Soap-Nut Washing Machine Designed To Wash Without Detergent
Hungarian designer Levente Szabó won the 2007 Electrolux Design Lab competition with his concept for the “E-wash,” a washing machine that substitutes “soap nuts” for chemical detergent which are completely organic.
In India and Nepal, people have used the soap nut (sapindus mucorossi) for centuries to get their clothes clean. Now an entry in the Electrolux Design lab 2007 competition brings this ancient cleaner into a modern appliance.
