																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While summer brings sunshine, outdoor fun, and carefree moments, it can also bring tougher laundry challenges. From sweat-soaked T-shirts to grass-stained or sand-filled shorts, they all demand extra attention. With heavier loads and stubborn stains, households need a washing machine that can keep pace with the season. Samsung’s innovative washing technologies are designed to take the stress out of summer laundry, making cleaning smarter, faster, and more efficient.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Smarter Washing with AI Wash</strong></h3>
<p>Summer laundry isn’t always predictable. One day it’s light fabrics from a normal no-activity week in the family, and the next it’s towels from a picnic, mud-stained sports gear, or heavy sheets and curtains for spring cleaning. Samsung’s AI Wash uses advanced sensors to detect the weight and soil level of each load, then automatically optimises the amount of water and detergent. This ensures deep cleaning for tough summer messes, while avoiding waste.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Clean and Save Big with EcoBubble</strong></h3>
<p>With the hot weather, you may not need to use hot water. And thanks to EcoBubble technology, detergent is activated with bubbles that penetrate fabrics quickly, delivering powerful cleaning even in cold water. That means energy savings<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> during the peak summer months, without compromising on freshness.</p>
<h3></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-19694 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WF8000R_WF25B9600KE_01_key-visual_pc-e1721210875734.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="444" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Bubble Soak for Stubborn Stains</strong></h3>
<p>From melted ice cream spills to ketchup or soil stains, summer fun often leaves its mark. The Bubble Soak function soaks clothes in active bubbles for 20 minutes before the wash cycle, loosening dirt and stains so they’re easier to remove. Even the most stubborn reminders of summer can be lifted with ease.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Laundry Freedom with SmartThings</strong></h3>
<p>Summer is for making memories, not waiting by the washing machine. With SmartThings<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> integration, you can schedule and monitor your laundry cycles remotely from your smartphone. Start a wash while you’re out enjoying the sunshine, and come home to freshly cleaned clothes, hassle-free.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Auto Dispenser: Detergent Made Simple </strong></h3>
<p>Between summer trips and busy family schedules, remembering detergent levels can feel like one chore too many. Samsung’s Auto Dispenser stores enough detergent for up to a month (based on four loads per week) and dispenses the right amount automatically. No more guesswork, no more waste, just consistent cleaning every time. Samsung’s smart washing machines are designed with modern lifestyles in mind. By combining powerful stain-fighting features with intelligent, time-saving technology, they help families enjoy more of what summer has to offer, and worry less about laundry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span><sup style="font-size: small;">[1]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> Tested on WW11BB944AGBS2 by Samsung Internal Lab. Cotton cycle, 5kg weight at 40 degrees Celsius. Results may vary depending on clothes and environment</span></p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"><span><sup style="font-size: small;">[2]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> Available on Android and iOS devices. A Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account are required.</span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung South Africa and OMO, through their <em>OMO Wash Days</em> campaign, are shining a spotlight on a surprisingly common issue in households: the incorrect use of laundry detergent. As part of the campaign, the duo wants to enlighten consumers on how everyday washing habits could be damaging their clothes, appliances, and the environment, and how intelligent technology is changing the game.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-19650 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/KV-2-e1721048697370.png" alt="" width="1000" height="538" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>The Hidden Cost of Doing Laundry Wrong</strong></h3>
<p>Many consumers don’t realise that using too much detergent, or the wrong type, can do more harm than good. Overdosing leads to excess soap build-up, mechanical strain, and inefficient rinsing, which can damage fabrics, irritate skin, and even shorten the lifespan of a washing machine. Under-dosing, on the other hand, compromises cleanliness, leaving behind dirt and grime.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What makes it worse? These issues are often amplified when detergent misuse is paired with the wrong washing cycle or water conditions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>The Science of a Perfect Wash</strong></h3>
<p>Effective cleaning is more than just soap and water. Detergent performance is influenced by fabric type, soil level, water hardness, and the washing cycle selected. Most consumers can’t manually calculate all of these variables, and that’s where Samsung steps in.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>The Samsung Edge: </strong><strong>Smarter Technology for Smarter Washing</strong></h3>
