TWL: Re: Wonder Wash

Hi Charles,

I hadn't used it up until your e-mail arrived, which spurred me to
action!  Loaded it with a pair of jeans, half a dozen tee shirts and some
underwear.  Normal soiling but no grease or used diesel oil etc.  Quarter
of a capful of liquid detergent and six quarts of hot water.  Tumbled for
three or four minutes, drained, then rinsed three times with cold water
(eight quarts each time) before I was satisfied it was rinsed clean.  It
seemed to wash just as clean as normal machine or hand washing.  Apart from
one screw thread, it's made entirely from a hard plastic.  Seems quite
strong, but I wouldn't subject it to any hard impacts.

My two cents:  more work than a machine, less work than hand
washing.  Usefully frugal on water and detergent.  Corrosion free, but
needs care in storage.  If it does break I'll definitely buy another!

Regards,

Martin

What are we discussing here? Seems I missed the original posting for
this Wonder Machine. Is anyone else also in the dark? Please
repost/explain. Tks, George
