Washing machines that somehow remove the odors and spots from your garments sans the use of water have been around the block a time or two, and while we’ve heard a mad scientist claim that he discovered soap-free cleaning, it’s Haier who’s making him look brilliant. The detergentless WasH20 reportedly works by breaking down water molecules into OH- and H+ ions, and while we hardly recall the last chemistry course we took, we suppose we’ll believe the claims for now. Apparently, the stains on the linens are “attracted and retained by ions of OH-, while the clothes are sterilized by the H+ ions.” Word on the street has that one landing in France soon for around €699 ($957), but don’t be surprised whether your threads come out of the wash mutated, vaporized, or worst of all, smelling precisely like they did when they went in.
