Vilvoorde is a city on the move. With a growing population, a mix of families and young professionals, and a strategic location between Brussels and the Flemish Periphery, it is a municipality where time is scarce and expectations are high. Opuro responds perfectly to this need with a dry cleaning and laundry service that combines quality with convenience.
We regularly make pickups and deliveries in Vilvoorde. Whether you live by the canal, in the city center, or in one of the residential neighborhoods, simply schedule an appointment through the app and we’ll be at your door. Our laundry and dry cleaning services are just a few minutes away from your wardrobe.
Dry Cleaning and Laundry — What's the Difference?
Residents of Vilvoorde use both terms interchangeably, and rightly so: dry cleaning and steam cleaning refer to the same process. It is a professional cleaning method that uses no water, but rather controlled solvents that remove dirt, odors, and stains without damaging the fabric’s structure. The terms “new cleaning” and “chemical cleaning” also refer to the same treatment.
The term “dry cleaning” is typically Belgian, while “dry cleaning” is mainly used in the Netherlands. At Opuro, we use both terms, but the service is the same: professional, eco-friendly cleaning that protects your clothes and extends their lifespan. Not sure if a garment needs professional cleaning?

Who Should Consider Dry Cleaning in Vilvoorde?
The honest truth: not all your clothes need to go to the dry cleaner. Cotton T-shirts, jeans, and towels can be washed perfectly well at home. But for a significant part of your wardrobe, professional treatment is the safest option.
Think of the tailored suit you wear to client meetings. The wool winter coat you put on year after year. The silk scarf you received as a gift. The down winter coat that needs to smell fresh after a season. The blazer that needs freshening up after a conference. For all these items, dry cleaning ensures that the fabric, fit, and color are preserved.
Vilvoorde is also home to a sizeable international community. Expats accustomed to professional textile care—or “dry cleaning”—will find the same level of service at Opuro as they would in their home country, with the added benefit of Belgian craftsmanship and personal attention.
The Full Range of Services in Vilvoorde
Dry Cleaning and Laundry
Suits, blazers, skirts, dresses, evening wear—every garment is assessed and treated individually. Our eco-friendly dry cleaning process does not use perchloroethylene, but rather modern alternatives that are safe for your clothes and the environment.
Laundry
Shirts, blouses, linens, and bedding are professionally washed and ironed in our laundry facility. The difference compared to washing at home is immediately apparent: sharper creases, longer-lasting freshness, and less wear and tear.
Wool Sweaters and Cashmere
Wool sweaters and cashmere garments are particularly sensitive to water and mechanical stress. Our dry-cleaning process cleans these materials without causing shrinkage or felting, ensuring they retain their soft texture and fit—even after repeated treatments.
Jackets and Outdoor Clothing
From elegant wool coats to technical outdoor jackets: our workshop tailors the cleaning process to each material. Gore-Tex, down, softshell, and leather each require a specific approach, which we are fully equipped to handle. Taking a jacket to the dry cleaner significantly extends its lifespan.
Ski and Winter Sports Clothing
After the ski season, many families from Vilvoorde bring their ski and winter sports clothing to us. Technical fabrics lose their waterproofing and breathability when washed incorrectly. Our treatment preserves these technical properties in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Interior Textiles
Curtain cleaning, down comforter washing, carpet refreshing —our facility in Merchtem has the capacity to handle even the largest items. Residents of Vilvoorde can easily arrange this through our pickup service.
Wedding dress cleaning
After the most beautiful day of your life, your wedding dress deserves care that’s just as meticulous as the day itself. We clean and preserve wedding attire with special attention to every material and detail—from the satin bodice to the lace train.
Minor Repairs
Buttons, hems, linings—our workshop combines repairs with cleaning so you can get everything done in one visit.
