River on High Tech Low Tech

My idea was to do away with the high-tech washing machine.  We could skip a step if the laundry baskets that collected our clothes were able to clean our clothes.  I think we would still need the washing machine for the big messes, but for just slightly dirty clothes, the laundry basket could have some sort of special light or spray that sanitized and made the laundry smell better.  That means making the low-tech basket into something high tech.
