海尔推出世界上最小的洗衣机

Are you a messy eater, who always ends up with bits of food or stains splattered on their clothing? 

你是不是一个有点邋遢的吃货呢？每次吃完东西总是弄得哪里都是碎渣，衣服总是溅上污点？ 

Then perhaps a new pocket washing machine - believed to be the world's smallest - is the answer to your problems. 

The newly designed Coton handy washer, produced by Chinese electronics firm Haier, is the same-size as an electric shaver and can remove anything from dirt to those dreaded red wine stains. 

It is powered by three AAA batteries and aims to prevent those frustratingly long waits in the dry cleaners by targeting troublesome stains such as coffee, grass or oil. 

The device, created by AQUA (a subsidiary of Haier Group in China), is already flying off the shelves in Japan where it costs 10,800 Yen or £60. 

The portable gadget - which weighs just 200g - uses a method called 'squeeze washing' which removes stains in 30 seconds. 

It works by first applying liquid detergent on a piece of kitchen paper, before washing over it with the nozzle of the Coton device. 

It then pumps a small amount of water over the stain at 700 beats a minute.
