This dry cleaning business has been around since 1949, and along with the Needham location (in business for over 23 years), includes 500 shops around the country and abroad. Back in 1949, a Buffalo chemist transformed the dry cleaning business with a new, non-harmful chemical that meant customers could bring their clothes right to the shop rather than requiring only pick up orders. Services at Martinizing include not only clothing cleaning, but also bedspreads and other household items. Home pick up and delivery are also offered.
