V-ZUG Refresh Butler – Introducing This Innovative Product

After finishing a contract, I popped into my local appliance store who introduced me to some of their new high-tech products. She was kind enough to give me a tour and brochure for a V-ZUG Refresh Butler.

The marketing promises “A gentle new way to care for luxury garments and a breakthrough in fabric care and hygiene technology. The Refresh Butler from V-ZUG will refresh, dry and sanitize your most delicate garments, 100% chemical free.”

What is a V-ZUG Refresh Butler?

A Refresh Butler is an expensive fancy cupboard that humidifies your luxury clothes without putting them in a washing machine with your everyday clothes.

The salesperson has sold a few products to:

• Working mothers
• Professionals who live in apartments with small storage spaces
• Chefs and hospitality staff
• People who like to smoke cigars, cigarettes and vape
• Security personnel
• People who wear a uniform regularly, like police officers, army, business suits etc

Refresh Butler is the perfect solution to quickly dry clothes after a light shower. It only uses temperatures below 60 degree Celsius to bring garments back down to a humidity level of 24 % making them ready to wear again.

There is a program setting that dries clothes with gentle heat from an energy-efficient heat pump system.

You can also use a setting that removes body odour. The Refresh Butler is able to eliminate germs and bacteria from your clothes without washing or dry cleaning them.

Where do you install a V-ZUG Refresh Butler?

A butler can be installed as an extra cupboard, or you can remove an existing cupboard and replace it. For example, you can have it added to your foyer, bedroom, bathroom, laundry or in the garage. Wherever you have some spare vertical space in your house or apartment.

Why would you install a V-ZUG Refresh Butler?

A refresh butler promises to save you time dropping off your clothes to the dry cleaners. As a result, you’ll have fewer nasty chemicals close to your body. Your skin is the body’s biggest organ, and it absorbs chemicals close to your body.

Did you know that odour and smoke can permanently change and even ruin delicate garments? The structure of the fabric can be changed, resulting in reduced fit and feel. Your clothes might be too small or look wonky when you wear them!
