    Abstract: A laundry apparatus contains a steamer for providing steam, a first unit for blowing the steam towards a fabric and a second unit for blowing a hot gaseous matter towards the fabric, wherein the hot gaseous matter is formed by heating the gaseous matter also with the steam. An apparatus for removing wrinkles from garments contains a hanger for hanging a garment, a steam tube to blow steam into a sleeve of the garment, and an expandable component underneath the shoulder. The expandable component is in a compact state when the sleeve of the garment is initially hung from the shoulder, and in an expanded state to close the passage between the sleeve and a torso of the garment, wherein the steam blocked by the expandable component operates to remove wrinkles in the sleeve.

    Abstract: One variation of a method for autonomously processing a garment within a kiosk includes: accessing a set of garment characteristics of the garment, the set of garment characteristics including a garment type and a fabric type; based on the set of garment characteristics, selecting a target processing temperature, a target processing humidity, and a set of steam-processing parameters including a steam nozzle path and a steam nozzle speed. This variation of the method also includes: heating air within the kiosk toward the target processing temperature; injecting steam into the kiosk to drive humidity within the chamber toward the target processing humidity; articulating a steam nozzle along the steam nozzle path at the steam nozzle speed to impinge a steam jet across an interior surface of the garment, tension local areas of the garment against the steam jet, and heat local areas of the garment above the transition temperature.
