Our Story and Promise of Quality

More than sixty years ago, Edward Spencer opened the first Blue Ribbon Cleaners on Belmont Avenue in Youngstown, Ohio. Coming from a family of laundromat owners, Edward brought with him a passion for detail and a dedication to doing things the right way. His belief in honest work and dependable service shaped the foundation of what Blue Ribbon Cleaners still stands for today: quality without compromise.

Now operated by the next generation of the Spencer/Albrecht family, Blue Ribbon Cleaners continues to grow while staying true to our roots. From our facilities in Youngstown and Warren, we combine tradition with innovation, offering complete garment and household cleaning done right onsite. Whether it’s a work shirt or a wedding dress, every piece is cared for with precision, pride, and a personal touch.

Family Owned and Operated Since 1962

Our story began in 1962 and has stayed in the family ever since. What started as a small local shop grew through honesty, hard work, and care – values that haven’t changed in over sixty years.

A Reputation Built on Generations of Trust
Some of our customers grew up coming here with their parents, and now they bring their own children. That kind of loyalty doesn’t come from advertising; it comes from doing things right, year after year.
