Environmentally cleaning process debuts in Channel 4's Homes of the Future

Xeros has debuted its environmentally friendly cleaning process on Channel 4 in a new series that showed how an ordinary family could use cutting edge technologies and gadgets to tackle challenges such as energy and water use, as they sought to adapt to low carbon living

The series followed the Perera family at 'work, rest and play' and showed what they might eat, how they might travel, stay healthy and power their homes in the future. It posed various challenges to the family and offers a glimpse into what solutions are available now and in the future. Xeros featured in a programme titled 'Work.' Bill Westwater, chief executive of Xeros welcomed Channel 4 to the company's R&D facility at the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Sheffield in August last year, to show how the technology transforms the way clothes are cleaned by a process that uses polymer beads to 'attract' stains. The gentle flow of small polymer beads acts just like hand washing, tumbling with the washload and transporting stains off garments to be locked into the bead molecular structure. This environmental system uses only a fraction of the water, energy and detergent that is required for conventional cleaning.
