We care about your clothes, and the environment
Carr's Cleaners has been a symbol of fine cleaning since 1945, when Bill and Blanch Carr first opened its doors. The tradition of excellence continued in 1979, when Harry and Sandy Boucher took over the business and expanded it to include two locations in Turlock, one in Atwater, and later in Modesto. In 2000, Chad and Trista Boucher, the second generation of the Boucher family, purchased the business and have since consolidated the locations to two in Turlock and one in Atwater.
At Carr's Cleaners, we are committed to providing our customers with the best possible cleaning experience. We achieve this by using the latest technology and innovation in the dry cleaning industry. Our recent switch to professional wet cleaning is a testament to our commitment to continuous improvement and our dedication to providing a better product for our customers.
