Our Story

Oakwood Cleaners has consistently ranked among the top three dry cleaners in Nashville for a decade, solidifying their reputation as a trusted name in the industry. The company has proudly secured the title of “Best Dry Cleaners” in the Nashville Scene’s Best of Nashville Contest for the last two years, a testament to their dedication excellence.

Oakwood Cleaners was founded in 1989 and began exclusively using GreenEarth in 2001. Alan and Rhonda Wernick became the new owners in April of 2011. “We believe the most important thing we have accomplished since becoming owners, is to develop standardized operational practices, providing exceptional customer service while delivering a superior service. Our pickup and delivery service provides an extraordinary convenience to our customers and allows us to service a much greater population than our two locations could attract on their own.”

Oakwood Cleaners is a 5-star Couture Cleaners as well as a member of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists. We love that we can boast about using GreenEarth and how it is eco-friendly, odorless and good for our customers clothing and households. Not only can we take care of couture specialty items and wedding gowns, but we can offer a dry-cleaning option for those individuals that are allergic or hyper-sensitive to the smell and chemicals in other dry-cleaning solvents.

Our son, Aubrey Wernick, who now shares ownership with us, has become an expert in the use of GreenEarth as well as a well-respected spotter. We actually have area dry cleaners sending customers to us on occasion! Our production staff is bar none, and the majority have been with the company for over 5 years some beyond 15 years.

Needless to say, we are proud to own the Best Dry Cleaner in Nashville and look forward to what the future holds.
