I have invented a environmentally friendly clothes dryer for the lady’s?
This revolutionary Eco device will not only leave your clothes iron ready it will also provide fresh air and exercise.
My invention consists of two heavy rollers on a stand driven by means of a large rotating handle , you insert your garment between the two rollers , and turn the handle thus removing water.
This device should be operated out side , do you think it will catch on , and what should I call it?

Good Deal on Clothing Dryers?
My dryer at home is broken and my family is thinking of buying a new one, right now were using a really shi**y one. I’m looking for dryers, not to expensive (under $1000) that is eco–friendly and we’ll save us money overall. So if anyone can give me a website link where i can find some good deals, that would be great!

James asks…
Do any of you use soap flakes in your washing machines instead of the powder?
I’m trying to be more eco friendly and avoid harsh chemicals.
I read on the side of my soapflake packet that it can be used with a washing machine so I did a load of laundry and they seem to have come out okay.
Do any of you use this instead of the powder and does it work as well? What do you do about stains? Does it work on the white stuff?
I was using Persil.
The soapflakes have rinsed out of the clothes okay and there doesn’t seem to be any residue.
The Expert answers:
I do prefer liquid detergent as well….if you’re concerned about being eco-friendly, you could make your own detergent.
I found this recipe (though I’ve never used it or know anyone who has, it does sound like it is pretty straight-forward and it does sound like it would work….given you can find the materials!)

Laura asks…
When making paper, what methods/things could you add/change to the procedure to make the product cloth-like?
When making paper what methods or things could you add/change to the procedure to make the product cloth-like?
For our science project, we are trying to make biodegradable and disposable clothing from recycled paper.
It is better if the methods that are suggested are eco–friendly, not too hard or complicated and can be accomplished without the use of industrial machinery and chemicals that are hard to find/acquire.
It would be really great if that something you suggested or answered is something that you can merely add to the (paper) pulp to get the desired results of it being more cloth-like.
It also would be great if you included an explanation with your methods and suggestions.
BTW i am also interested in good paper-making methods.
Thanks! 🙂 PEACE. 😀
