Avon Cleaners reaches SMU faculty, staff and grad students through scheduled dry cleaning pickup and delivery in Highland Park, plus a 24-hour kiosk at our Hillcrest Ave store a short walk from campus. Garments brought to the store before 9:00 am can be ready the same day; route orders come back on your delivery date.
What Does Pickup and Delivery Near SMU Include?
With our pickup and delivery service near SMU, we collect garments from a home or office, clean and press them, and return them on your scheduled delivery date. Coverage runs through Highland Park, University Park and the surrounding streets, and pickup and delivery are complimentary.
How Scheduled Pickup Fits an Irregular Schedule
A faculty office schedule rarely matches a 9-to-5 storefront, and neither does a grad student’s. That is the gap our door-to-door dry cleaning closes: you request a pickup in the app or your online account for a time that works, and you do not need to be at the door. We inspect and sort every order by fabric at check-in, so formalwear and delicate pieces are handled with care.
Kiosk or Scheduled Pickup: Which Fits a Campus Schedule?
- Availability: the kiosk works at any hour; a pickup runs at the time you request.
- Best for: the kiosk suits late study sessions and early classes; pickup suits offices and off-campus apartments.
- How to request: sign up once, then drop at the kiosk anytime; or request each pickup in the app.
Why Do Faculty and Grad Students Use This Service?
Storefront hours leave little room for lab schedules or back-to-back classes. Grad students juggling lab hours and faculty moving between meetings often look for dry cleaning near Hillcrest Ave instead of driving across town. Game-day and move-in weekends bring a second group: visiting parents who notice the store and remember it when their student needs formalwear cleaned.
Avon Cleaners was founded in Dallas in 1968. Our SYSTEM K4 process cleans garments with a biodegradable, dermatologically tested solvent, and every piece is hand finished and inspected before it goes back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can suede or leather go through a scheduled pickup?
Yes. They can be included with other garments. Suede and leather are sent out to a professional specialty cleaner rather than processed in-house, so they come back on a later delivery.
Can university staff use the kiosk instead of scheduling a pickup?
Yes. Once signed up, the kiosk accepts drop-offs and returns finished orders at any hour, with no appointment.
What happens if a garment misses the 9:00 am cutoff?
Next-day service is available on request, and the standard turnaround is two days.
