Want to freshen up your clothes without washing them? A washing machine with a freshening steam function can help you with that. The appliance steams clothes you've worn, which removes odors quickly. Think of old perfume or cigarette smoke, for example. That way, your shirt smells fresh again without having to run a full wash cycle. In addition to freshening up your clothes, the steam also reduces wrinkles. Thanks to that, you won't have to iron after the steam cycle.
