Fleming Cleaners:
Centralia’s Trusted Garment Care Experts for Over 70 Years
At Fleming Cleaners, our story has always been stitched into the fabric of Centralia. For more than 70 years, we have provided professional dry cleaning, laundry, stain removal, and garment care for local families, business professionals, churches, schools, and organizations that trust us with the pieces that matter. We were founded in the 1950s to bring high-caliber garment care to our community, and that purpose still guides us today. Our work is simple to describe but meaningful to deliver: we help your clothing look better, last longer, and feel ready for life’s important moments.
Our Story Started With a Need in Centralia
When Fleming Cleaners first opened, Centralia needed a cleaner that could offer the kind of quality garment care people previously had to search for outside the area. Our founders saw that need and built a business around craftsmanship, consistency, and neighborly service.
Back then, dry cleaning was not just a convenience. It was a trusted service people relied on to protect their Sunday best, work uniforms, formal wear, coats, suits, and family keepsakes. That same trust is still at the heart of what we do.
Over the decades, we have cleaned clothing for generations of Centralia families. We have cared for christening gowns, prom dresses, wedding dresses, business suits, band uniforms, church garments, winter coats, and everyday pieces people simply love wearing. Every garment has a story, and we never forget that.
How We Have Grown Without Losing Our Touch
Fleming Cleaners has changed with the times, but we have never changed what matters most. We have evolved from a small local shop into a 70+ year Centralia institution by adopting modern cleaning technologies while preserving the hand-finished quality that made professional garment care so respected in the first place.
The cleaning industry has seen major changes, especially in the shift from traditional solvents to more modern, environmentally conscious practices. We have navigated those changes with care because we believe quality and responsibility should work together.
We are not a big box cleaner, and we do not want to feel like one. We know many of our customers by name. We remember special requests. We pay attention to fabric, construction, buttons, zippers, hems, seams, stains, and finishes. That personal touch is one of the reasons people keep coming back.
What Makes
Fleming Cleaners Different
You do not stay in business for more than seven decades without a relentless commitment to quality. At Fleming Cleaners, we believe local trust is earned, not given. Our difference comes from the way we combine experience, careful inspection, and honest service. We understand fabric chemistry, garment construction, stain behavior, and the small details that can determine whether an item comes back looking refreshed or truly restored.

We are especially proud of our work with delicate garments, heirlooms, formalwear, and tough stains. Some cleaners shy away from specialty pieces because they require patience and judgment. We lean on decades of experience to give each item the thoughtful care it deserves. Our promise is clear: we treat every garment as if it were our own.
Our Values Show Up in the Details
Integrity, meticulous attention to detail, and a “do it right the first time” mentality have shaped Fleming Cleaners from the beginning.
Before an item is returned, we inspect it carefully. Buttons, zippers, seams, stains, fabric condition, and finishing details all matter to us. A garment should not just be clean. It should be ready to wear with confidence.
We also believe in clear communication. When you visit our Poplar Street location, you can expect a friendly greeting, transparent pricing, and a clear timeline for pickup. If a specialty item needs extra attention, we will talk through it honestly.
And if you are not satisfied, we will re-clean the item immediately at no cost. Standing behind our work is not a marketing line. It is part of who we are.
We Are Your Neighbors
Fleming Cleaners has always been a local business with local values. Our team is hardworking, detail-oriented, friendly, and proud to serve the community we call home.
We look for people who take pride in their work and understand what we like to call the Centralia way: honesty, consistency, and a strong work ethic. Our staff includes career professionals who know garments are more than fabric. They are investments, memories, uniforms, milestones, and everyday essentials.
That mindset matters. It is why we slow down for the details. It is why we answer questions. It is why we care just as much about a favorite blouse as we do about a wedding dress.
