Great news, lazy people — thanks to Panasonic's new deodorizing hanger, you can feel slightlyless guilty about skipping laundry day.
The company's new hanger suppresses odors on fabric, leaving your dirty clothes smelling tolerable again without having to immerse them in water. How? By using something they call "nanoe" technology.
SEE ALSO:Why don't we have waterproof laptops already?What the heck does that mean? Well, it's basically a fancy way of describing how tiny water particles from the air are electrified and used to deodorize fabric without technicallywashing it.
It's sort of like steaming a garment, except these particles are a billion times smaller.
According to a press release in Japanese, the hanger works its magic by releasing these particles from eight different ports, and depending on the severity of the stench, customers can choose between two operational modes.

But if you're trying to eliminate a more deep-seated odor like cigarette smoke, grilled meat (this one is truly tragic,) or suppressed pollen that adheres to the fibers of your fabric, you should probably brace yourself for the long mode, which takes around seven hours.
And for especially bad odors, Panasonic also encourages you to put an accessory clothing cover over your garments while they're on the hanger.

Kadencurrently predicts the hanger to be priced at 20,000 yen, which is the equivalent of around $180. Oy vey.
Kind of steep when you think about the fact that this hanger doesn't actuallyclean your dirty clothes — it just makes smell less repulsive. I mean, you could always just wash your clothes in a timely fashion, or even get them dry cleaned. But hey, you do you.
