Like a french press you put clothes into a cylinder, full with water and some soap and push the plunger to agitate the clothing. There should be a blender possibly powered by crank or electric at the buttom to agitate the clothing. The water can be drained and then the plunger squeeze water out of it.
Interesting gizmo

Can I hook it up to a stationary bike? |

Probably better than my stove-top espresso laundromat. [+] |

Fill your pockets with coffee grounds and make cups of coffee at the same time. |

In go the clothes, out comes.... |

Hey, is there something specific that keeps you from putting the idea into the text field rather than in the summary?
(I've fixed it up a few times now.) Editing everything in a single line can't be fun. |

Hi Jutta sorry for causing inconvenience |

I thought the font was different. I'll put description in the main field from now on. |

How is this different from a washing machine? |
|
| |
I was trying to think of a clothes washing machine that could work in the bedroom or bathroom and take minimal space. |
|
| |
Washing machines seem to have a drum cylinder you place things into from the side. Where's a cafeterie you put items in from the top. |
|
| |
I was thinking - what if sinks in bathrooms could have a cafeterie washer? You fill up with the tap and there's an agitation feature |
|
| |
People travelling wash clothes in the sink or the shower, I was wondering if there is a simpler and faster way to agitate wash and dry fast |
|
| |
A cafeteria plunger could squeeze most of the water out of the single t shirt at a time |
|
| |
Another thought - the drum could be rectangular and sized large enough for a single shirt |
|
| |
Just thought of a miniature stain remover next to the tap in public restrooms
You slide the device over the stain and under the other side and press a button and it released hot soapy water at pressure against the clothing and then you use a hair dryer to dry it
The two sides of the device one can suck up water and the other apply it |
|
| |
You should look at the link about mini washing machines [Chrono]. Also, I wonder whether the cafetière drying idea could benefit from a suction pump to pull the drain water out of the bottom, and out of the clothes? Would it be more efficient than centrifugal drying? |
