scenes, its just us working our tails off to make it seem that way. You keep coming back because we deliver what we say we'll deliver. We appreciate you, and that's where the human touch comes in.

To make sure we keep moving smoothly especially during this holiday season, we have the help of experts steaming, folding, and even with alterations. In the picture above, is Sara (on the right) and she has been a part of the team for a few months now. Sara and Suzy make quite the team, so if you have work that needs to be done, that needs a creative touch, now is the time!

Have a safe holiday season!



Happy Up-Coming Holidays!

Well well well!

The holidays are upon us - and no matter which you celebrate - Kwanzaa, Christmas, Diwali, Hanukkah, or perhaps some Canadian variety... We wish you to be safe!

Isn't that the most important thing?

Eat, drink, be merry.. But don't text or talk on a cell phone while driving. Don't drink and drive...

What else?

Oh yes, keep your house well illuminated inside AND out! Thieves aren't necessarily targeting you, but looking for the easiest score. Unfortunately, you being cautious won't stop the thief entirely, they just won't bother YOU. That is the only thing we can do.

In the meantime - we are being very busy and productive making sure your garments, table cloths, wedding dresses are cleaned, pressed and preserved. Beat the holiday rush- bring them in today!

We open as early as 7am on weekdays, and close at 7pm. On Saturday, its 8-6pm. We close on Sunday so please keep this in mind!

Suzy's Collection! (Thread Collection)


Look at this amazing collection of thread!

Suzy has been collecting thread over ... two decades for sure.. going on three?

We've been in business a long time, and this collection of string shows that.

Think about it, how many pants were hemmed, how many jackets have been repaired?

Too much to think about. Sure is fun though. Thank you so much! :)

See you soon!

Thomas and Suzy

We Notice You!

We notice you.

What do I mean by that?

We've been established here for more than 20 years- drycleaning everything under the sun. When we see new faces that come through our doors on a daily basis, we notice. We don't gloss over our customers. We don't take you for granted.

That's why we are always asking the questions: "How did you find out about us?"

And that's also why we want to know who you are, and we can best help you.

Sure, this isn't a new idea, but its what keeps us connected to our wonderful customers (you).

We look forward to seeing you this week!

Who's Suzy?

For those of you who don't know - Suzy is kind of a celebrity here in the Northwest Suburbs. Her reputation is known, and extends to other surrounding neighborhoods for her innovative alteration style.

Her attention to detail and experience is unmatched. Over the years, she has encountered just about every garment, brand, material, and issue there is.



Just one look at her hands, and you'll know. She's been burned by irons, pierced by needles, and scalded by steam. Suzy starts on your clothes early, and stays late stitching away until she has double vision.

While we have added expert team members who have helped with the overwhelming demand here at Highland Square Cleaners, they are always under Suzy's watchful eye. All articles of clothing must pass her inspection - no exceptions.



Its no wonder all customers who find us through 5 star reviews on Google, Yelp, Yahoo, Foursquare, etc. only look for Suzy. It's like a broken record!

"Where's Suzy?"
"Is Suzy here?"

"I want to talk to Suzy about my clothes/wedding dress/alterations."

Look, Suzy is great, but all this talk about her sometimes makes me feel left out! :)

Maybe its because people enjoy talking to her. Maybe they feel her work and words are a genuine extension of her love. Maybe its a mix. Still though, it wouldn't hurt for people to look for ME once in a while!  "Is Thomas here?" See? Sounds good!  :) I'm just kidding.

We are so grateful to have you as our customers, we prove it every day.



Cheers to Suzy!

We've been in business for decades, and we've seen them come and go. How have we been able sustain over the years? Are we perfect?

Spring Flowers... Love is in the air!

We wonder... will the weather make up its mind?

One day its warm, the next its back to being very very cold. Well, not that cold.

The new wardrobe is being brought out - ones with shorter sleeves, and shorter pant legs.


Just so you know we are being bombarded by customers dropping off all their winter clothes so they can be cleaned the right way and stored for the summer. Don't worry, we are making time for you and your clothes. We are standing by and are looking forward to seeing you in the weeks to come.

If you have any questions about your certain garments, come in and ask away!

Thomas & Suzy
