Washed · Comparison
Dry cleaning or in-home laundry in Lomé?
A pressing/dry cleaner and an in-home washerwoman solve the same broad problem — clean clothes — through very different models. The right choice depends on garment type, frequency and whether you want your clothes to leave the home.
When a pressing or dry cleaner makes sense
A pressing is useful when you want garments handled at an external facility, including specialist treatments or finishes offered by that business.
Depending on the provider, the service may include pickup, delivery, ironing or treatment of particular items. Compare what is actually included rather than only the headline price.
When in-home laundry makes sense
An in-home washerwoman is better suited to recurring everyday laundry when the household wants clothes to stay at home. With Washed, the washerwoman comes to the home and uses the household’s water and soap.
The model is recurring: one or two visits per month, with the regular washerwoman reassigned by default.
The comparison that matters
Ask five questions: where is the laundry washed, who transports it, how often do I need help, do I need specialist garment treatment, and do I prefer a recurring relationship with the same person?
Washed is not intended to replace every dry-cleaning use case. It is a specific alternative for recurring household laundry done at home.
