I have just read an article about a waterless washer - yikes!! Reading through the article is appears the washing can be done using ions. (Article attached) This will be so sad, we'll only have a few vintage machines to keep us going. Do you think this technology will be possible? Rob CLICK HERE TO GO TO robm's LINK |

Deodorants? Oh people, adding scent and / or deodorants to a space, a room,hard-goods or clothing does not WASH or clean it. It masks the real problem. Have no fear, this will probably progress as well as microwave-energy heated dryers did. Perhaps as an ADDED feature to a real washer.......... And why /how did the world wake-up so suddenly and realize that water is life and should not be polluted or wasted? |

I am pretty stuborn.What is wrong with what i have now. I have a rotary phone in the kitchen and in the bedroom( one is fitted with a touch tone modulaor on it), if is not broke, don't fix it. From what the article said, it said stain removal. Try putting my comfoter in that little thing after the cat throws up on it. Ikkky!!! It is just nice to put it in the washer, put it on 140 F and wala!! It just seems wrong to me. So very wrong!!

I think this is a nice idea (for some - not me) but I think it is unrealistic. What I can perhaps see is detergents that only need 1 rinse (if any at all). Maybe even additives for the last rinse that improve creaseless washing and make drying easier. Driers might improve with a system were water is evaporated without the heat perhaps. These things, I think may be possible one day. |

And my detergent collection is getting worse than jons wardrobe too! Im getting me some new Bold flavour tonight! For a flower scent its very nice. Crushed silk and jasmine. Nick
