The Dual Washer is about to reduce the amount of pink shirts in the world.
Designed by Ji Young Song, the Dual Washer is a washing machine with a catch; the circular machine has two separate compartments: one for colors, and another for whites. Since having to do two separate rounds of laundry in order to avoid mixing the colors with the whites uses more water, electricity and washing detergents -- and not to mention money, for those of us who use coin laundry machines -- the Dual Washer solves all of these problems in one round.
The Dual Washer works essentially the same as any other washing machine, only with one large drum compartment on the outside periphery and a smaller one on the inside.
