JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 16 June, 2020 – Whether or not you’re a fan of cold winds, misty midday chills and rainy evenings, the fact of the matter is that the warm and welcoming weather of the last few months has bid us goodbye. This is also a time when we use our washing machines far more than usual, from those oversized jackets to multiple layers of clothing. And with the flu season in full swing, there is also a greater need to keep our clothing hygienic to stop germs from spreading. Fortunately, these are considerations already factored into the design of Samsung appliances. And now, many will also be pleased to hear that Samsung Wash Days are back. The longstanding, successful partnership between Samsung laundry appliances and OMO auto liquid has been designed to provide a highly efficient, stress-free laundry experience. Samsung has once again partnered with Unilever to bring South Africans the Samsung Wash Days campaign, powered by OMO. Customers purchasing a Samsung AddWash, Ecobubble or Activ DualWash Washing machines will qualify for an OMO Wash Days for up to 180 Free Washes from participating stores.

“The combination of innovative technology in Samsung’s washing machines and OMO’s trusted performance is a perfect match for any laundry day. With this campaign, we’re also building on our mission to give customers peace of mind that with Samsung appliances, keeping everyday items cleaner is a breeze, “said Cambridge Mokanyane, Chief Marketing Officer at Samsung South Africa.

With the Wash Days campaign, Samsung is partnering with a brand also committed to enhanced hygiene and cleaning performance. The washing machines applicable to the Samsung Wash Days campaign are:

To celebrate the return of Samsung Wash Days with OMO, here are a few simple washing tips:

Washing your laundry at a low 30°C takes less of a toll on your clothes and allows your household to be more environmentally friendly. With Winter temperatures on our mind here are a few ways temperature makes a difference:

The temperature on the care label refers to the highest temperature the item can be washed at without being damaged, but you can wash it at a lower temperature to save electricity.
Grass, food or grease stain? Instead of wasting energy washing a stubbornly stained garment twice, wash the item at the highest temperature indicated on the care label, along with other items that can handle this heat.
Always wash dark clothes separately, even when washing at a low temperature.
Always do a full load of laundry to be as energy-efficient as possible. Group garments together that can be washed using the same cycle. Don’t overload the machine either, as this may lead to the clothes not being washed properly.
Use the highest spin the items can handle if your machine has a separate spin selector. This will mean less drying time needed.
Unpleasant smells are caused by bacteria growing on fabrics that have been lying in a bundle while wet for an extended period of time.
BONUS WINTER TIP: If one family member has a cold, wash their items separately at the highest temperature on the care label using OMO. This will help kill germs and prevent the infection from spreading.

Times you’ll need activ dualwash to make laundry easy!

Rainbow sprinkles on a cupcake. Ride-sharing apps. Binge-able, full-season uploads of streaming TV shows. These are the things we didn’t know we needed until we had them in our lives.

If your tea’s ever staged a daring escape from its cup, your dog has ever developed a near-romantic affinity for mud, or your kid has ever even remotely acted like a kid,activ dualwash is just about to take its place on the “why wasn’t this a thing before?” pantheon.

1. When Coffee Becomes Self-Aware

We trust you. We’ve seen it happen. Your coffee mug is gingerly at rest when suddenly, of its own volition, that magical brew leaps forth from its cup to wage war with your spanking-new white tee.

Your activ dualwash washing machine sink believes you, too. And it’s there for you when you need to water-jet that coffee demon out and pronto.

2. When You Must Banish the One Ring

You’re (at least 99 percent) positive that you shower daily. You clean up nicely, really. And yet, the collar ring still manages to show up like an inevitable laundry poltergeist. This poltergeist, as the most well-versed mom can tell you, needs pretreatment before it hits the wash, which is when you need an activ dualwash washing machine basin that won’t overflow.

Now your collar-stained shirt (or about five of them) can soak away in its little shirt jacuzzi until you’re good and ready to tilt the basin right into the washer’s tub—think of it as a super-clean water slide for your dirty clothes.

3. When You’ve Gone Raw

Raw denim ages in a way that makes leather jealous. It’s like fine wine that just happens to make your butt look really good. If you absolutely, positively must wash your untreated jeans, the best way is a soak in cold water with a dab of soap. And because your washer has an activ dualwash functionality, you do not need to do this in your kitchen sink.

4. When Your Dog Is a Dog-nado

It’s impossible to hate your dog and his puppy eyes and his fuzzy ears. But it is very possible to hate the mud and twigs and whatever else he trails in from the most recent Mudpocalypse.

As you curse the dog gods, you might notice that your activ dualwash washing machine sink does make the built-in fixture look like a wicked-cool seashell. The texture also helps you rub out tough stains, sort of like a washboard from the future.

5. When You Think You’re Doomed

Good news: You are not doomed. If you haven’t gotten on the presoak train, it’s easy to think that a grass stain, mustard blot, or wine spill is enough to permanently turn your dress into a wearable Rorschach test. Allow activwash to enlighten you: Sometimes, a healthy soak is your favourite v-neck’s saviour.

Never handwashed your clothes before? The built-in sink is basically a built-in handwash cycle for every piece of clothing you own. That’s some next-level laundry right there.
