D.O. Summers is a Dry Cleaning Staple in Cleveland

Twelve locations and more than 1,000 dropoff lockers earned D.O. Summers the Best of the East award. 

Dry Cleaner: D.O. Summers Cleaners


With 12 locations throughout Northeast Ohio and upward of 1,000 drop-off lockers in about 50 downtown buildings, D.O. Summers is a laundry staple — founded in 1881 and on its fourth generation with brothers Dustin and Drew Goldberg at the helm. 

“I’ve been told my whole life it gets more difficult to keep a family business as time goes on, but we have clearly defined roles and a great working relationship. We work really hard to find the best personnel,” Dustin Goldberg says. 

D.O. Summers operates six laundering plants, so there’s bandwidth to back same- and next-day service promises. 

Goldberg says the traditional pieces — think blue collared shirt and suit jackets — are down in volume, while specialty garments are up. “We’re more casual, but when the time comes to dress up, patrons are going all out with luxury pieces.”
