An Alternative to Traditional Washers and Dryers

November 16, 2013 by · Leave a Comment 

Washers and dryers have become such stables of our society that it’s difficult to imagine what life would be like without them. While many people sometimes elect to hang-dry their clothes, can you imagine life without washing machines?

While there’s probably turning back from washing machines and dryers, that doesn’t mean there aren’t alternatives. And these alternatives, as it turns out, can actually be much better.

Almost since their inception, washing machines have operated by taking on big loads all at once and then using lots of soap and water to clean them over a period of time (usually about an hour). However, what happens if you just need one outfit cleaned? We’ve all been in this situation and the answer is usually that we have to wait until we have enough dirty clothes to justify its cleaning or we don’t wear it.

Thanks to smaller, compact washing machines, you can simply washing that one outfit. It uses far less water and doesn’t take nearly as long.

Alright, now that’s nice and clean, it’s also wet. So now what? Well, if you keep to the alternative theme, you can simply use a countertop dryer. Many of these are no bigger than a blender, yet they get the job done—again, in a fraction of the time.

Just because we always used them, doesn’t mean we always need to. Try smaller washers and dryers today and see what everyone’s talking about.
