Specialty Garment Cleaning in Indianapolis—Leather, Handbags & More
Some Items Need a Specialist
Not everything belongs in a standard dry cleaning cycle. Leather jackets, designer handbags, band uniforms, and horse blankets all require a different level of knowledge, different equipment, and a team that actually knows what they’re doing with materials that don’t forgive mistakes.
Classic Cleaners has been handling specialty items for Indianapolis customers for over 40 years. If you’re not sure whether we can help, the answer is usually yes.
Leathers, Handbags & Luggage
Care That Protects Your Investment
Leather and suede don’t respond well to standard cleaning methods. The wrong approach strips natural oils, dulls the finish, and shortens the life of a garment you paid good money for.
We inspect each piece before cleaning, use a carefully balanced system of detergents and solvents to clean without damaging the material, and where color has faded, our expert dyers can restore an even finish. All included in the cleaning price.
We handle leather and suede coats, jackets, handbags, luggage, and other specialty items. Our advice: clean as soon as you notice a stain, or at the end of each season, before storing.
Shoe Care
Shoes That Look the Part
A well-kept pair of shoes makes a difference to an outfit and to how long they last. Our shoe care service is handled by experienced professionals who use high-quality products, focusing on conditioning, buffing, and stain removal.
We clean and care for dress and casual shoes, sheepskin boots, military shoes, cowboy boots, work boots, dance shoes, golf shoes, tennis shoes, and combination leather-and-rubber styles.
Drop them off with your other cleaning or leave them for your route driver, and they’ll come back looking as good as new.
Band Uniforms, Choir Robes & Costumes
Cleaned and Ready for the Next Performance
Classic Cleaners is proud to support Indianapolis schools, bands, choirs, and performing arts organizations. We use eco-friendly cleaning methods and give each piece the attention needed, so your team steps out looking their best.
We specialize in band uniforms, choir robes, theater costumes, school uniforms, mascot suits, and stuffed toys. We also restore stuffed toys and sentimental items so children and grandchildren can keep loving them for years to come.
A few things worth knowing: we offer a discount on uniform cleaning to all first responders, and we provide free American flag cleaning year-round.
Horse Blankets & Equestrian Gear
We Handle the Dirty Work So You Can Focus on Your Horse
Horse blankets are bulky, heavily soiled, and not something most cleaners want to deal with. We do. Our team washes and waterproofs equestrian gear of all types, from neck hoods and polo wraps to the most heavily soiled winter blankets.
Service is available throughout Central Indiana, with pickup and delivery so you don’t have to haul anything in yourself.
