Wash Clothes Using One Cup of Water
Xeros has introducing environmentally friendly washing machine that will use very little water to wash clothes. But common consumers have to wait for such a washing machine. Xeros will produce it for hotels and drycleaners first.
The appliance, which could save billions of litres of water a year, has been developed at the University of Leeds.
It uses less than 10 per cent of the water of conventional machines and 30 per cent less energy by replacing most of the water with thousands of tiny reusable plastic beads to attract and absorb dirt under humid conditions.

That’s one of the most amazing inventions I’ve heard about-would love to know what makes it tick,err,clean with minimal water…maybe a vaccuum system,I think,in some way, besides the plastic beads.

There are some environmentalist that question the materials used in nearly waterless washing machines like this from Zeros. But if this gets approved and it becomes massively produced for domestic use, it is a huge help to us users not only because it is energy and water efficient but also because it does not easily accumulate in molds and mildew. This might just be the next big thing after front loaders.
