Swirl - Lingerie Washing Machine - *US Patent - pending*
Swirl is a wall mounted, mini lingerie washing machine that comes with a detachable, flexi-washing bag, in replacement of a traditional washing drum, and a revolutionary gentle washing and drying method that protects your delicates.
By separating the mechanical components and the drum of a washing machine into two separate entities, Swirl has a compact body, which can be wall-hang onto a common small bathroom for easy access to water supply and drainage. Having made the drum a flexible bag, it can be stored away when not in use or serves like a laundry basket for accumulation of laundry and be attached onto the machine directly for washing later. Gym-goers and swimmers also benefit from the portability of the washing bag to store their workout attire after use and the convenience of direct attachment for washing.
Swirl uses a washing method that resembles the way one would hand-wash her lingerie – by plunging their delicates in and out of water. By reversing the medium around, Swirl plunges water in and out of the bag forcefully to agitate the washing between the garments. During the drying process, water is being sucked out completely from the bag, and the bag will conform to the shape of the brassieres, thus further pressing the water out of the garments. Throughout the processes, the brassieres do not undergo any pulling or twisting actions that would warp and damage the delicates like conventional washing machine does.
