SYNTHETIC fibres tend to make low quality clothing. But one of the properties that makes nylon a poor choice of fabric for a shirt, namely its ability to attract and retain dirt and stains, is being exploited by a company that has developed a new laundry system. Its machine uses no more than a cup of water to wash each load of fabrics and uses much less energy than conventional devices.
人造纖維通常用來制作低質(zhì)量衣物。尼龍很容易沾染污漬，這是它不適合用來制作襯杉的原因之一。不過，這項特質(zhì)卻在一家公司開發(fā)的新型洗衣系統(tǒng)中發(fā)揮了效用。這種洗衣機每次洗滌用水不超過一杯，耗用的能源也比常規(guī)設備少很多。
