Getting started

Two ways to use us

Option one

Drop it off

Walk into any of our ten stores. No account, no signup, no app. Hand it across the counter and we’ll tell you when it’s ready.

  • Dry cleaning, laundry, alterations, and household items
  • Same counter handles pickup and payment
  • Published pricing, no quote required
Option two

Leave it at your door

The Elite Pickup & Delivery Club. We text you the night before, you reply Y, and your bag goes out by 7 AM. It comes back cleaned on our next run through your area.

  • A barcoded yellow Model bag, tied to your account
  • Residential, apartment, condo, and office routes
  • Skip any week. You only pay for what you send
Why people stay

Why your clothes come back right

GreenEarth process

A silicone-based cleaning process with no harsh petrochemical solvent smell. Gentle enough for lace, beading, and fine wool.

RFID garment tracking

Every piece is tagged and tracked to your account from the counter to the rack, so orders come back complete.

Trained to industry standards

We are members of the Drycleaning and Laundry Institute, so difficult stains and delicate fabrics get handled by current research, not guesswork.

100 years of seamstresses

Alterations are done in-house by local seamstresses, not sent out. A century of combined experience across the bench.

Pickup & delivery

What happens after you sign up

  1. Tell us where you are

    One signup with your address. We drop off a yellow Model bag, barcoded to your account.

  2. We text the night before

    The evening before your area’s service day, you get a message. Reply Y and you’re on the schedule.

  3. Bag out by 7 AM

    Leave it at your door. Your driver collects it on the route. Nothing else for you to do.

  4. Back on the next run

    Cleaned, pressed or folded, and returned with a fresh bag for the following week.

Since 1986

One storefront in Charleroi. Forty years later, ten.

The LaCarte family opened Model Cleaners in 1986 and never sold it. Every location since has opened one at a time, staffed by people from the towns they sit in.

We work with Life’sWork of Western PA to provide jobs to more than fifty local residents with disabilities, and each year we run the Backpack Brigade, coat drives, and holiday turkey giveaways across the region.
