Folding clothes takes quite some time – boring time actually. With FoldiMate it was never as easy!!!

The interesting thing is that each item can be perfumed, softened and treated whilst being folded. Plus de-wrinkled. The company uses apparently the capsule system (comparable to Nespresso).

Obviously, i would be curious whether the consumer can pick their preffered scent  😉

Have a good start of the week! Yours, Fran

Mobile laundry service for homeless people

Orange Sky Laundry, a mobile laundry service that services Brisbane’s homeless community, was founded in 2014 by Nic Marchesi and Lucas Patchett, both 21, to restore respect and raise health standards for the 300-odd people who sleep on Brisbane’s streets every night.

The mobile service has since expanded into different cities and has completed over 70,000 kilograms of washing and had 15,000 hours of conversations with Australia’s homeless community.

They “chucked two washing machines and two dryers in our old van” and got stuck into it, not realising until much later they had “stumbled on a world first”.

This year the two founders claimed the Young Australian of the Year title.

Staffed by 65 volunteers, their van appears daily in spots where homeless people already connect with services such as shelters, soup kitchens and Fremantle’s Street Doctor and washes up to 100 kilograms of clothes weekly.

The service is entirely volunteer-run. Each load costs about $6. To volunteer or donate visit the website.

Great initiative guys! Yours, Fran

Turn your washing cycle into an ‘Exercycle’

Washing clothes can be a tedious task. It requires upper-body strength and an iron will. That is why most of us get our clothes washed by a maid, or with the washing machine. But those who do not have the means to afford any of the former, need to carry their load of clothes to the nearby lake and beat them senseless on the rocks in order to get the stains out.

For Remya Jose, this was an opportunity to invent a feasible solution, and she did! She was 14 when she developed a washing machine which does not require electricity. She transformed an ordinary cycle by connecting it to a paddling system, into a ‘Exercycle’ which can be used to get laundry done, while keeping fit!

Yours, Fran
