Something New And Very Green In The Laundry

I’ve read about a company called Xeros in The Times today. Their washing machines use 80% less water, 50% less energy and 50% less detergent.

The technology has been spun (?) out of Leeds University and uses special beads to clean the washing. They’re also talking about a washing machine with no programmes ( i.e. a man button!)

They’re not available for domestic use! Yet!

But if all machines in the UK were this efficient, then the water saved would fill twenty million swimming pools!
