Giraropa

           El enfoque de ese concepto es que se gira la ropa en balde (cubo) para limpiarla. La montura arriba esta constuida de madera, tubos PVC (plastico), cuerda, y un balde. El diseño se puede ajustar para caber en qualquier tamaño de balde.

     The rotating concept is focus on using a rotating motion to agitate the clothes getting them clean. The top wooden frame is easily removable to easiy put in dirty cothes and remove dirty clothes. The frame and handle assembly are made using materials that are available locally in Peru. The materials are PVC pipe, wood, rope, and a bucket. The design can be adjusted to any size bucket, and has been constructed to require as little modifications as possible. 


Para usar, simplente hay que poner la ropa sucia adentro del balde con agua suficiente para remojarla y detergente en polvo adecuado. Gira la manija en ambos direcciones por 10 diez minutos. Vacíe el agua sucio, el luego la ropa limpia. Cuelgue la ropa para que seque.

To use Giraropa, simply put in the dirty clothes inside the bucket with enough water to soak the clothes, and the right amount of detergent powder. rotate the handle switching directions every two minutes for a total of 10 minutes. Empty the dirty water and hang the clothes to dry.
