The first Carriage Trade Cleaners was opened at 1271 Simcoe Street North in April of 1982. This was our original plant when we were a conventional "Solvent" dry cleaner.

The first Solvent Free Carriage Trade Cleaning Centre was opened in November of 2002. The very first 100% solvent free cleaning centre in North America.

 

Our 2nd location opened on January 22nd, 2005. Located at 1414 King Street East, Courtice, in the Courtice Town Centre (next to the Dairy Queen).

If you are among the many Canadians who believes that having your garments cleaned shouldn’t have to come with environmental and family health concerns, you’ll appreciate the solvent-free difference at Carriage Trade Cleaners.

This process is extremely gentle on clothing so your clothing will last longer. Many customers notice a fresh natural scent and a soft feel that is pleasant and kind to sensitive skin. They finish each garment for that crisp, tailored appearance you expect.

From natural and synthetic materials, to leather, suede and more,the German-made Miele wet cleaning system at Carriage Trade Cleaners can clean all business, formal and casual garments, comforters, uniforms, draperies with perfect pleats and more. Alterations, repairs and expert tailoring are available-minor repairs are often free. Wedding gowns can be cleaned and preserved with keepsake container or embroidered cotton garment bag.

Carriage Trade Cleaners also offer an in-car Drive-Thru service for pick-ups and drop-offs (with complimentary gourmet coffee), plus 24-hour drop-off via pre-arranged access key.
