Green Dry Cleaning in Brooklyn, Picked Up at Your Door
Finding good dry cleaning in Brooklyn usually means picking between the shop that’s closest and the shop you actually trust. Then you have to get there before it closes, remember the ticket, and make a second trip to pick up. Fold NY takes the trip out of it. Our green dry cleaning is perc-free and uses eco-friendly solvents, every item is inspected and hand-finished, and our own drivers pick up and deliver for free anywhere in Brooklyn. Typical turnaround is about 2 days, with rush available on request.
From brownstone blocks in Park Slope to waterfront towers in Williamsburg, you leave your garments at the door and they come back ready to wear.
What “Green” Dry Cleaning Means
For a long time, the standard solvent in dry cleaning was perchloroethylene, often called perc. Our dry cleaning is perc-free. We use eco-friendly solvents instead, which is better news for the clothes you wear close to your skin every day and for the city we all share.
Green doesn’t mean cutting corners on the finish. Each piece is inspected before cleaning, and every garment is hand-finished before it comes back to you. Read more about the process on our eco dry cleaning page.
What Brooklyn Sends Us
- Work clothes: suits, blazers, dress shirts, trousers and skirts for the commute to Downtown Brooklyn or across the bridge.
- Dresses and delicates: silk, wool and anything labeled dry clean only.
- Outerwear: wool coats and jackets when the seasons change.
- Special occasion wear: formal dresses, tuxedos and suits after a big night out.
- Wedding gowns: green dry cleaning for gowns starts at $200, with an exact quote before you book. See our wedding dress cleaning page.
If you work from home in Bushwick most of the week and only suit up for the occasional meeting, or you commute daily from Brooklyn Heights to an office downtown, the routine is the same: set your garments aside, book a pickup, and they come back ready for the next time you need them.
Why Brooklyn Chooses Fold NY
Pickup and delivery that fits Brooklyn life
Brooklyn apartments are walk-ups, doorman buildings, converted lofts and townhouses, and very few of them come with a convenient place to drop off dry cleaning. Our own drivers pick up from your door and bring your clothes back, so you never have to plan your day around a shop’s hours. Pickup and delivery are free.
Perc-free, inspected and hand-finished
Every garment gets a look before it’s cleaned and a hand finish after. It’s the kind of care you’d expect from a neighborhood cleaner you’ve used for years.
Clear timing
Dry cleaning typically takes about 2 days. If you have an interview, a wedding or a flight coming up, ask for rush when you book.
Close to home
Fold NY’s laundromat sits at 53-25 Metropolitan Ave in Ridgewood, Queens, right on the Bushwick border. We’re Black-owned and women-owned, and for many Brooklyn customers we’re closer than it sounds.
Bundle Dry Cleaning With Laundry
Most people have both kinds of laundry: the things that go in the washer and the things that don’t. You can send both with Fold NY. Our wash and fold is $1.75/lb for next-day service with pickup and delivery included, and every load is washed with ozone in our own Ridgewood laundromat, a natural sanitizer that helps remove bacteria, odors and allergens with fewer harsh chemicals. Your first delivery order is automatically 20% off.

Making Your Dry Cleaning Last
The best way to keep a suit or a good dress looking sharp is to clean it when it needs it, not on autopilot. A few habits help:
- Air it out between wears. Hang jackets and trousers somewhere with a little breathing room instead of straight back into a packed closet. Brooklyn closets are small, but even a hook on the back of a door helps.
- Deal with spills quickly. Blot, don’t rub, and point out the spot when you book so it gets attention during inspection.
- Clean before storing. Before you pack away winter coats or summer linens, have them cleaned. Stains you can’t see yet can set over months in storage.
- Use proper hangers. Shaped hangers keep shoulders from stretching, especially on heavier wool coats.
- Read the label. If it says dry clean only, it’s worth listening, especially for structured tailoring, silk and some wools.
Not sure whether something should be dry cleaned or washed? Ask when you book and we’ll point you in the right direction.
