New Technologies Redefine Home Laundry
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Xeros
Technologies (LN: XSG), the developer of polymer technologies
which radically improve the sustainability and performance in
water-intensive consumer and industrial processes, today announced
three new technologies that will define the future of laundry in
the home: XOrb™, XDrum™ and XFiltra™. The combination of these
technologies provide consumers with enhanced fabric care, superior
cleaning, cost savings and a much more sustainable laundry solution
that substantially lowers water usage by up to 50% and addresses
the environmental impact of microplastics from synthetic
clothing.
Xeros is demonstrating these transformational home laundry
technologies at Booth #42552 in the Sands Expo, Level 2, at the
Consumer Electronics Show, January 9-12,
2018, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Xeros will also be demonstrating its innovations at the
ShowStoppers event at the Wynn Hotel on January 9, 2018.
The challenge with home laundry today
When clothes are washed with a traditional home washing machine,
they are subjected to extensive mechanical action as well as large
amounts of chemicals and hot water. This harsh environment stresses
the clothes, causing them to lose their appearance and shortens
their lifespan. It is estimated that each laundry cycle creates
hundreds of thousands of microfibers that are flushed away in the
wastewater and eventually find their way into rivers, lakes and
oceans to the detriment of wildlife and our food chain. Xeros' new
technologies help to solve these problems.
Xeros has invented three technologies that work seamlessly
together to produce amazing washing results at the lowest cost to
both the consumer and the environment while extending garment and
fabric life.
Xeros Home Laundry Technologies:
XOrb Polymer Technology
At the heart of Xeros'
home laundry system is the XOrb polymer technology. XOrbs
represent years of research focused on the needs of the consumer
and the need to save a valuable resource – water. Allowing washing
machines to work more efficiently while using just a fraction of
the water traditionally needed, XOrbs deliver a range of features
including cold water washing, powerful stain removal, easier
ironing and garment protection that keep clothes looking newer for
longer. XOrbs last for many hundreds of washes before needing to be
replaced and recycled.
XDrum In-Drum Technology
The XDrum is an
elegant and inexpensive system which enables manufacturers to
incorporate XOrb technology into home washing machine designs.
This means that for the first time, manufacturers will be able to
offer consumers the many benefits of washing with XOrbs that have
only been available to commercial laundry operations.
XFiltra Filtration Technology
The XFiltra is a
filtering technology that greatly reduces the number of microfibers
entering the water cycle. The XFiltra features a clever and elegant
design for easy cleaning and hassle-free maintenance. It means that
there is finally a solution that addresses the rising environmental
impact that harmful microfibers are having on marine life. See

Three technologies working together in one
solution
When a wash cycle is started, XOrbs are
added from inside the XDrum to mix with the clothes along with a
small amount of water. The XOrbs gently massage the garments,
loosening dirt and stains while reducing the tendency for the
garments to crease. The minimal cold water required for the
wash cycle is filtered with the XFiltra, reducing microfibers that
go down the drain. When the wash cycle is completed, the XOrbs
automatically return to a holding area inside of the XDrum and are
ready to be used again for the next wash. Clothes can then be
removed like a traditional washing machine, but with cleaner and
better results.
"Our core purpose at Xeros is to give washing machine
manufacturers and home laundry customers a washing solution that
delivers unparalleled cleaning results and garment care, at the
lowest cost, and with the greatest sustainability for our planet,"
said Mark Nichols, CEO, Xeros. "We
are delighted to be unveiling at CES our completely new, simple,
and transformational technologies that deliver unprecedented
results to the world's consumers."
