They say that spring cleaning is good for the soul, not to mention good for your health. Those words ring true now more than ever thanks to cutting-edge appliances that make it easy to rid your home of pesky pollutants, germs and allergens for spring cleaning season.

We are all doing more these days to keep our homes safe from pollutants. Three out of five respondents in a recent Samsung survey reported that they had taken steps to beef up their cleaning routines – particularly at entry points – by disinfecting packages and washing their hands and clothing as soon as they got home. In addition, nearly two-thirds of parents surveyed said they felt overwhelmed by the need to maintain a clean home.

By quickly and efficiently eliminating all kinds of invisible irritants, Samsung’s latest home appliances offer the peace of mind that comes with a clean home. Follow along as we explore how these dynamic devices allow you to annihilate allergens and keep your space spick and span.

Bust Dust With Ease With the Samsung Jet and Clean Station

The Samsung Jet cordless stick vacuum cleaner adds new meaning to the phrase “powerful clean.”

Capable of generating an industry-leading 200W of suction – more than enough power to remove dust and dander from shaggy carpets – the Samsung Jet not only helps users keep their home spotless, but can also help them breathe cleaner air. That’s because the vacuum’s best-in-class 5 Layered filtration system traps 99.999 percent of dust and allergens¹ that would likely be released back into the air with other vacuums.

Lightweight and versatile, the Samsung Jet features a number of easily swappable heads that enable it to clean not just floors but also soft surfaces like mattresses and drapes, where microscopic dust and pests are known to gather. The vacuum’s telescoping shaft places virtually any surface within reach, allowing you to give everything from high corners to deep crannies a thorough clean.

The Samsung Clean Station is the perfect companion for the Samsung Jet, offering an innovative solution for emptying the vacuum’s dustbin. Roughly 400 times² more hygienic than conventional dustbins, the Clean Station features an airtight design that automatically empties the vacuum’s canister and prevents fine dust from being released into the air.

Breathe Easier With the Whisper-Quiet Cube Air Purifier

Speaking of air, spring is a time when we should be especially mindful of airborne irritants. It’s during this season that, with pollen wafting in the air – not to mention airborne germs and viruses – and allergens like dust mites and pet dander collecting in our homes, air purifiers become all the more important.

Just how much are these indoor allergens affecting our air quality? According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, eight out of 10 people in the U.S. are exposed to dust mites at home, while six out of 10 are exposed to pet dander. On top of that, concentrations of some pollutants can be two to five times higher indoors than outdoors. Those figures become all the more alarming when you factor in the fact that, as noted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the average American spends approximately 90 percent of his or her time indoors.

Samsung’s Cube Air Purifier was designed to help users breathe easier at home. The Cube’s 3 stage True HEPA Filtration System eliminates up to 99.97 percent of ultrafine dust,³ while its Activated Carbon Deodorization Filter removes various odors and potentially harmful gases from the air. It also features the world’s first Wind-Free air purification system, which, unlike other air-purifying technologies, does not produce loud noises or cold drafts.

Spruce Up Your Spring Wardrobe With the AirDresser

As the weather begins to warm, we start to pack up our winter clothes and break out our spring and summer wardrobes. However, before placing all your coats, padded jackets and winter bedding in storage, it’s always a good idea to give those items a quick freshening up.

Now, rather than washing heavy fabrics that take ages to dry, or packing up the car for a trip to the dry cleaner, you can pop your garments into Samsung’s AirDresser to give them a quick and thorough clean. The AirDresser combines powerful steam and air to remove up to 99 percent of bacteria, dust mites and odors.⁴ It also relaxes light wrinkles from the inside out, and dries clothes with gentle, low heat, which reduces the risk of heat damage and shrinking.

Once you’ve finished cleaning and storing your winter wear, the AirDresser allows you to freshen up your spring and summer outfits in a flash, without putting everything in the wash.

As we find ourselves spending more and more time indoors, attention has turned worldwide to solutions that can help us keep our homes clean as easily as possible. From removing particulate matter from any room to keeping your clothes and bedcovers free of unwanted mites, Samsung’s home appliances¹ are capable of keeping every corner of your house free of dust and allergens. So how can you make the most out of these innovative devices? Read on to see how you can easily incorporate them into your daily routine.

Refresh Your Garments With AirDresser

Washing your hands after coming home is a key part of best-practice hygiene, but you may still be concerned about the dust, bacteria, viruses and allergens that can linger on clothes after going outdoors. Sanitizing your clothes as soon as you get home is a surefire way to ensure peace of mind.

