Waterless Washing Machine

Some things sound too good to be true and are, however some sound too good to be true but aren't, and this appears to be one of them. Waterless Washing Machine � Celsias: "developed at the University of Leeds, ... a clean load of laundry for less than 2% of the water and energy of a conventional washing machine. The process works by replacing water with plastic polymer chips which are tumbled with the clothes to remove stains. The technology has been proven to measure up to cleaning industry standards, removing virtually all types of everyday stains as effectively as existing processes whilst leaving clothes as fresh as normal washing and dry enough to dispense tumble-drying."
It may be available in 2009 or 2010. It could be the Dyson of the washing world; another notch in the belt of British invention.
