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.

Plasma is everywhere.


In the stars and sun, lightning bolts, neon signs and some TVs. Known as the fourth state of matter, plasma occurs naturally in the universe – and is artificially made for products we use in daily life. Such as FreshUp.

Introducing breakthrough Bosch Plasma Technology.

Using the power of plasma, FreshUp's Bosch Plasma Technology releases active plasma particles.

They flow across fabric.

Dissolving simple odour molecules, bacteria and viruses4. The result: smells are removed not masked.

What's that smell?

After treating a garment with FreshUp, you’ll probably notice a special plasma smell. That’s the active plasma dissolving simple odour molecules. The smell is harmless and quickly fades away.

Intelligence inside.

Smart Plasma Management keeps FreshUp's Bosch Plasma Technology in check. This ensures best-possible performance and runtime. And makes sure you and your garments stay safe and sound.

Just the right performance.

By constantly measuring a fabric’s resistance and adjusting the amount of active plasma accordingly, FreshUp effectively targets and instantly removes odours as well as bacteria and viruses4.

Blinking purple?

Silk, wool, cotton, lace: no matter the type of fabric, FreshUp detects any moisture and signals to dry the item before treating.