Samsung’s AirDresser is an easy way to freshen up garments that are difficult to wash on a regular basis, including coats, padded jackets, and suits. The AirDresser’s Jet Air and Air Hangers blast powerful gusts of air through your garments to thoroughly clean them inside and out. For an extra-thorough clean, you can also use the AirDresser’s Sanitize cycle with JetSteam. The technology has been certified by Intertek to remove 99.9% of bacteria from garments,² and JetSteam has also been given the Seal of Approval by the British Allergy Foundation (BAF) for being able to effectively reduce house dust mites, fungi, and bacteria-related allergens.³ Reduce any lingering germs with the AirDresser’s internal temperature of up to 70°C (around 160°F).

Remove Ingrained Dirt With Samsung Washers

For those deep-seated germs or mites in your clothing, Samsung’s washing machines have a range of options to keep any fabric fresh.

First, Samsung washers use steam to fight off any bacteria clinging to clothes. The Hygiene Steam cycle of Samsung washing machines has been awarded the BAF’s seal of approval for its effective reduction of house dust mites, cat and dog dander, grass pollen and fungi allergens.⁴ Intertek has certified this cycle to remove 99.9% of bacteria,⁵ and it has also been certified by SMEC and CHEARI in China to remove more than 99.99% of bacteria.⁶

For a washing machine to be at peak performance, keeping the tub fresh at all times is essential. The Eco Drum Clean+ cycle in Samsung washers has been certified by Intertek to remove more than 99.9% of biofilm (bacterial buildup) on Samsung washers’ tub-insert carriers. For models with a Self Clean+ function, ultra-intense jets of high-temperature water will remove 99% of bacteria⁷ that can accumulate inside the drum. This built-in feature of the washing machine also removes the need for users to buy cleaning agents for utmost practicality and convenience.

Keep Dishes Safely Sterilized With a Samsung Dishwasher

* 99.99% elimination certification limited to DW80M9***U* and DW80R9***U* models, sold in the U.S.

Dishes, cups and other utensils come into direct contact with your mouth, meaning that it is imperative to keep them clean and hygienic after every use. With a Samsung dishwasher, you can harness the sterilization power of water at a temperature of 70°C (around 160°F), the optimal temperature to kill any lingering bacteria or viruses, when washing your dishes – and all without any plastic deformation. Intense vertical jets blast fresh tap water for a more sanitary clean. The Sanitize option in certain models⁸ has been certified according to NSF Standard 184 by Intertek to eliminate 99.99% of lingering food bacteria to put your mind at ease.

Breathe Easier With Clean, Filtered Air

To take care of air quality inside the home, Samsung’s Cube Air Purifier is the perfect solution. Its True HEPA filter can collect 99.97% of 0.3㎛(micrometer)-sized⁹ nano-particulate matters, some of the trickiest particles to catch, before they have a chance to circulate in your home. Furthermore, the Cube Air Purifier can effectively remove pollen and other ultrafine particles that cause respiratory diseases or allergies and also helps remove numerous kinds of odors and harmful gases. The Cube has been independently certified as being asthma & allergy friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America and AHAM Verifide so you can be sure to breathe freely.

Samsung’s Wind-Free air conditioners also do their part in keeping the air hygienic in addition to keeping the temperature cool without unpleasant drafts or noise. The Wind-Free air conditioner is able to filter up to 99.9% of viruses and bacteria that pass through its Tri-Care Filter, as verified by Intertek.¹⁰

Catch Every Last Particle With the Samsung Jet

The Samsung Jet, Samsung’s premium cordless vacuum cleaner, features intense suction power of up to 200W¹¹ for deep cleaning. As well as removing dust, the Samsung Jet also catches miniscule particles such as pollen, mold and pet dander to help you keep your floors, surfaces and air free of unwanted particulates.

Another unique benefit of using the Samsung Jet is that the entire vacuuming process, from start to finish, can be undertaken without mess. The Samsung Jet features an ultrafine dust filter¹² that catches 99.999% of micro dust, meaning that dust will not escape back out into the air once trapped. The vacuum is also equipped with a Clean Station that keeps dust from being released back into the air during the device cleaning process.

All you need to do is place the vacuum’s dustbin on top of the Clean Station, where Air Pulse technology uses internal air pressure to empty the dustbin. Thanks to this innovative technology, the number of particles that conventionally escape back into the air during the emptying process is reduced by over 400 times.¹³
