The future of washing machine has come. Thanks to Wendy Chua and Gabriel Tan, Industrial Design students from National University of Singapore (NUS). They invented the Airwash, the waterless washing machine - yes, a washing machine without using water and detergents. No need to buy detergents and pay water bills anymore! Yay! Save lots of money, of course.


Excerpted from National University of Singapore:

Called Airwash, the waterfall-inspired washing unit is waterless and does not use detergents. Instead, it utilises negative ions, compressed air and deodorants to clean clothes. By using atmospheric air and negative ions – a natural cleansing agent – it fights dirt and bacteria with nature’s own weapon. Airwash is also designed to be placed anywhere in the home, instead of the designated laundry area.

As reported by IOL:

Industrial design students Wendy Chua, 21, and Gabriel Tan, 23, said they were inspired by the technology in air purifiers, which uses negative ions to clump dirt and bacteria, making it easier for the particles to be sucked out. The ions are a natural cleaning agent.

It does away with the expensive task of sending clothing to be dry cleaned and protects favourite garments, said Chua.
