Check out this ultrasonic cleaner thats like carrying a washing machine in your pocket

Whether youre trudging clothes to a laundromat or running huge loads in your own house, washing clothes is always a production. And its almost even worse if you dont have a whole lot of dirty clothes that need cleaning.

Washing one shirt, a dress or a pair of pants with a stain requires 15 to 30 gallons of water for a single load, not to mention the energy cost of powering through an entire wash cycle. And if you happen to be on the road and need to get some clothes washed, the hotel could charge upwards of $70 for a medium-sized load.

Forced to contend with those unappealing choices, you may want to take a hard look into the practical new ultrasonic washers like the handy little Sonic Soak.

Weighing less than 4 ounces and less than 5 inches long, the Sonic Soak actually looks like one of Dr. McCoys old medical scanners on Star Trek. But actually, its attached to a control unit that generates 50,000 ultrasonic vibrations per second. Just put your clothes in a sink or bowl, fill it with water, then drop the Sonic Soak in and fire it up.

The ultrasonic waves produce microscopic bubbles that implode and vacuum out stains, dirt, bacteria and pretty much anything else your fabric picked up, leaving clean clothes while using 40 times less water and 15 times less energy than standard washing machines. Its especially great for delicate apparel that you dont want to subject to the rigors of a full wash cycle. Read the rest
