Scientists at University of Leeds have developed a new washing machine named Xeros that carries out a full wash using only one cup of water, leaving clothes virtually dry. The Xeros technology, developed by Professor Stephen Burkinshaw, enables massive savings to be made in the amount of water and energy consumed during the washing, scouring, dyeing and printing of textiles. It uses less than 2 per cent of the water and energy of a conventional machine. According to statistics an average household uses about 20 litres of water daily washing clothes.
