An anecdote has been passed along that one of the people testing the prototype reported that he finally had to clean out the lint trap in his dryer after 54 loads of wash, mute testimony to the gentleness of the laundry machine process. The difference between using detergent and using the laundry machine is that detergent builds up in your clothes. As the detergent builds up in your clothes it increases the amount of zeolytes in them. Zeolytes are like miniture rocks and they act the rocks that our foremothers used to wash their clothes on. Besides helping to get dirt out of your clothes they act like sandpaper that abraids the fabric and not only abraids the fabric during the washing cycles but continues to abraid the fabric when you wear the clothes. No wonder new clothes become old in a hurry. The laundry machine process takes the detergent out of your clothes and also the zeolytes out of your clothes reducing the abrasion allowing your clothes to last longer.
The chemicals in detergent also tend to dull the colors in your clothes, the laundry machine removes these chemicals allowing the natural colors of the fabric return. The removal of detergent from your clothes also reduces the amount of chemicals you are exposed to on a regular basis. Those with skin conditions and allergies will probably benefit the most, but the rest of us will also benefit from not having the exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.
