Washing machines with refresh programme

Refresh (no washing)

— a special mode of processing laundry that does not require a full wash but needs a cleaning. A typical example of such things is clothes that have been “idle” for a long time, accumulating dust and unpleasant odours or things that have been worn once and not for long.

In the refresh mode, the machine does not use water but other methods of processing fabrics. One of the most popular options is an intense stream of hot steam: it removes or destroys substances responsible for an unpleasant smell, “blows out” dust from fabrics that could accumulate there, and also facilitates the removal of wrinkles on “disobedient ” fabrics, which are smoothed out bad when dry. Another option for refreshment is blowing with active oxygen. This method does not remove dust as effectively, but it perfectly eliminates unpleasant odours. Anyway, when refreshing, detergents are not used, and clothes are not wetted with water, and in extreme cases, slightly moistened. Often laundry can be used almost immediately after being removed from the drum.
