Washing Machine Chairs

The Alternative Clothes Cleaner

As an innovative solution to maximizing small-space living, Harsha Vardhan designed the Alternative Clothes Cleaner, a comfy living room chair that can also be used as a comfortable and stylish seat.

Vardhan, who is from New Delhi, India designed the Alternative Clothes Cleaner machine with two modes, one meant for washing, the other for sitting or for when the device is not in use. To top it off, the machine is also eco-friendly because it requires no detergent or the use of water. Instead, there is a pressure washer style system inside which uses ionized air, eliminating the need for a dryer as well.

I absolutely love any concept that will make doing the laundry easier and even fun! Bring it on! Please.
