Martinizing Cleaners Acquires New Location in Aurora Through Clean Exit Program

Clean Brands, which owns Martinizing Cleaners, created the “Clean Exit” program to provide existing, unaffiliated dry cleaning and laundromat owners with a seamless exit strategy. After acquiring existing companies, Clean Brands makes upgrades, including Martinizing Cleaners branding, delivery vehicles, signage, integrating GreenEarth® Cleaning solutions, updating systems and technology, along with improving lighting, flooring, and other cosmetic enhancements.

Located in Aurora, Martinizing Cleaners of Aurora has been designed as a modern storefront with an integrated back-office plant. This structure allows the team to support increasing route-based demand while maintaining high-quality, in-store garment care. Pickup and delivery services remain a primary focus and already account for the majority of the company’s overall sales.

“Our goal with this expansion wasn’t simply to add another location, but to grow more intelligently,” said Ambridge. “Aurora and Parker are seeing steady residential growth along with a return to office work, and we wanted to be ahead of that curve by offering convenient, modern dry-cleaning services that fit today’s lifestyles.”

“Brad is exactly the kind of operator the Clean Exit program was built for,” said Joseph Hebeka, Vice President of Franchise Re-Development for Clean Brands. “He’s a seasoned dry cleaner who already had a strong team and proven systems in place, which made this transition incredibly smooth. Because of that foundation, Brad was able to seamlessly transition into this new phase of his business.”

“Martinizing has always aligned with my values around professionalism, efficiency, and long-term planning,” Ambridge said. “This expansion allows us to serve more customers, support our teams, and bring modern, reliable garment care to communities that are clearly on the rise.”
