But there's no mystery about the marvellous things Zoric does for your clothes. It searches out hidden dirt-cleanses the fabric ever so gently, ever so thoroughly. It perks up the nap, brings colour back to bloom, puts that new-day softness into woollens, restores the show-window luster to silks and satins. But doesn't leave a trace of odour.
