A Dry Cleaner You Can Trust
Gentle on your clothes. Honest with our care.
Dry cleaning doesn’t have to mean harsh chemicals or worrying about your favorite outfit. At Columbia Pike Laundry, we use the GreenEarth Cleaning method, a safer, more eco-friendly way to care for your garments. From delicate silks to tailored suits, we handle everything with expert attention. And if there’s ever a risk to your garment, we’ll tell you up front and get your okay before moving forward. That’s our promise of open and honest care.
Why Choose Columbia Pike Laundry for Dry Cleaning?
Honest Communication, Always
One of the biggest frustrations with dry cleaners is not knowing what’s happening with your clothes. At CPL, if we see anything risky — like a fabric that may discolor or a delicate embellishment — we’ll talk to you first. You’ll never be left in the dark about your garments.
Care That Goes Beyond Cleaning
Clothes often carry memories — a suit you wore for an interview, a dress from a big night out, or a coat that’s been with you for years. We treat each item as if it were our own, giving it the careful attention it deserves so it comes back looking sharp, refreshed, and ready to wear.
A Safer Way to Dry Clean
Many dry cleaners still rely on harsh chemicals that can be tough on fabrics and leave behind strong odors. We use the GreenEarth system — an eco-friendly process that’s gentler on your clothes, safer for your skin, and kinder to the environment.

Why Send Clothing To The Dry Cleaner?
Suits & Blazers
Structured garments like suits, blazers, and jackets hold their shape best with dry cleaning. Our GreenEarth process preserves the fabric’s crisp look while keeping colors sharp.
Dresses & Evening Wear
Silks, satins, lace, and beaded gowns demand special care. Dry cleaning gently refreshes them so you can enjoy your big moments without worry.
Outerwear & Coats
Wool coats, trench coats, and down jackets are too bulky for home machines and too delicate for harsh chemicals. Dry cleaning keeps them fresh, clean, and ready for the next season.
Sweaters & Knits
From cashmere to merino wool, delicate knits can shrink or lose their shape in a washer. Dry cleaning keeps them soft and looking new.
Delicate Fabrics & Specialty Items
Scarves, ties, and embellished pieces require careful handling. Our team inspects each item, and if there’s any risk of discoloration, we’ll reach out before moving forward.
