The Future of Clean Clothes

Washing machines and dryers became a staple of modern living decades ago. Their existence provided families with cleaner clothes, quicker and with less work. Since the first commercial machines started showing up in homes, though, little has changed. Certainly washing machines have been designed to hold bigger load and work on multiple settings. Your clothes dryer can offer more options in terms of the amount of heat it uses. But overall, the actual model used for these two machine has remained relatively constant.

As it turns out, though, there has been an alternative for quite some time. Environmentally friendly options, for example, have been around since the late nineties. They hold a smaller amount of laundry at once, but they also use far less electricity. Spin dryers, as they’re called, simply spin the clothes so quickly that the water is drained out of them. There are also similar versions of washers. These provide a great alternative to traditional washing machines. As they’re much smaller, they can handle smaller loads, quicker and with less water used. This is great for people who just need one shirt washed for tomorrow’s meeting or people who use cloth diapers.

Despite their long history, traditional washers and dryers may be replaced sooner rather than later. Environmentally friendly options make it easier and cheaper to wash and dry clothes.
