Impressive gadget

I bought the Bosch Plasma Textile Refrescher last Christmas and was very impressed. So where my family and friends who didńt know it. I demonstrated it with my German magic words "Geruch verschwinde wie ein Furz im Winde" whilst swiping the garment with the Plasma refrescher and als through magic the jumper smelled all fresh again. 5 Star.

Brilliant piece of tech

Use it when I'm at home when clothes that aren't dirty just need a refresh. The plasma scent is surprisingly pleasant. I now take this device with me on holidays.

Introducing breakthrough Bosch Plasma Technology.

They flow across fabric.
