About Curtis Cleaners

Serving West Michigan Since 1951

For more than 75 years, Curtis Cleaners has proudly served West Michigan families and businesses with a commitment to quality, convenience, and personal service.

Founded in 1951 by Richard Curtis, Curtis Cleaners began with a simple goal: provide dependable garment care with attention to detail and customer service that people could trust. What started as a single dry cleaning plant on Michigan Street in Grand Rapids has grown into a multi-generational family business serving communities throughout the region.

In 1977, Richard’s son John Curtis and son-in-law Kevin Smith continued building the company with the same focus on quality workmanship and customer relationships. Today, the third generation — Chris and Andy Curtis — continues to lead the day-to-day operations of the business while carrying forward the values the company was built on more than seven decades ago.

Quality & Service

At Curtis Cleaners, quality has always been more than a slogan. We believe customers should feel confident that their garments, household items, and specialty pieces are being cared for properly.

Over the years, we have continued investing in modern cleaning technology, garment care techniques, and professional processes designed to provide the best possible results while maintaining the level of service our customers have come to expect.

We stand behind our work and take pride in serving generations of customers throughout West Michigan.

Free Pickup & Delivery

One of the things that sets Curtis Cleaners apart is our free pickup and delivery service.

Our delivery routes are designed to make dry cleaning and laundry service simple and convenient. We stop by homes and businesses on scheduled route days, making it easy for customers to use the service as often — or as occasionally — as they need.

Whether you use pickup and delivery weekly or only once in a while, our goal is the same: save you time while providing dependable service you can count on.

A West Michigan Tradition

For 75 years, Curtis Cleaners has remained family owned and locally operated. We are grateful for the trust generations of customers have placed in our company and proud to continue serving the communities we call home.

As we celebrate our 75th anniversary in 2026, we remain committed to the same principles that started the business in 1951: quality work, dependable service, and treating customers the right way.
