Central Dry Cleaners
Central Dry Cleaners is an independent family run business that has been operating in the Bournemouth and Poole area for over four decades. We have been stationed at 184 Holdenhurst Road since 1992. We have a wealth of knowledge in the dry cleaning industry so it would be safe to say that we know our business very well.

Found in Bournemouth, we are based away from the hustle and bustle of the square just past the train station. We have ample free easy parking outside our shop which is very convenient for dropping off or picking up your washing on the way to and from work.
Services
I started dry cleaning back in the 1970s when I used to help my dad with his work in the local drycleaners. I was probably about 10 years old at the time and I loved it! I then got a Saturday job there when I was in my teens and helped out in the school holidays. When I left school my dad opened his first dry cleaning shop in Tuckton and soon after that I went to work with him.
Take the hassle out of washing your own bedding and let Central Dry Cleaners do it for you. We offer a bespoke laundry service that is better than any launderette as we don't wash your clothes with other people's washing. All clothes are beautifully hand pressed for a fantastic finish. And yes we can clean duvets, quilts, eiderdowns and sleeping bags.
So if you have trousers that are too tight, jacket sleeves that are too long, we can help. Due to the large number of landlords and students in the Bournemouth area we offer a complete key cutting service. Save yourself a potential massive amount of time and money and get a spare car key cut today.

Bad key cutting. Three times they got it wrong. Should have gone to Ashley security. More expensive but pros

DO NOT USE SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN
Took in my sons Canada goose coat for dry cleaning and left it with them
We had a call from the owners father saying the toggles has melted in the machine, did not accept any responsibility and said thank god there were no other items in with it,
When I asked for the insurance details the owner who had returned from holiday was abusive and told us he was keeping my coat and wanted to take pictures of it, it’s clearly been put on too hot as the back emblem has been mishapened, they are rude unprofessional and frankly do not give a toss if your garment is ruined

BUYER BEWARE NEVER USE THESE GUYS
NOT IF YOU VALUE YOUR GARMENTS
We just used this outfit and got totally dismissed when we took the suit they had damaged back to complain
the right said Fred lookalike who seems to run the operation when presented with the shrinker suit sold me on a long one that suits can't shrink
Going on to say That if I gave him a million pound you wouldn't be able to shrink it.
Accepted absolutely no liability and told me that maybe I put on weight since 3 days ago making it now not fit.
He didn't check the label and made claims that my wool suit was a man-made fibre

The most professional dry cleaner in Dorset. If you value your clothing and want great value for money, this is the place to go. You can pull in right outside the shop too.

Called to get a price for dry cleaning a leather jacket - 'we do not touch animals was the reply. Fair enough, would have saved time if it stated that on their website nice and clearly.

I have visited twice, both times a waste. The first time I asked if they could repair a zip. "No." I asked if they knew somewhere I could get it fixed, and the answer was "Try somewhere that fixes zips!" About a year later I needed a leather jacket cleaned. As they are nearest to me, I thought I'd try. "No." again. "Do you know anywhere that does clean leather?" "Don't know."

Asked to have an item altered and the guy was quite rude and without even taking a look at the item declared that it couldn't be done and wouldn't offer an explanation. I went to the alteration place just down the road and they happily took my item and said it would be no problem.
