Didn't something (exactly the same principle) came up a year ago, also from the UK, and voted as bogus? |

In theory it looks good but as many have said what about bacteria and stains etc and i am sure none of us are going to clean one shirt at a time lol be there all day doing that. I personally dont think we should be using less water in washing machines we should be using more but finding a more economical way of heating the water instead of elements. And can you imagine the amount of nylon beads going to landfills every year as they can only be used a few hundred times. i wash 2-3 times a day so could imagine how many i would get through in a few years. |

Its being geared for the commercial market, laundries etc, interesting concept though, at least we are seeing new ways of washing being tested out, the question is will us in this club like no water...think I know what the answer is...LOl "How to Clean Your Clothes with Plastic: Nylon beads sit in the outer of two nested drums. When both drums rotate, the absorbent beads fall through the mesh of the inner drum to tumble with your laundry, where they dislodge and trap dirt. After the wash cycle finishes, the outer drum stops moving and centripetal force pushes the beads back through the mesh into the outer drum, where they await your next mess." Paul Wootton |
