Seriously though, DO NOT GO HERE! First, I took a suit there to get some stains out, it came back in the EXACT same shape as I dropped it off. I thought maybe it was just a bad stain. No big deal. I took a couple nice shirts there, same thing. Then I pointed out the stain to them (which was clearly visible in the first place) and told them to see if they could try again. It came back and they stain was actually gone. Good. So I took one more set of shirts, pants and ties there. The pants looked the exact same. The shirt maybe smelled a little better. The tie had a whole bunch of water/beer stains on it from a weeding, clearly visible, before I took it in. When I came back, it looked THE EXACT SAME as when I took it in. Stains STILL clearly visible. So again, I asked them to redo it. I came back a couple days later and it looked like the put it through a garbage disposal. Seriously. Therefore I have come to realize, unless you actually point out a stain to them, they will not even touch it. They will take it to the back and hang it up. When you come back they bring it back out to you. The time in between it just sits there on the rack, maybe it will get a spritz of febreeze. And then when you do point out the stains, they will just absolutely demolish the piece of clothing. Not happy at all. But hey, if you want to take your clothes here, go right ahead.

This place is so frustrating. Today I went to the Gilbert street location in Iowa City and arrived at 12:01pm and the store closed at 12:00. All I needed to do was drop off three shirts, and of course I got stuck on Dubuque Street because of construction, Gilbert Street because of construction, and hit every red light. I called on my way at exactly 12:00pm with no answer and pulled in the parking lot at 12:01, saw a woman dart to the window to flip the closed sign, went up to the drive thru drop off, and the lady was standing there at the window and shook her head at me and pointed at the closed sign. Seriously lady? I am finding a new dry cleaner.

I took 2 pair of my dark colored jeans to have them dry cleaned. I am very particular about the wash of my jeans, and like them to stay dark. However, once I received the jeans I noticed the color faded. A LOT. I have gotten jeans dry cleaned many times at other places, but I am new to Iowa City and was referred to this place by a friend. The staff was friendly, and the prices were reasonable, but if youre looking to preserve the coloring of your items, I recommend you go elsewhere in Iowa City.

Blazer came back with random, deep creases on the arms. Pants now have 2 pleats. The stain on the button-up shirt is gone but it came back more wrinkled than when I took it in. Varsity cleaners has multiple drop off locations under other store names. I wouldnt recommend them.

Worst experience Ive ever had. Laundry from entire place is stolen at the same time and cameras dont work. They refuse to take responsibility for "inoperable" cameras and do not wish to refund anyone or even apologize. Unprofessional and dissatisfying.

DO NOT GO HERE. brought a polka dot prom dress and not only was it still messy but the polka dots CAME OFF which makes me think they didnt dry clean it but just washed it. Also had a tear in it that was not there before.

Not bad. Not great. Two machines were broken without signs. Place is not monitored much.

About what youd expect from a dry cleaner. Usually plenty of open units.
