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.
