Washing? laundry with out water. I'm sure its going to be so wonderful finding plastic beads in pant and shirt pockets. Not to mention in my underwear.<br><br>I'd like to see just how  these little plastic beads clean a load of baby diapers. Something tells me, the diapers won't do well passing a sniff  test. Nor would I care to recycle the same beads that cleaned? the diapers, in another load of laundry.<br><br>Its just like these newer washers that have a steam cycle. The steam cycle works great on removing wrinkles, and truly does freshen clothing. Providing the the clothing being steamed/freshened is (CLEAN) to begin with. Again, steam does not work well removing poo, poo. One would tend to end up with a "dung" not so fresh smell.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Donovansdanes]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 11th 2009 10:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Earth-Friendly Appliances for Your Home]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</guid><description><![CDATA[And who the hell is going to pick through the clothes to get out all those little beads? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[me]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 11th 2009 11:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Earth-Friendly Appliances for Your Home]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</guid><description><![CDATA[...and do those nylon beads get dummped into the ocean clogging the gills and intestines of the seal life?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rehanna]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 11th 2009 11:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Earth-Friendly Appliances for Your Home]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</guid><description><![CDATA[What a bunch of crap!  We now have a front-loading Whirlpool washing machine that takes less water, and I absolutely hate it!!!!!!  Sure, it uses less water and less soap, and it also DOES NOT get your clothes clean.  Especially for my husband's clothes that he plays tennis in, I put twice as much soap, and then run them through the wash and then run them through again with only water to get out the soap.<br><br>I can't believe that we the consumers allow manufacturers, who are influenced by big government, to make the garbage they make in the name of green.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[G Harris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2009 12:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Earth-Friendly Appliances for Your Home]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</guid><description><![CDATA[G Harris you hit the nail on the head!  My front loading Bosch (supposedly one of the best) is garbage!  It takes the oils left on your clothes by lotions, etc. and deposits them on anything white in the load, in the form of nasty grey globs that do not come out, no matter what I try!  I use more water re-washing stuff than if I'd kept my old top loading machine!  And what a smell if you don't leave the door open to dry out the washer after each use!  P-U!  One more surprise they don't tell you about when you buy it!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sillygirl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2009 12:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Earth-Friendly Appliances for Your Home]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</guid><description><![CDATA[Easier just to do away with clothes ... let's all go naked !  LOL.  Kinda reminds me of the 'race to the sun' by the three super powers.  Five years later, one had built a rocket to fly to and land on the sun; one built the spacesuit so man could walk on the sun; and the last one had nothing to new to show but their old technology. Asked why they didn't develop anything new, they replied, "We were ready to go five years ago.  You wouldn't listen then, but we kept silent until today.  We simply recommend going at night !" ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ProfSmartski]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2009 12:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Earth-Friendly Appliances for Your Home]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</guid><description><![CDATA[bought one of the new front loader washer and dryer to do my part. had it less than a year. clothes started to have a smell to them like they weren't clean. talked to a plumber and his comment was not enough water went through them (washer) to get rid of the grey water. gave set away and went back to new set of top loading washer with second rinse available. can't find that smell anymore, thank goodness. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[suddendeath11]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2009 2:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Earth-Friendly Appliances for Your Home]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</guid><description><![CDATA["Available commercially but the home market will soon follow", only after they bend you over and butt slam you like the pharmasudical companies do with a new drug.

It's very difficult to get clothes clean in such a small amount of water and there is no ability to soak items such as tennis shoes.  My kids need their sneakers cleaned every once in a while.  Not a fun experience!  I went back to a top loader.     ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nightowl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2009 3:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Earth-Friendly Appliances for Your Home]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</guid><description><![CDATA[....nylon beads?!?!?! are u serious!!!??!? have you SEEN how much they have polluted the ocean? They are very popular as a small and transportable ingredient in plastic products...but they easily fall and make their way, inevitably... to the ocean. Where they dont decay and they float."The Eastern Pacific Garbage Patch, situated in remote waters between California and Hawaii, is created by ocean currents that pick up millions of tons of the world's discarded plastic." ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Crimsonrayne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2009 4:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Earth-Friendly Appliances for Your Home]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/11/earth-friendly-appliances-for-your-home-2/</guid><description><![CDATA[The eastern pacific garbage patch is twice the size of Texas.
