On sale soon in France: An innovative washing machine that needs no detergent. This means a coupla things: 1) no harsh phosphates and other chemicals into the environment and; 2) No need to buy detergent!
How does it work? Basically, the machine changes the water molecules and breaks them down into specific elements, which then work to sterilize the clothes. If you absolutely have to use detergent, there’s an option to do so (but if you were to do that, why would you want this washing machine in the first place?)
Available soon for €699 ($954).

I wonder how clean your clothes get by using this machine? The ones here suck. At least now, they have models with built in dryers so that you don’t need to run back and forth to put things in…now only if they invent the machine to fold the laundry too 
And who says that France is technologically backwards?
I believe I got asked 2 years ago before my first trip if France had internet and if I could go online…… ::roll::
