About Us
Our Heritage
Dependable Cleaners is a 4th generation, certified women-owned family dry cleaning company with over 80 years of dedication to trust, care, and excellence.
What began in 1944, with just a shirt laundry facility, has flourished into one of the leading dry cleaning companies in the Greater Boston Metro area. Together, founders Don Sr. and Marion Fawcett, mastered the craft of garment care. They instilled the values that still guide our company today: to exceed the expectation of our clients and provide the highest level of quality cleaning possible.
Don Jr. and Fred Fawcett later took over the company, growing it into a local chain, while building on the quality standards set by their parents. In 2015, Don Fawcett won the Diamond Award from The Dry Cleaning Institute. The Diamond Award recognizes excellence across all aspects of the cleaning industry and has only been awarded “a handful of times” in DLI’s 107-year history.
After 26 years, Don Jr. passed the legacy on to his daughter, current President, and CEO, Christa Hagearty. Christa has implemented a purposeful business philosophy and corporate reinvestment programs that fuel all aspects of the company’s growth. Dependable Cleaners’ newest service, Style by Dependable, is a natural progression of their dedication to trust, care, and excellence. Style provides the highest level of quality garment care possible. Today Dependable Cleaners stands behind its work and unique techniques developed through the decades, to build on the quality on which Dependable Cleaners was founded.
