Unfortunately they are so busy they did not have time to update their website regarding specialist cleaning suede and leather products I left the very large suede coat with them and they have promised to try to find an alternative cleaner, apparently these items are now so rare people able to clean them have now retired

I’d left it last minute to get my suit dry cleaned, and nobody was able to do it in 24 hours. I rang Carlton’s and they were brilliant. Turned it around in less than 24 hours and my suit looks great.
Great customer service and real top quality dry cleaning. 5 stars

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Carlton initially to get an old suit cleaned for a wedding. They did at good job at a reasonable price. After the wedding we had the wedding dress and another suit cleaned. We had thought the dress would be a write off as it had rained on the day and it got dirty just doing the photos! However Imran did a great job and was extremely helpful when I went to collect. He obviously takes pride in the work he does and I would definitely recommend him to others

My daughter’s wedding dress was like new and beautifully boxed on return and my dress was also dry cleaned. Highly recommended and would definitely use again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took some water stained blinds and a very old cross stitch blanket that has been stained for decades and Carlton cleaners got them looking brand new. Thank you so much for saving my handmade blinds and sentimental cross stitch work. Would highly recommend their services. Friendly and efficient.
