Questions
How does a 4.8 rating beat a 4.9?
Goodfellow has 150 reviews, which gives them a confidence of 74%. So about a quarter of their score is coming from the Ottawa-area average of 4.26. Peloso's 866 reviews mean almost all of their score comes from their rating of 4.8.
Why isn't Browns Cleaners on the list?
Browns Cleaners is a chain with 10 or more locations in Canada, which we do not include in our lists. Stitch It Clothing Alterations & Dry Cleaning is not included for the same reason.
How much should I trust the order below the top three?
Carefully. There are 41 shops ranked: 20 have low confidence, 20 medium and only 1 high. So towards the bottom of the list you will see many scores that are heavily influenced by the area average, and small gaps are close calls.
