In a treatment position of the treatment brushes of the at least one pair, the treatment brushes are positioned relative to one another such that when an item of laundry to be treated is positioned between the treatment brushes, each of the treatment brushes of the at least one pair comes into contact with the item of laundry.
  • the treatment brushes of the at least one pair then act on the intermediate laundry item on both sides.
  • the brushes of the at least one pair are permanently positioned relative to each other in the treatment position, while in an alternative variant, the treatment brushes of the at least one pair can be positioned in the treatment position from a different position.
  • Such a configuration of a treatment module has the advantage that the contact of the brushes of the at least one pair on both sides with the item of laundry, which occurs in the treatment position, also introduces mechanical stresses into the item of clothing on both sides and accordingly a reliable smoothing out of folds/creases is achieved can.
  • a permanent positioning of the brushes in the treatment position allows a simple structure of the treatment module due to the then fixed positioning of the brushes, this variant being implemented in particular when the treatment module only has to be moved once along the item of laundry to be treated.
  • the positioning of the brushes in the treatment position from a different position makes it possible for the item of laundry to be moved along several times in one direction, while moving in the opposite direction by deliberately leaving sen the treatment position, contact of the brushes with the item of laundry is avoided, which could otherwise result in the introduction of new creases in the item of laundry.
  • a corresponding movable receptacle for the brushes must then be implemented in the treatment module.
  • the treatment brushes forming the at least one pair and facing each other in the treatment position are preferably formed with a shape corresponding to each other.
  • the brushes of a pair are then positioned, in particular, parallel to one another, so that linear or surface contact of the brushes with the item of laundry positioned between them is formed.
  • the brushes of the at least one pair are each in a plane in the treatment position, these planes being aligned parallel to one another and also to a plane in which the laundry item to be treated is arranged in its width and height direction.
  • the treatment brushes of the at least one pair are designed as rotatable round brushes.
  • the treatment brushes of the at least one pair are present as brushes that are equipped with the bristles or bristle-like elements on a cylindrical base body and can be rotated for contact with the item of laundry.
  • the treatment brushes of the at least one pair are designed as strip brushes. These strip brushes have an elongated, strip-like base body which is provided with the bristles or bristle-like elements on one side.
  • the two aforementioned variants can be mixed with one another in that at least one pair is formed by round brushes and at least one pair by strip brushes.
  • the use of several pairs of brushes has the advantage that it can be moved along the most varied of areas of the item of laundry to be treated and smoothed in the process.
  • the pairs of brushes are particularly preferably aligned in such a way that treatment brushes of one or more pairs are aligned with their longitudinal or rotational axes in the horizontal direction and thus in a width direction of the item of laundry to be treated, while the treatment brushes of one or more further pairs are oriented with their longitudinal or rotational axes in the vertical direction and thus in a vertical direction of the item of laundry to be treated.
  • treatment brushes of one or more pairs apply tension in the vertical direction and in particular away from a hanging device of the item of laundry, while the treatment brushes of one or more other pairs cause tension in the width direction of the item of laundry to be treated.
  • the bristles of the individual brushes are each aligned inclined away from a central plane of the brush. This advantageously results in the intermediate item of laundry being stretched in the width direction of the brush, which improves the smoothing effect.
  • other angular positions of the individual bristles relative to a base body of the respective brush are also conceivable within the meaning of the invention.
  • the geometry of the treatment brushes of the at least one pair is adapted to the circumstances, such as the geometry, of the item of laundry to be treated.
