Minute Men Cleaners

Although we weren't around during the Revolutionary War when the local militia, known as the Minute Men (commemorated left in this statue in Westport, CT), bravely battled the mighty British army, Minute Men Cleaners has been part of the community since 1960. Founded by Fred Shepard, Minute Men was one of the new wave of "drive-in" cleaners taking the place of home delivery laundry businesses such as the one run by Fred's father since the 1930's. They were slowly becoming obsolete due to advent of the home washing machine and the growing presence of the family automobile.

In addition to our outstanding dry cleaning service, Minute Men offers a variety of convenient services for our valued customers. We do all our work on premises, except for a few specialty items, so we're confident of the quality and timeliness of the services being performed. We use the best cleaning system, detergents, and equipment to ensure your garments come back as clean, bright, soft, and stain-free as possible. Add in hand-finished pressing and ironing and free minor repairs, and your clothing will look and feel their best the next time you wear them.

Our friendly driver picks up your bag and then delivers your clean clothes back on the following delivery day.*. With convenient monthly billing to your credit card there are no bills to open or checks to write. All major credit cards are accepted, and if you'd like we can email you copies of each cleaning ticket, and/or, a monthly recap of all transactions during that month.

Here is my big 'THANK YOU' to the employees of Minute Men Cleaners for my recent experience. I had tried to clean a stain myself on a beautiful white coat. The label clearly said dry clean only. Needless to say I was convinced I had ruined my coat. The manager Dominic, as always, came to the rescue and very graciously took upon a challenge of fixing my wrongdoing.
