When is it best to choose professional dry cleaning?
Not every item of clothing needs to go to the dry cleaner—also known as a dry cleaning service, professional cleaning, or chemical cleaning—and that’s not what we recommend. However, for a specific category of your wardrobe, professional cleaning is the only responsible option. Below are some guidelines to help you determine when dry cleaning is the right choice.
Material
Garments made of wool, cashmere, silk, linen, viscose, or acetate are almost always better off being dry cleaned than washed in water. These fibers are hydrophobic or sensitive to mechanical stress, which means they shrink, felt, or deform when exposed to water and centrifugal force.
Construction
Structured garments such as suits, blazers, and structured coats often contain interlinings, shoulder pads, and stiffeners that are not water-resistant. Washing a suit in the washing machine is a surefire way to ruin its shape.
Finishing
Clothing featuring pearl buttons, leather accents, embroidery, or metallic threads requires extra care. Our studio team will assess these details during the initial consultation and tailor the treatment accordingly. Not sure? Consult our stain guide or bring the item in for personalized advice.

Eco-Friendly Dry Cleaning — Since 2011
Since 2011, Opuro has operated entirely without perchloroethylene, the solvent that was the industry standard in the dry cleaning sector for many years but is harmful to both people and the environment. Our facility in Merchtem uses only eco-friendly alternatives that clean just as effectively. For residents of Opwijk who are committed to sustainability, this is a meaningful choice.
A Family Business, Three Generations Deep
