[vivalalavatrice]

Hi all, my dear friends!

Several times I asked for your help end every you gave me the right answer, prompt, suggest...
Now one more!

As you know I'm working to a tesi which title is "Lavare", so everything concerning the washing like, washing-machine, dryers, detergents, sorting clothes, setting cycles, drying, hanging out...everything you thik ca be related to the wash is explained in this work

The help I need now consists in this: I've analyzed everything and now I have to suggest something for the future (remeber that this is an Eco-Design tesi!), so the question I'll be pleased you would like to answer to is

WHAT WILL OUR BEHAVIOUR BE LIKE IN WASHING TOMORROW? Apart from those tecnologies that could help the users in the laundry equipments (so do not think to what the tomorrow's laundry set be like), how do you think we could going on washing our clothes deeply saving our earth from water/energy wasting, pollution, global warming...?!!?!?

So anyone who has any idea on a new-clothes-sorting-way, new way-to-use-detergents, new-place-where-wash...any new way to organize the wash in our life...HANDS UP!

Thanks to everyone could help me!
Good Bye
Diomede

PS: Of course after I've finished this work I will show it to you completely!

1. "Washing" clothes without (or with a very minimal amount) of water---perhaps through the use of ultrasonic waves, radiation, dry chemicals and/or steam.

2. Detergents designed to start removing impurities from water as it runs through the sewer system, thus helping ease the burden at the water treatment plant.

These are just ideas for the future, not technologies that companies are actually implementing.

More edible pants and briefs. Maybe more clothing with dirt and stain repellent built into the fabric so soil would not stick nor would garments get stinky. What about underwear made out of the same type of corn starch product as those styrofoam packing peanuts that dissolve in water? They would be soft and not only disposable, but would melt away in water; no need even to flush or discard them. Just hop into the shower, turn around once and they are gone. There could even be models with something like odor eaters built right in to spare those close by during pressure equalizations.

that dissolve in water...

:-OOO :-(((... :-DDD

TOM...really a great (even if i'm still laughing!) FOUND!!

The IDRO-SOLUBLE underwear...what a better invention to eliminate
- the due to unwear your boxers/slips
- put them in the dirty clothes collectors
- wait for wash day and...pretreat,wash, dry, fold
- bring them back to your bedroom in the chester drawer!

Using more water.

I think washers should use more water in future, some people are having allergies just beacause of that.

It would be fine If nothing would change.
