Japanese washing machines look like space capsules, but don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out how to get your clothes clean and fresh. All you have to do is follow my instructions. (Or you could just wear your dirty clothes until they become stiff as cardboard.)

First thing you have to do is turn the thing on. They are voice activated so simply say "On" in a clear loud voice. (Just kidding. I hope you really didn't do it). is the "on" symbol for almost any appliance in your home. Go ahead and turn the washer on.
