About A Cleaner World
Built on Service Since 1969
A Cleaner World began in High Point, North Carolina, in 1969 with a simple idea: dry cleaning and laundry should come with exceptional service, dependable quality, and people you can trust. From that first location, we grew throughout North Carolina and Southwest Virginia while staying true to those roots.
Over the years, we’ve continued to make garment care easier—adding same-day service, free home pickup and delivery, rug cleaning, wedding gown care, and, most recently, 24/7 automated locations. We’ve also remained deeply committed to the communities we serve. Our Give A Kid A Coat campaign, started in 1987, collected its one-millionth coat in 2025.
Today, A Cleaner World serves customers through 27 locations and home delivery routes. A lot has changed since 1969, but our commitment hasn’t: Right the First Time or it's Free

Jade H.My dress looks like it has never been worn! My gown was looking rough after being in the sand and ocean water during our beach-themed ceremony. A Cleaner World did an amazing job at restoring it to appear clean and as gorgeous as went, I first stepped into it.
C. MIllerI had my wedding gown cleaned and pressed about a month before my wedding date. A Cleaner World worked with my time frame and the dress came out beautifully! The manager followed up with me and gave me instructions on how to store my gown until my wedding day.
Sally W.I chose A Cleaner World because of their good reputation. They were able to get a wedding dress clean that was filthy on the bottom of the train and preserve the dress. They also dry cleaned a 30-year-old veil that turned out beautiful. I highly recommend their service and it was affordable.
“I enjoy seeing my friends when I visit A Cleaner World, but sometimes when I’m busy I use the 24 hour night drop. The express bag service is truly convenient and the quality is consistent. It’s cool they have alternatives when I’m short on time.”
