Barker Dry Cleaning Parkstone

Never again. Rude and unhelpful staff, VERY expensive and my items were not as clean and fresh as when I have used other places. VERY VERY disappointing would recommend going elsewhere.

Incredible service. I needed a shirt dry cleaned rather last minute for a wedding and with no hesitation they were able to help me. What even impressed me more, was the actual people. Genuine and down to earth, one of best customer services I have ever received. Barkers dry cleaning you now have a customer for life.

Very disappointed with the service of our wedding attire. Asked for a three piece suit and a wedding dress and veil to be steamed. Staff took my dress out in front of me to look at the size to quote me appropriately, which was fine, but proceeded to fold my dress and throw it onto a pile of clothes (clean or dirty, I'm not sure). Upon receiving my clothes a few days later, they didn't know which was my dress, as they hadn't attached a ticket, and after I checked my dress was correct, a lady came up and quickly tried to hang up one side of the dress, after realising that they hadn't hung it correctly (it still wasn't hung correctly, adding stress to the stitching in the dress). Furthermore, my husbands suit was pierced with a safety pin, which was unnecessary and could have been attached through the tags or belt buckle. His waistcoat had not been pressed, and significant creases left in his jacket and trousers, along with dirty marks that were not on his new suit when we gave the clothes over to the staff. We ended up not only having to press his clothes, but cleaning them as well. The suit was new, and I had informed staff that they had the tags on and spare buttons in a pocket, which was heated and the plastic melted. This shows such lack of consideration for their customer's belongings, and is extremely disappointing upon paying for a service.

it's possibly not a ususal thing to say that going to the laundry is one of the highlights of the week, but I can definitely say that I certainly look forward to the experience. Excellent customer service, and to be known by name, and to engage in good conversation with the staff is a pleasure and to see a team working together as one is also a joy to watch, when compared to some places I have worked myself. Hats off to the staff, they know their jobs, and the intricacies of their work, and make customers fully welcom.

I took some feather pillows here to be cleaned and them came back like new! They had taken all the feathers out and washed then and put them into a new pillow bag. Very impressed.

Excellent fast service. Quilts back the next day and very clean! Thank you for being such a help!

I go regularly to Barkers to do a DIY wash and dry and have always found their staff courteous and helpful. Today I witnessed John offer to carry-out some heavy curtains to an elderly couple's car as he saw they might struggle with the weight. I suffer with MS and he always asks after my health and whether I need help. Thoroughly recommended.

Whilst the quality of the wash is very good (self service), the staff attitude is quite upsetting. Been in there a few times, and have found the service to be rude and unhelpful. Not that it should matter, but on occasion my Parkinson’s shake has been that obvious, still no assistance offered, even when clearly the staff are doing nothing else! Very disappointed ☹️

Just paid over £20 for a white coat to be dry cleaned and its still got water marks on cuffs and sleeves. Usually take it to stitch and sow Boscombe and get it cleaned for £10. And it's always cleaned beautifully. Not impressed. Won't be using Barkers again.

Great service, got my suit cleaned here before a wedding and they were able to do it just in time!
