Our history
1934 - Bernard Butler
Bernie founded Hudson Cleaners in 1934 when his side business of taking in dry cleaning began to make more money than being a barber.
1934 - Orignal Plant
The corner of Hudson and Cleveland Ave. was the site of the main plant for almost 50 years.
1934 - Delivery
An early influence on the current delivery business, Hudson Cleaners also offered free delivery service to northeast Columbus.
1981 - Discovery
Brian Butler helps scout out the new plant location in 1981. We’re the first on the Southeast corner of Sawmill and I-270.
1982 - Ground Breaking
The footers are dug and poured. We are right on schedule to be open in March 1982!
1983 - Grand Opening
We’re open for business. Right from the beginning volume grows as business pours in……
1985 - Working Hard
Jim and Jimmy Jr. keep the machines running all day long. Everywhere you look this is a ‘family’ business.
1986 - Getting Involved
In every way, Dubin Cleaners and the employees participate in community events. Remember the three lane bridge in old Dublin? More about us in the community.
1987 - Giving Back
Philanthropy becomes a large part of the company mission. We give back to Dublin and N.W. Columbus, the community responsible for our success.
1990 - Our First Year
The sun sets on our successful first year. Bob Evans, Bank One, and the Dublin AMC Theatre are still a long time away from developing Tuller Rd.
1992 - New Locations
In order to better serve NW Columbus we expand to Linworth, S. Dubin, and many more.
1992 - More Space
The ’80s and ’90s saw more than five additions and renovations to our plant.
1992 - New Equipment
Before the building is finished, employees train on new state of the art laundry equipment. This is the first of many new equipment upgrades.
1993 - Prestigious Aware
Dublin recognizes Margaret and Greg as Business Persons of the Year. They are recognized with this great honor for growing the business leaps and bounds along with strong community support.
1994 - New Corporate Offices
In 1994 growth caused another construction project. New office suites, board room, and major additions to the delivery receiving area make much more space at the plant.
1995 - Delivery Business
Another investment pays off with great vision. Offering free home and office delivery fills trucks on six routes a week.
1996 - Progress So Far
…for now at least. This is the current look of our corporate buiding, at least until we outgrow it again.

Pleasant professional employees. I always count on you for my dry cleaning. You bundled my grandmother’s clothes from the early 1900s. You just dry cleaned two dresses for a family wedding have trusted you over many years to do the expert work then and now. Thank you!
Sooo helpful. Great price and great quality. Fixed big hole in my jacket that I cannot even see and it wasn’t on a seam 😍
Excellent service! The best dry cleaners in the city! Thanks so much!
The alteration was absolutely perfect.
The usual prompt and professional service that never disappoints.
Thanks Dublin Cleaners.
We switched from Swan Cleaners (after many years and got tired of feeling like they were doing me a favor). Omar was friendly and polite and helped us set up our account and we are happy to be a customer!!
I have had a many items cleaned and restored at Dublin Cleaners over the years, one item was my 40 year old wedding dress that had hung in the closet with a big red wine stain down the front. Greg removed the stain and cleaned the dress from a dingy yellow to its original white. I had two baptismal dresses restored and recently a baptismal bonnet that my mother in law had made back in 1938 for her first born. All look beautiful and will be worn again for an upcoming baptism. Greg and Margaret are wonderful to work with. I take all of my dry cleaning and restoration work to them.
Heather and Omar always do a great job with my shirts. They are always very courteous with me.
