Testimonials

A Rodeo Valentino boutique’s heartbroken client brought into their store what was a brand-new purse that she had recently purchased from them. Unfortunately, this beautiful lambskin bag with contrasting quilted stitching and studded accents was destroyed entirely (or so they all thought) by a hand sanitizer spill. The client was going to throw it away...until they recommended Margaret’s Cleaners. They had learned over the years that if there was any chance of successful cleaning or repairs of high-end items, Margaret’s was the only place to go.

Margaret’s did not disappoint them!
When it was delivered back to the store the
employees raved!
Here are some of the comments we heard...
“Blown away”...
“An amazing save”... “Truly astonishing”...
“Looks new again”...
“As though damage never happened”...
“Absolutely spectacular work!”
Margaret’s is hands down, THE BEST!”
— The staff at the Rodeo Drive

Valentino Boutique

I brought my wedding dress here for bridal alterations and had the pleasure of working with Naomi, the seamstress. Naomi was sweet, funny, and patient. She brought the hem in for my chest, waistline, and length and also added bra cups to my dress. My wedding dress was tailored perfectly to my body and I felt comfortable and beautiful in my dress on the day of the wedding. I'm so happy with how it turned out and am so happy I went with this company!

OUR WORLD VALUES

I was not able to find someone locally [to fix my purse]. I did an internet search and based on your website and prompt response to my email, determined that your company was probably the best! I was very pleased with how everything was handled. In today's world, it is wonderful to find a company with "old world" values. Thank you so much!

BEAUTIFUL RESULTS!

UPS just delivered my second Prada handbag to be cleaned by your business. I can't tell you how
impressed I am by the beautiful results! The woman that called to tell me it was being shipped was so helpful and thorough. She was delightful and really went out of her way with customer service.

Though I live the majority of the time in Denver, I will always make a point of using your business whenever I am staying at our second home in La Jolla.
