Aqua cleaning in Etterbeek

Blanchisserie de la Petite Suisse provides aqua cleaning in Etterbeek from its workshop in Ixelles, just a few minutes away. Our van comes through the area (1040) to collect your items from your home or office, and brings them back clean at the agreed time. Usual turnaround: 3 to 6 days.

Prefer to drop off yourself? Our two shops, on Chaussée de Boondael in Ixelles and in Watermael-Boitsfort, are open on weekdays and Saturday mornings. The care is the same: every piece is inspected, treated according to its fabric and checked before it comes back to you.

Elsewhere in Brussels, we also serve Schaerbeek, Ixelles, City of Brussels, Saint-Gilles and Anderlecht.

Aqua cleaning, precision washing with water

The service

What is aqua cleaning?

Aqua cleaning is professional wet cleaning, washing with water to a very high level of precision. The machine controls temperature, water level and drum movement to the degree, and the products we use are biodegradable. The result is a deep clean that protects fibres and colours, with no solvents.

It is the ideal method for items that ordinary washing would damage but that do not need solvent: wool and cashmere, down jackets, duvets, washable silk and technical sportswear. Some items labelled 'dry clean only' handle it perfectly well; we decide item by item.

After washing, the item is dried with the same control, then reshaped and pressed if needed.

Frequently asked questions

You may be wondering, in Etterbeek

Do you cover Etterbeek?

Yes. Etterbeek (1040) is one of the 26 municipalities on our round. Book a time slot in the WOSH app: we collect from your home or office and deliver at the agreed time.

How much does aqua cleaning cost in Etterbeek?

The sample prices above apply in Etterbeek just as in our shops. The exact price is confirmed when we receive the item, depending on the fabric and finish.

Does wet cleaning damage wool?

No. Wool felts when the water is too hot and the drum too rough. Aqua cleaning controls both, so wool and cashmere can be washed without shrinking.

My garment says 'dry clean only'. Can it be washed in water?

Often, yes. We look at the fabric, lining and trims before deciding. If there is the slightest doubt, we dry clean it.

What about textiles damaged by smoke or water?

We take them on by quotation, with a treatment suited to each fabric and a quote you can pass on to your insurer.

Fire and water damage cleaning
How is it different from washing at home?

Precision. Our machines control water, temperature and movement far more finely than a domestic machine, with professional products suited to each fibre, and the item is then reshaped in our workshop.

How long does it take?

Allow 3 to 6 days. Duvets and down jackets take longer to dry; we give you the date when you drop them off.

Is it eco-friendly?

Yes. No solvents, biodegradable products, and water and energy use kept in check by the machine.

Do you collect from home?

Yes, in 26 municipalities across Brussels and Brabant. Book a time slot in the WOSH app.
