Their Refresh cycle uses gentle steam to smooth out wrinkles, reduce odours, and revive clothes without running a full wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s like giving your favourite shirt a five-minute meditation session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The invisible stress clothes carry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We rarely think about it, but our clothes go through stress just as we do.
