Maybe those with money to burn would find it useful?

So it's like buying a piece of equipment to spritz your clothes with Febreeze?

Perhaps the segment of consumers who like "fresh" smelling clothing will use this to 'freshen' their already clean clothing. After all the new laundry detergents and fabric softners claim to keep your laundry smelling fresh for days and days (ok, maybe it's just some of them).
For example: you pull today's outfit out of the closet and realize it's been 12 months since you last wore it (the closet's so big and you have so many clothes you could wear something different every day of the year) and it needs a bit of 'freshening' so you pop it in the Swash, by the time you are done showering and ready to get dressed your outfit is just as fresh as you are.
I can see this happening. I've got co-workers who never seem to wear the same thing twice and I've been to homes where the walk in closets are the size of bedrooms (and probably do hold 365 days of clothing).

Reminds me of a product I saw in 1967 that was a powder to put in your hair. It was to absorb some hair old so you could avoid washing your hair another day. Washing your hair was a big deal then. When you washed it the curls needed redone so it might take 12 hours to have good hair again or two hours under a hair dryer. Most of us washed hair once a week then still slept in curlers every night so if you got asked on a date the night before hair wash day you would decline due to having to wash your hair. The product didn't sell and this product won't sell beside it just airs out your clothing and had high per use cost.
Before washing machines and dry cleaning were invented a man's suit was never washed. He would air it out between wearings and it would be brushed because wool was ruined with washing. Other clothing was washed in washtubs, irons were heated on the stove for ironing.

I live in a building with a coin-operated washer and dryer. I already use fabric refresher on clothes that I've worn but aren't dirty.

Each pod is only good for one use so, 6.99/12 is roughly $0.58 per use.

I can stretch and come up with a place it could be useful ... maybe if a big law firm had one in some sort of breakroom and lawyers could go in there and freshen up their suits before a big meeting .. because you know they had been playing flag football in their suits over lunch . Otherwhise yeah, it seems like the rich person's equivalent of having an unused exercise bike in your bedroom.

She's the last known living 100% pure human - who's had so many treatments and stuff she looks like that. And has attendants to move her around and to moisturize her constantly. She's only in like 2 episodes. There's also the awesome tree lady <Beth goes back to Goggle to find out her name> who flirts with the Doctor and he seems interested as I recall. And I'll stop posting Doctor Who stuff for today because I'm windwilling precariously on the edge of that rabbit hole and I really do need to not fall down it today.

I've read this 3 times and still don't quite know what to say. The only thing that really went through my head is "man, Moffat is weird"

Damn the image isn't posting. Anyway, she's Jabe (or Jade I saw both this morning) of the Forest of Cheem.
And this is the Christopher Eccleston Doctor and it was written by Russell T Davies.
