Green Dry Cleaning in Queens, From the People on Metropolitan Ave
Queens is huge, and good dry cleaning in Queens can be oddly hard to fit into a week. The cleaner near your train stop closes before you get home, the one near your apartment doesn’t open until after you leave, and weekends fill up fast. Fold NY solves it two ways. Drop your garments off at our Ridgewood store at 53-25 Metropolitan Ave any day from 6AM to 10PM, or skip the trip entirely and have our own drivers pick up and deliver for free. Either way, you get green, perc-free dry cleaning with eco-friendly solvents, every item inspected and hand-finished, and a typical 2-day turnaround.
Perc-Free Means Better for Your Clothes and Your Block
Perchloroethylene, better known as perc, was the go-to dry cleaning solvent for decades. Our dry cleaning skips it. We use eco-friendly solvents instead, so your suits, dresses and coats get cleaned without perc.
The care is just as important as the chemistry. Every garment is inspected before it’s cleaned so we can spot stains, loose buttons or delicate trim, and every piece is hand-finished before it comes back to you. More details are on our green dry cleaning page.
Two Ways to Send Us Your Dry Cleaning
Drop off at our Ridgewood store
If you live or work near Ridgewood, Glendale, Maspeth or Middle Village, our store is an easy stop. We’re on Metropolitan Ave, open early and open late every single day, 6AM to 10PM. Hand over your garments at the counter and we’ll take it from there. While you’re here, ECB, the bar and café right next door at 53-23 Metropolitan Ave, is a good place to grab a coffee or a bite.
Free pickup and delivery
Farther out in Queens, or just don’t want to carry a garment bag? Book a pickup online or in the Fold NY app and our drivers will collect your dry cleaning from your door and bring it back when it’s ready. Pickup and delivery are free.

Why Queens Chooses Fold NY
A real neighborhood store
We’re not an app with no address. Fold NY is a walk-in laundromat at 53-25 Metropolitan Ave with self-service washers and dryers, drop-off wash and fold, and dry cleaning drop-off. You can walk in and talk to a person.
Our own drivers
Pickup and delivery are handled by our own team, so your clothes don’t bounce between couriers.
Green, inspected, hand-finished
Perc-free dry cleaning with eco-friendly solvents, checked before and finished by hand after.
Timing you can plan around
Dry cleaning typically takes about 2 days. Need something sooner for an interview or an event? Ask for rush when you book.
Local ownership
Fold NY is Black-owned and women-owned, and Ridgewood is home.
Laundry and Dry Cleaning in One Order
Most of what you own goes in a washing machine; only some of it needs dry cleaning. Send both together. Our wash and fold is $1.75/lb for next-day service, pickup and delivery included, with 20% off your first delivery order. Wash and fold orders are washed in our own Ridgewood laundromat with ozone in every load, a natural sanitizer that helps remove bacteria, odors and allergens with fewer harsh chemicals. For Queens-specific details, visit our Queens wash and fold page.
Seasonal Dry Cleaning in Queens
Queens winters are hard on clothes. Salt and slush from the sidewalks along Queens Boulevard or Roosevelt Avenue end up on coat hems, and wool picks up odors from long rides on crowded trains. A few times a year are especially good moments to send things out:
- Late fall: pull your heavy coats and sweaters out of storage and have them cleaned before the first cold snap.
- Early spring: clean winter coats before they go back in the closet, so stains and salt don’t sit in the fabric all summer.
- Before big occasions: graduation season, wedding season and the holidays all mean suits and dresses coming out of the closet at once. Book a little early, or ask about rush.
Planning ahead means you’re never scrambling for a clean suit the night before.
