Emerald Dry Cleaning prides itself on value, especially if you become a member of the store's V.I.P. club - you'll get some shirts cleaned for free, an ongoing 25 percent discount and a free Green Garmento, a new brand of garment bag that's leading the path into 'greener' dry cleaning practices. Emerald specializes in cleaning Ugg Boots, and the woman who presides over alterations also makes custom Irish dance dresses. A 24-hour turnaround is usually available if the drop-off is no later than 4:30pm the previous day.
Mr. Sweeper Sew and Vac has been in business since 1974 with its main offices located in Waltham. The service specializes in repairing sewing machines and vacuums, but it's also a showroom for new models and all related supplies.
