Services
Dry Cleaning
Our professional dry cleaning service uses advanced solvent-based systems to safely clean delicate fabrics like silk, wool, and rayon. Specialized equipment ensures proper finishing for garments labeled 'dry clean only.' Expert stain removal techniques preserve fabric integrity while maintaining color vibrancy. Commercial-grade processes handle high-volume needs for businesses and special events.
Wet Cleaning
As Newfoundland's only professional wet cleaner, we use water-based technology with biodegradable detergents for environmentally responsible garment care. This method safely cleans 'dry clean only' items without toxic chemicals, removing organic stains while preventing fabric shrinkage. Specialized machines adjust water temperature and mechanical action for optimal results on various fabric types.
Alterations
Our experienced seamstresses provide precise garment modifications including hemming, resizing, zipper replacement, and seam repairs. Specialized equipment handles both simple adjustments and complex alterations for perfect fit. Services cover casual wear, formal attire, and specialty garments with attention to maintaining original construction details.
Household Items Cleaning
We clean large household textiles including down comforters, duvets, pillows, and blankets using commercial-grade equipment. Specialized processes remove allergens and restore freshness to bedding materials. Our services extend to sofa covers, quilts, and eiderdowns, with proper handling of oversized items requiring specialized cleaning techniques.
Commercial Services
Our commercial division provides linen rentals, uniform programs, and entrance mat services for businesses. Custom solutions include hotel bedding, restaurant table linens, and workwear programs.

Guys, if you're gonna change your hours, that's fine but you have to update google. Google says 6pm and the shop says 4pm. I drove here for nothing so I will choose to never bring my business to you.

Dropped off 2 purses for cleaning, took 2 weeks and they were worse than before cleaning. The wrong cleaner was used on one and ruined the leather. I cleaned the other myself at home and it came cleaner than what the 'professionals' did.Charged me $30 each purse, I won't be back!

I have been a customer of Deluxe Dry Cleaners for almost three years now since I moved to St. Johns from Montreal. The prices are much lower than I anticipated in comparison to Montreal, and the service is the best I've ever received. I travel a lot for work, so I frequent many dry cleaning establishments. Deluxe has the friendliest staff and offers same day service at no additional charge; and is the superior option for dry cleaning services in the St. John's area.

Deluxe Dry Cleaners offers slower than necessary turn around times, especially when the sky-high prices it charges are taken into account. They can get away with it, however, as there are only two dry cleaners in St. John's that I know of, with one more in the St. John's metro area, and they all charge similar prices. That being said, as Deluxe charges between 50 and $6 more for each of the items that I would typically have cleaned, they're not likely to get my business until they bring their prices down a great deal. Dry cleaning prices in St. John's are ridiculous enough
