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!

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!

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!

Happy Valentine's Day from your favorite Cleaners!

Happy Valentine's Day - a day when we show our love and appreciation for all our customers.

This is a quick blog post to say thank you. That's it!

How Cold Is Too Cold? - How Do We Treat Your Clothes?

Its never too cold for us! Come on by, because you will see us steaming away!




Oh, by the way. Happy New Year!

Ok, back to business...

If you have any sweaters, etc that had certain items spilled on them, bring them in. Be sure to tell us what exactly the stain is so that we can have the best plan of attack when cleaning.

"What? You mean you don't just throw them in the washing machines and let them sit?"

Um. NO. We don't. Every garment deserves their individual attention. Every piece of clothing is made of different material, and every stain could be acidic or not. Detergents, or other methods to remove stubborn stains without ruining clothes is a science and an art form.

Who will you trust with your clothing? Read our reviews on Yelp, Yahoo & Google. There's a reason people bring their wedding dresses to us to get preserved!

See you soon!
