Our Legacy in the making

Miller’s Cleaners began in September 1977, founded by Dan and Betty Miller with a simple goal: provide quality service while building a business rooted in family and integrity.

Their first location was Minsia Cleaners near North High School, followed by a second location in Seneca Square, where the iconic Double Indian Head logo was established. To Dan and Betty, the logo symbolized partnership and resilience — a reminder that no matter what challenges came their way, they always had each other’s backs.

Dan and Betty raised their two children in the business, truly living the meaning of family owned and operated. Their son Craig fondly recalls being placed in laundry baskets to keep him out of trouble and sleeping on a pallet under his mother’s desk when he was sick and couldn’t go to school. From an early age, the cleaners were more than a workplace — they were home.

Over the years, Miller’s Cleaners evolved and grew, and 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 the family tradition.

Today, Craig leads Miller’s Cleaners with the same dedication and values he grew up with — and now, his own children can be found at the cleaners from time to time, carrying the legacy into the next generation.

Craig has also focused on improving the business with an eye toward environmental responsibility. Miller’s Cleaners has taken meaningful steps to reduce its carbon footprint, offering recycling programs at all locations for customer use. All poly bags are biodegradable. Hanger caddies are available to make participation easy for customers.

Internally, Miller’s 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, and those no longer suitable for use are made available free of charge. 

Miller’s cleaning process uses petroleum-based solvent, which does not emit toxic or environmental waste, supporting a safer and more responsible cleaning method.

Throughout the years, Miller’s Cleaners has proudly supported schools, churches, and local organizations, remaining deeply committed to the Wichita community it has served for decades.

For over 50 years, Miller’s Cleaners has been more than a business — it’s been a family tradition, a community partner, and a promise of care you can trust.
