MISSION STATEMENT & CUSTOMER COMMITMENT
Our mission is to provide exceptional textile cleaning services and the best customer experience. We will always endeavor to build trust with our clients through quality service and genuine care for their needs. We want our customers to have complete confidence that their garments and cherished items are in the hands of professionals and their business is appreciated.
OUR HISTORY
Established in 1988, UPTON Dry Cleaners has grown from a small two-person operation to the most trusted dry cleaner on the Gold Coast, now employing over 40 team members. Since 1992, David Walker played a pivotal role in UPTON’s early success, becoming well-known throughout the Gold Coast and nationally within the dry cleaning industry. His dedication laid the foundation for UPTON’s strong reputation and continued growth.
Today, the business is led by one of the most experienced teams in the industry. Chris Mills, our Operations Manager since 1997, is recognised as one of the highest-skilled dry cleaning professionals in Australia. Under his leadership, UPTON has reached new heights, and we are fortunate to have him guiding our team.
Marcus Walker, General Manager since 2006, continues to drive the business forward. Marcus serves as a Director of the Dry Cleaning Institute of Australia (DIA) and was invited to join the board due to his extensive expertise across all aspects of dry cleaning operations. Additionally, he acts as the Honorary Technical Advisor for the DIA, further showcasing his commitment and industry knowledge.
Our state-of-the-art facility on George Street is among the most advanced dry cleaning operations in Australia. We utilise cutting-edge robotic conveyor systems, high-tech pressing equipment, and world-class textile cleaning systems, ensuring we provide our clients with unmatched quality and efficiency.

OUR VISION
Our vision for UPTON Dry Cleaners is to continually invest in the best textile cleaning technology available, ensure that all of our team members are trained in their specific areas of expertise, and evaluate our operations to meet high standards in all facets of dry cleaning. We are strongly committed to reducing our impact on the environment in any way possible, including finding ways to recycle and utilise non- or less-toxic materials and cleaning agents.
Convenience and customer service are the cornerstones of our business. From our drive-in option to our delivery services and reliable communication about your orders, our customers are our top priority.
Our staff are highly trained and have years of experience in the dry cleaning industry. We have a strong team culture, as evidenced by the longevity of our staff.
We invest in technology to ensure that we’re able to deliver the most efficient and high quality services while taking care of our environment. Our dedication to a greener future is present in all areas of our business.
We support our community through charitable activities. For many years we have supported The Salvation Army, and we often support various charity events, schools, sporting teams and other organisations within the local community through raffle prizes and donations. We believe that certain groups within the community are important and we will provide support where we can.
We are active members of the Drycleaning Institute of Australia and have been for more than three decades. This industry group is how dry cleaners share knowledge about best practices and keep abreast of new innovations.
