In practice
How
does it work?
Drop off your clothes
At either of our two centres, Monday to Friday from 7.30am to 6pm, no appointment needed. Tell us what you would like done: we mark up the alterations with you.
We estimate the work
As with ironing, one service voucher covers one hour of work. We tell you when your items will be ready when you drop them off.
You collect your clothes
Your items will be waiting for you at the centre, carefully altered. Why not drop off your laundry basket for ironing at the same time?
With your agreement, our administrative fee (in French) is added, capped at €20 per month across all our services.
No appointment needed
Our two
centres
Open Monday to Friday, from 7.30am to 6pm, with no lunch break. The same centres as for your ironing.
Your questions
Frequently asked
questions
Can I really pay for alterations with service vouchers?
Yes. Small sewing jobs are among the activities allowed under the service voucher rules, just like ironing. All you need is an active Pluxee user account and service vouchers available.
How many service vouchers will it take?
One service voucher covers one hour of work. The number of vouchers therefore depends on how long your alterations take: we tell you when you drop them off.
Can my housekeeper do alterations at my home?
At your home, your housekeeper can mend the laundry she irons: sewing a button back on, fixing a small seam. For more precise alterations (hems, adjustments), our centres have the right equipment. Find out more about our housekeepers.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Simply drop by the centre during opening hours, Monday to Friday from 7.30am to 6pm. If you have a question beforehand, call us on 02 675 41 03.
