Rug cleaning in Meise

Who lives here

2022 incomes: a median income of €34,639 per tax return and an average income of €48,429, across 11,447 returns — the highest level of the three Flemish towns covered here (Wemmel: €30,104 median; Zaventem: €30,823).

Dogs, children, entertaining, house shares: it is the way people live here that decides how often a rug is washed, not a theoretical calendar.

Collection

The A12 Brussels-Antwerp crosses Meise from north to south; 13 km and about 27 min from the Grand-Place. Major works by the Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer: renewal of 8 km of motorway on the A12 at Meise from 16 March to September 2026, with narrowed lanes between Meise and Londerzeel; the remodelling of the Londerzeel-Sud junction (Kerkhofstraat / Londerzeelsesteenweg) begins with utility diversion works in the first half of 2027.

We collect and we bring back: the washing is done flat at the workshop, never with a hose in your living room.

The building stock

The Flemish inventory describes Meise as a municipality "fairly heavily urbanised, where the residential function comes first", but whose expansion dates mainly from the end of the 1950s. Around the Sint-Martinuskerk / presbytery core: a heterogeneous nineteenth- and twentieth-century fabric, historic farms such as the Drijtorenhof and the Haeck, and a series of villas — cottage-style and modernist — several of them by Luc Viérin and Willy Van Der Meeren.

The type of floor changes everything: on an old parquet, a rug traps the mineral dust; on cold tiles, it takes up damp from underneath.
