About service vouchers

Ready to request some household help? Welcome to Daenens! Our consultants are here to help: after listening carefully to what kind of help you are looking for, they will be glad to find the best possible solution. 

Below is more information on how to pay for your household help with service vouchers.

About service vouchers

This regional price variation is caused by the specific subsidy schemes and policy choices of the different regions. The purpose of service vouchers is to make domestic help more accessible, but its cost may vary, depending on your registered address and on your desired amount of vouchers.

You can order service vouchers for all three regions (Flemish Region, Walloon Region and Brussels-Capital Region) from the issuing company Pluxee. 

Before you can place your first order, you must request a user number from Pluxee. Each region has a separate website for this purpose. 

Carefully keep your user number at hand because you will need it as a structured communication that you have to fill in with every order and money transfer to Pluxee. 

You must order a minimum of 10 service vouchers per order and transfer the amount to be paid to these respective account numbers of Pluxee: 

  • Flemish Region: BE41 0017 7246 2610 

  • Walloon Region: BE15 0017 7247 4330

  • Brussels Capital Region: BE28 0017 7246 3620

From 1 January 2025, service vouchers that are about to expire can no longer be exchanged for new vouchers that are valid for longer. 

However, you can still request a refund for (still valid) service vouchers. This is possible - free of charge - via your Secure Zone at Pluxee or by filling in a form.

About invoicing

As a service cheque company, Daenens believes it is important to provide high-quality services for our customers and to create opportunities for our household helps. That is why we want to be able to continue investing in the supervision, training, income and well-being of our many thousands of cleaners.

Unfortunately, the current financing model of home help with service cheques does not offer enough room for this. As a company, we cannot simply stand by and watch this situation passively from the sideline. Our domestic helpers and our customers are entitled to more. That is why we feel compelled to charge additional cost allowances.

You pay a surcharge per hour of work that the housekeeper has effectively worked. The contribution fee price depends on the type of service cheque you pay with. As the regulations and the value of a service voucher differs per region, the additional fee per hour of service vouchers from the user's domicile address also varies depending on the region.

As from 1 May 2025, this fee per worked hour invoiced is as follows:

  • For services paid by users domiciled in the Flemish Region: €1.90 per hour

  • For services paid by users domiciled in the Brussels-Capital Region: €0.30 per hour

  • For services paid by users domiciled in the Walloon Region: €1.00 per hour

Please contact your cleaning agency’s consultant about your complaint so that you can find a solution together.
