When is it better not to remove stains yourself?
This is a question we get asked often, and the answer is important. Many stains get worse if treated incorrectly. Rubbing a wine stain on silk can permanently damage the fabric. Bleach on a colored wool sweater causes irreversible discoloration. Even water on certain fabrics can leave rings that are harder to remove than the original stain.
The rule of thumb: if you are unsure about the material or type of stain, leave it to a professional. Our textile specialists at Opuro analyze every stain and choose the right treatment method based on the material and the nature of the stain. This prevents secondary damage, which is often more expensive to repair than the original stain.
You’ll also find a comprehensive stain guide on our website with tips for the most common situations.
Services Available for Affligem
Dry Cleaning and Laundry
Eco-friendly cleaning for your delicate garments: suits, wool sweaters, cashmere, silk, evening wear, and blazers. Perchloroethylene-free, preserving color and fit. Since 2011, our eco-friendly process—also known as dry cleaning—has used only environmentally friendly alternatives.
Laundry
Shirts and blouses professionally laundered and pressed in our laundry facility. Linens and bedding are crisp and clean. The difference from washing at home is immediately noticeable: sharper creases, longer-lasting freshness, and less wear and tear.
Curtain Cleaning
Your curtains deserve regular care. Our treatment removes years of accumulated dust, odors, and allergens, giving your home a fresh new look.
Washing Down Comforters
Down comforters are thoroughly cleaned and dried in industrial machines. Your down comforter retains its insulating properties, and the filling remains evenly distributed.
Carpet Cleaning
From fine wool to durable synthetic carpets: our workshop tailors its techniques to each material and construction.
Jackets and Outdoor Clothing
Winter coats, raincoats, down jackets— every fabric gets a customized treatment. Taking your coat to the dry cleaner at the end of the season prevents dirt and odors from becoming permanently embedded in the fibers.
Ski and Winter Sports Clothing
Technical fabrics such as Gore-Tex and softshell are cleaned using our ski clothing treatment, which preserves their waterproof and breathable properties. A regular wash damages these finishes—our treatment does not.
Wedding dress cleaning
Cleaning a wedding dress is a job for specialists, as it is the most special garment in your wardrobe. From lace details to satin fabric—every part is assessed and treated individually.
Minor Repairs
Hems, buttons, linings—our workshop combines repairs with cleaning so you get everything back in one go.
