Pedal-Powered Clothes Cleaners

The Laundring Washing Machine Puts Conventional Cleaners Out to Dry

— February 22, 2010 — Art & Design
Anyone reading this is likely to have lived, at one point, in an apartment building or high-rise where they have had to use a laundromat. We all know how much fun those things are. There's never an available machine, someone mixes up their load with yours, or worst of all, someone steals your clothes. The Laundring Washing Machine will make sure you never have to set foot inside a laundromat again.

Designed by Shang-Che Wu, the Laundring Washing Machine is a personalized cleaner that won't cost you an arm and a leg, mainly because there are not many elaborate parts contained within.

The Laundring Washing Machine uses pedals to drive a "coaxial bi-directional rotating mechanism that generates high cleaning two-way flow to clean all dirty laundries". You'll never have to deal with missing underwear again!
