Xeros 'Waterless' Washing Machine - Save time, money and ...... water!

The new 'Waterless' washing machine called the 'Xeros' (meaning dry in Greek) uses nylon beads along with a tiny amount of water and detergent to complete a wash. The beads absorb the water after it has dissolved dirt and draws it in to the centre of the bead. The washing machine retracts the beads at the end of the cycle, leaving only clean washing to remove. The beads will be re-usable for up to 6 months or for approximately 100 loads.

 

This new invention is big in saving energy, water and money and will hopefully be available in the UK after it has been launched in the US. Energy is also saved as the clothes are virtually dry when the cycle ends and cuts the need for a high energy using tumble dryer. The American inventors clim that the Xeros saves 40% of carbon emissions over regular washing and drying.

 

 

We look forward to seeing the Xeros over here in the near future, just hope it doesn't leave us penniless!
