Hi everyone, this is actually a scheduled post as I’m currently away this Easter holiday, nevertheless, we’re bringing you a fascinating piece of gadget for your daily gadget needs!

What we have here below is the concept called the “Wash Up”, it’s actually a verily ‘green’ concept and I really appreciate the thought that’s been put into this. Though some may say it’s rather disgusting, the concept basically involves having the washing machine stacked above and sort of connected to your toilet which is situated below it.

As we all know, no matter how much water you try to save, it’s difficult to adjust the washing machine so that it doesn’t waste away too much water that’s essentially clean. The concept of “Wash Up” takes advantage of this by preserving and storing away the water that would otherwise be drained away. This water is then reused for flushing whenever necessary! A very simple and obvious idea, but no one has come up with something like it until now.

As an added bonus the washing machine is situated higher off the ground, making it easier to load and unload clothing without having to crouch down. It also has the advantage of allowing people who live in smaller apartments to actually have room for a washing machine, since the space used by the toilet and washer overlap.

What question has just sprung up in my mind, what if you were a student and you didn’t actually wash for weeks? No toilet water? :P
