Fabric's Feeling Fine
As a holiday (ok, Chanukkah) present to myself I bought this:http://www.whirlpool.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=513
The press on the website says “The Whirlpool® Fabric Freshener is the only portable appliance that removes odors and relaxes wrinkles without chemicals or detergents. With the simple touch of a button and in just over half an hour, your clothes will be looking great, smelling fresh and ready-to-wear again - all from the comfort of your home.”
I have to tell you, for $215.00 this product works exactly as intended, and in part due to that, and also in part because I obsessively dry clean my very fine clothing, I have fallen in love with this device. While I won’t be carting the device around to movies, concerts and writing the thing sonnets, I will profess my love on the internet. I LOVE YOU Whirlpool Fabric Freshener.
Imagine you wear your nice Prada shirt out to a swanky lounge and as you walk in and out of the joint you are met with the smokers who in NYC are banished to the outside of these types of establishments. Inside the lounge, someone wearing too much cologne gives you a great big hug and the scent of Drakker Noir overwhelms your olfactory passages. In the taxi home, the cab driver smells of burnt lentils and incense. You are incensed because your shirt now smells like a combination of carcinogens, beans and a masking agent favored by people with poor fashion sense. Lets also say that you were smart enough to purchase the Whirlpool Fabric Freshener. This type of situation would normally call for rage but no longer. Now, a half hour later, you have a gorgeous Italian shirt free of bad smells and repressed anger at the mental midgets who have contaminated the garment with their odors. And, you didn’t spend $2.00 to hand the garment over to the dry cleaner. 100 more scenarios such as these, and this baby is paid for!
It is rare that I endorse a product so vehemently, but friends and readers alike, I tell you this: Whirlpool struck gold and I am a happy prospector.
