Green Dry Cleaning in Manhattan, Delivered to Your Door
Manhattan has a dry cleaner on what feels like every other block, but convenience isn’t the same as care, and the shop downstairs still keeps hours that never quite match yours. Fold NY brings dry cleaning in Manhattan to you. Our drivers pick up your garments for free, whether you’re in a Tribeca loft, a Murray Hill high-rise or a Harlem brownstone, and bring them back cleaned with perc-free, eco-friendly solvents, inspected, and hand-finished. Typical turnaround is about 2 days, and rush is available on request.
No ticket stubs, no racing to the counter before 7PM, no carrying a winter coat on a crowded train.
Perc-Free, Eco-Friendly Solvents
Traditional dry cleaning has long relied on perchloroethylene, or perc. Our green dry cleaning is perc-free and uses eco-friendly solvents instead. For anyone who wears tailored clothing to the office several days a week, that’s a meaningful switch: the garments you dry clean most often are the ones that sit closest to you all day.
Each piece is inspected before cleaning, so we catch stains, loose buttons and delicate details, and every item is hand-finished before it heads back to you. Learn more on our eco dry cleaning page.
Built for Manhattan Schedules
Pickup and delivery, free
Our own drivers handle every pickup and delivery. For doorman buildings, leaving your garments with the front desk is often the easiest option; for walk-ups, we’ll coordinate a handoff that works for you. Book online at foldny.com or in the Fold NY app, and track your order from start to finish.
About 2 days, rush on request
Most dry cleaning comes back in about 2 days. Board meeting Thursday? Black-tie event Saturday? Ask for rush when you book and we’ll tell you what we can do.
One service for everything
You don’t need a separate laundry service and a separate dry cleaner. Send your shirts and suits for dry cleaning and your everyday clothes, towels and sheets for wash and fold in the same pickup.
What Manhattan Sends Us
- Office wardrobe: suits, blazers, trousers, skirts and dress shirts for the week ahead in Midtown or the Financial District.
- Delicates: silk blouses, cashmere, fine wool and anything labeled dry clean only.
- Coats: wool overcoats and structured jackets that won’t fit in a washer.
- Evening and event wear: gowns, cocktail dresses and tuxedos after a gala, benefit or wedding.
- Wedding gowns: from $200, with an exact quote before you book. Visit our wedding dress cleaning page.
Leaving the city for a few days? Schedule a pickup before you go and your dry cleaning can be ready when you get back. It’s one of the easiest ways to come home from a work trip to a closet that’s already sorted.
Why Manhattan Chooses Fold NY
- Green and perc-free, using eco-friendly solvents.
- Inspected and hand-finished, piece by piece.
- Our own drivers, so your clothes aren’t passed through a chain of couriers.

Laundry Too, Washed in Our Own Laundromat
Wash and fold orders are washed in our own Ridgewood laundromat, never outsourced, and every load goes through ozone, a natural sanitizer that helps remove bacteria, odors and allergens with fewer harsh chemicals. Next-day wash and fold is $1.75/lb, with pickup and delivery included. If you need it back faster, same-day service is $3.95/lb in selected ZIP codes, with pickup between 9AM and 12PM and return between 7PM and 9PM. Your first delivery order is automatically 20% off. See our Manhattan wash and fold page for more.
Dry Clean or Wash? A Quick Guide
Plenty of Manhattan closets are full of clothes that get dry cleaned out of habit. Here’s a simple way to sort what goes where:
- Dry clean: suit jackets and structured blazers, wool coats, silk, cashmere, rayon blends that can shrink, and anything with beading, lining or delicate trim. When the care label says dry clean only, follow it.
- Wash and fold: everyday cotton tees, jeans, workout clothes, pajamas, sheets and towels.
- Ask us: pieces where the label is missing or unclear. Add a note when you book and we’ll guide you.
Sending each item the right way keeps your clothes in better shape, and you only pay for dry cleaning where it actually makes a difference. Busy professionals in Midtown and the Financial District often set up a routine: work clothes out for dry cleaning, everything else in the wash and fold bag, all on the same pickup.
How It Works
- 1. Schedule a pickup. Book at foldny.com or in the Fold NY app, and add notes on stains or special pieces.
- 2. We clean green. Garments are inspected, dry cleaned with perc-free, eco-friendly solvents and hand-finished.
- 3. Delivered back. Our drivers return your clothes, typically in about 2 days.
