100 Quadrillion?
In contrast to the new product discussed below comes this new front-loading washer from Samsung Electronics. As well as saving on energy, the washer also precludes the need for bleach.
Organochlorines, a byproduct of the chlorine in laundry bleach, make their way into waterways as part of effluent, or wastewater. Many are carcinogenic. All are toxic. Organochlorines are persistent in the environment, so not releasing them at all is much further ahead than trying to clean them away after the fact. Enter SilverCare.
For those who already forego the use of chlorine bleaches, kudos to you. Did you know, however, that scientific testing shows your laundry can still be sporting significant microbial contamination, even after the last rinse cycle? To foil those dastardly microbes in their bid to lurk undetected in your PJ's and your soccer socks, the SilverCare Washer injects metallic silver atoms, electrolytically stripped of an electron, during the wash and rinse cycles, "allowing over 100 quadrillion silver ions to penetrate deep into the fabric to sanitize clothing without the need for hot water or bleach." Samsung boasts that their process "removed or killed 99.9%" of the contamination.
If you're in the market for a new washer, and you're good with the $1,300.00 price tag, check this one out. No more organochlorines, or smelly socks for you!

I didn't know there was such a thing as non-chlorine bleach?
Gotta love nanotechnology. A similar concept is being used in new bandages for burns -- especially severe burn victims. Silver apparently helps with oxidization. A neely developed bandage is coated with a nano layer of silver, which helps to speed healing, and not require changes as often. (If I had like chemistry, I would have paid attention and could explain this ... but I didn't.)
There is also similar nanotechnology at work in new stain resistant pants; toilet bowls that self-clean; and windows that resist grime and water. They all work by having a nano layer on they creates an uneven surface so tiny, that regular molecules (including live bugalinis) can't fit into, so they don't stick to the surface. Voila! No need for harmful cleaners.
