refurbishes
Makes like new
Refurbishes is the third-person singular of refurbish, meaning to restore something to good condition through cleaning, repairing, or updating.
The word typically applies to physical objects—furniture, electronics, buildings: The company refurbishes old computers for resale.
Unlike renovate, which suggests major structural changes, refurbish implies freshening up what already exists.
