About us
A Lexington counter.
What started as a small family business in Lexington, Kentucky, still runs on the same idea: every garment gets looked at properly, cleaned the right way, and handed back by someone who cares how it looks.
Our story
Same principles, new tools.
Since opening in Lexington, Bluegrass Dry Cleaners has been committed to careful garment care. The business has grown to two counters and a pickup and delivery service, but the founding principles haven't moved: uncompromising quality, personal attention, and responsibility for the environment.
Today we combine traditional expertise, the hand-finishing and the eye for a stain, with modern equipment and gentler cleaning methods, and we serve our community with pride.
Our mission
To provide exceptional garment care that exceeds expectations, combining traditional expertise with new methods, while staying responsible to the environment and to every customer.
Our aim
To be Kentucky's most trusted garment care provider, known for quality, sustainability and care, and for relationships with our community that last.
Our process
Four checks, every time.
Whether it's a work shirt or an heirloom, it goes through the same hands in the same order.

Inspection
Each garment is examined for fabric, stains and its specific care needs before anything else happens.
