Ironing, linen and textiles in Rijswijk
.svg)
Rijswijk was for centuries a village you could pass through in a carriage without anyone ever stepping out. Along the old high street stood parsonages, farmhouses and the country estates of Hague regents who had their stately whites brought over here for the summer. During the Peace of Rijswijk in 1697, concluded in the now-vanished Huis ter Nieuburg, diplomats from France, England and the Republic resided in the village for months on end — and each court brought its own chamberlains, its own ironers and its own chests of court attire.
That capacity for the careful care of fine linen lingered. The Old Town Hall on the Herenstraat, the notaries' offices, the gentlemen's societies and later the civil servants' apartment blocks around the Generaal Spoorlaan provided a steady stream of customers for Rijswijk's ironers and laundries. Every Wednesday your good shirt went on the coat rack — by Friday you had it back in pristine order.
That pattern has remained. Rijswijk is now an urban municipality with many ministries, legal employers, EPO staff and middle-class families oriented towards The Hague. A pile of crease-free shirts is still carried out the door every day. Only now they no longer all come out of the household's own laundry room.
Since 2013 we have been driving out from our laundry on the Henricuskade on fixed days through Rijswijk. Laundry bag ready in the morning, washed and ironed back the same or next collection day — by the same delivery driver you already know. No appointments, no fuss.

How does Strijkservice Haaglanden work in Rijswijk?
For residents of Rijswijk our service works exactly as in the rest of Haaglanden: on a fixed day of the week our driver comes by, picks up your laundry bag and brings your laundry back clean and crisply ironed. No appointment needed — your routine is set.
You get one regular driver and a fixed pickup rhythm so you always know what to expect. No carrying, no full drying racks in the living room, no evenings at the ironing board.
Everything is handled in our own laundry on Henricuskade in The Hague. Shirts, blouses, table linen, bed and bath textiles — we iron it the way it should go back into the cupboard at home, neatly folded and ready to use.
