The waterless washing machine discovered by Professor Stephen Burkinshaw was created by “Xeros” to replace the old/traditional idea of cleaning clothes. The product is cost-effective and a potential to display smaller carbon footprint. Pakistani Brand Dawlance took up the idea with its machines ‘No water- less detergent’.

The design is stylish as well as cost effective as it saves a huge amount of water.

   4.Time your shower if not bucketing it!

Either use a shower bucket to gallons of water from draining down the gutter or reduce time while taking a shower from 10 to 7 minutes.
