Frequently Asked Questions

How many cartridges come with the bag?

With the purchase of your NOVO, you will receive four complimentary scented filter cartridges. These scented filter cartridges leave behind a nice aroma inside, delivering an enhanced user experience when opening the bag after a refreshing cycle is complete.

How often do you need to replace the scent cartridge?

Each cartridge is good for about 30 items - the cartridge stays fresh for up to 45 days after opening.

How is DRESSFRESH technology different from a typical laundry cycle?

Unlike traditional laundry cleaning cycles which remove dirt and stains, ionclean technology will sanitize and refresh your clothes, shoes, sports gear and more, without the use of water, heat or sprays. This eco-friendly process runs in two stages; the first charges air to create ionized oxygen, a powerful natural cleaner that eliminates anything living at the microbial level, effectively neutralizing odor molecules on your items. The second stage then filters the air through a scented cartridge to complete the refreshing cycle, while leaving behind a nice aroma.

How long is the battery life?

NOVO includes built-in fast chargers and a 10,000 mAh battery bank. Within the app, you can view NOVO’s battery life and cartridge/filter life.
