The Difference Between Washing and Dry Cleaning
There is still some confusion about exactly what dry cleaning entails. Many people think that dry cleaning is the same as washing, but without water. That’s only partly true.
In a standard wash cycle, clothes are immersed in soapy water, then agitated mechanically in a drum, and finally dried. Water and mechanical agitation are the two factors that cause the most damage to delicate fibers: shrinkage, distortion, color loss, and pilling.
Dry cleaning—also known as chemical cleaning, steam cleaning, or professional cleaning—uses a liquid solvent instead of water to dissolve dirt and odors without damaging the fabric’s structure. The mechanical action is minimal, allowing the fabric to retain its original properties. At Opuro, we have been using only eco-friendly alternatives to traditional perchloroethylene since 2011.
For residents of Zemst who may be considering this for the first time: it’s not complicated. Dry cleaning is simply the safest method for cleaning certain garments. Your washing machine is great for cotton and synthetic sportswear, but for wool, silk, cashmere, and textured fabrics, dry cleaning is the better choice. Not sure about a specific item? Consult our stain guide or contact us for advice.
What Treatments Are Available in Zemst
Suits and Business Attire
Suits and business attire are cleaned while preserving their fit and structure. Our dry cleaning service removes sweat stains, odors, and spots without damaging the fabric—essential for anyone who dresses professionally every day.
Blazers and Evening Wear
Blazers, evening gowns, and formal wear often feature delicate fabrics and finishes that are not water-resistant. Our eco-friendly dry cleaning service treats each garment individually based on its material and construction.
Wool Sweaters and Cashmere
Wool sweaters and cashmere garments shrink and felt in the washing machine, even on the wool cycle. Our dry cleaning service cleans these fabrics without water, so they retain their softness and shape.
Shirts and Blouses
Shirts and blouses are sent to our laundry service: professionally washed and pressed, ready to wear. Stiff or lightly ironed, according to your preference.
Coats and Winter Clothing
We treat coats and winter clothing —from down jackets to wool coats—according to the specific requirements of each material. Taking a coat to the dry cleaner at the end of the season prevents dirt and odors from becoming permanently embedded.
Ski and Winter Sports Clothing
Ski and winter sports clothing requires a specialized treatment that preserves the waterproofness and breathability of Gore-Tex and softshell. A regular wash damages these technical finishes—our treatment does not.
Wedding dress cleaning
We treat wedding attire as a specialized service, paying special attention to fabric combinations such as lace, satin, and tulle. Cleaning and preservation in a single treatment.
Curtains, Duvets, and Rugs
We offer cleaning services for curtains, down comforters, and carpets in your home. Our workshop in Merchtem has the industrial capacity to handle even the largest items.
Minor Repairs
Replacing buttons, adjusting hems, repairing linings—our workshop combines repairs with cleaning so you get everything back in one go.
