Miller’s Cleaners began in September 1977, when Dan and Betty Miller set out with a simple goal: to provide quality service while building a business rooted in family, hard work, and integrity.

Their first location was Minsia Cleaners near North High School, followed by a second location in Seneca Square. It was there that the iconic Double Indian Head logo became part of the Miller’s story. To Dan and Betty, the two figures represented partnership and resilience—a reminder that no matter what challenges came their way, they always had each other’s backs.

And Miller’s truly was a family business.

Dan and Betty raised their two children in and around the cleaners. Their son, Craig, still remembers being placed in laundry baskets to keep him out of trouble and sleeping on a pallet beneath his mother’s desk when he was sick and couldn’t go to school. For the Miller children, the cleaners weren’t simply where their parents worked.

They were home.

Over the years, Miller’s Cleaners grew alongside the Wichita community. Then, in 2012, after 35 years in business, Dan and Betty decided it was time to retire. They proudly passed the torch to their son, Craig Miller, continuing a family tradition that had already spanned two generations.

Today, Craig leads Miller’s Cleaners with the same commitment to service, family, and integrity that he grew up with. And every so often, his own children can be found at the cleaners, too—making Miller’s a tradition now reaching into its third generation.

Under Craig’s leadership, Miller’s has continued to evolve, including taking meaningful steps toward greater environmental responsibility and waste reduction.

Recycling programs are available at Miller’s locations for customer use, and hanger caddies make it easy for customers to return wire hangers for reuse. Miller’s also uses biodegradable poly garment bags.

Behind the scenes, the company recycles plastic, steel, paper, and cardboard. Loose poly, cardboard boxes, mixed paper products, and plastic bottles are processed through Wichita Material Recovery. Returned wire hangers are reused whenever possible, while hangers that are no longer suitable for Miller’s production needs are made available free of charge rather than simply being discarded.

Miller’s also moved away from traditional perchloroethylene—or “perc”—dry cleaning many years ago. Today, the company uses a petroleum-based dry-cleaning solvent as part of its ongoing effort to provide effective garment care while reducing the environmental impact associated with older cleaning methods.

For nearly five decades, Miller’s Cleaners has been proud to support local schools, churches, organizations, families, and businesses throughout the Wichita community.

Because after all these years, the philosophy behind Miller’s hasn’t changed very much.

Take care of the clothes. Take care of the customer. Take care of the community.

As Miller’s approaches its 50th anniversary, three generations of one family have now been part of its story—and generations of Wichita families have trusted Miller’s with everything from everyday work clothes to some of the most important garments of their lives.

Miller’s Cleaners is more than a business. It’s a family tradition, a community partner, and a promise of care Wichita has trusted since 1977.
