Swiss Cleaners & Uniform Services generally receives very positive reviews. The place is apparently clean, the staff helpful, the machines efficient, and its card-based system seems well liked, with special regard to the bonus offered for loading larger amounts. Although specific prices are given for each of the washers and dryers, they would seem competitive. It is fitted with a waiting area for customers that has, among other things, a TV, newspapers, books, and even vending machines. The combination of self-service laundry, professional dry cleaning, and added features available at some locations, like the drive-thru, seems to cater to a wide range of customer needs.