<p>Samsung’s latest range of intelligent washing machines features ground-breaking innovations like <strong>EcoBubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, AI Wash</strong>, and <strong>Auto Dispense</strong> &#8211; technologies designed to take the guesswork out of laundry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI Wash</strong> uses sensors to detect load size, fabric type, soil level, and detergent concentration in real-time.</li>
<li>It then automatically adjusts the water level, cycle time, and rinse intensity for optimal cleaning and rinsing*.</li>
<li><strong>Auto Dispense**</strong> delivers the precise amount of detergent needed, reducing waste and preventing overuse.</li>
<li><strong>EcoBubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></strong> activates detergent with air and water before the cycle begins, creating bubbles that penetrate fabric more effectively.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-19694 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WF8000R_WF25B9600KE_01_key-visual_pc-e1721210875734.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="444" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Together, these features not only improve washing results but also promote <strong>energy efficiency, water conservation</strong><strong>, </strong>and<strong> appliance longevity, which are all</strong> key considerations for modern, eco-conscious households.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With rising utility costs and growing awareness around sustainability, the OMO Wash Days campaign couldn’t come at a better time. Samsung is empowering people with the science behind smart laundry, helping them make optimum choices that benefit their homes, their wallets, and the planet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By combining Samsung’s smart appliance technology with OMO’s detergent expertise, the campaign bridges the knowledge gap that often leads to poor laundry outcomes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>* Expected number of loads. Detergent compartment can hold general detergent for up to 25 loads. Flex compartment can hold one of the following softener for up to 34 loads, general detergent for up to 22 loads or speciality detergent for up to 29 loads.</p>
<p>**Results may vary depending on actual usage conditions</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Laundry has always been about detergent and water. But what if the secret to cleaner clothes wasn’t just about what you use &#8211; but how you use it?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the OMO Wash Days campaign, Samsung South Africa is shining a spotlight on the hidden power of its intelligent washing machines, showing how features like EcoBubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, AI Wash, and Auto Dispense are transforming the humble laundry cycle into a smarter, more sustainable routine.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Rethinking Detergent Performance</strong></h3>
<p>Too often, detergent is not optimally used &#8211; leading to ineffective cleaning, and sometimes, clothing fabric damage. Samsung’s technology reimagines how detergent works by maximising its potential through engineering precision and smart automation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>EcoBubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />: Cool Water Cleaning That Works</strong></h3>
<p>Samsung’s EcoBubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology pre-mixes detergent with air and water to create a soapy foam before the wash even begins. These bubbles penetrate fabrics faster and more evenly, activating the cleaning agents at lower temperatures.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why It Matters:</p>
<ul>
<li>Enables effective soil <a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> removal in cool water, thus reducing energy usage</li>
<li>Prevents shrinkage <a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> and colour fading in delicate items.</li>
<li>Ensures detergent is fully activated and absorbed <a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>AI Wash <a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a>: Intelligent Cycles That Think for You</strong></h3>
<p>AI Wash uses four smart sensors to detect load weight, fabric type, soil levels, and water clarity, then automatically adjusts water, detergent, and cycle duration in real-time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>User Benefits:</p>
<ul>
<li>Convenience and intelligent cycles that think for you</li>
<li>Washes tailored to the exact condition of each load</li>
<li>Takes care of your clothes and washes them thoroughly and gently</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is laundry care that adapts to your lifestyle &#8211; and to every sock, shirt, or school uniform you throw in the drum.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Auto Dispense <a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a>: Fill Once, Many Washes</strong></h3>
<p>Measuring cups are a thing of the past. Samsung’s Auto Dispense feature holds detergent and softener in dedicated compartments, then automatically dispenses the perfect amount for each load.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why It Works:</p>
<ul>
<li>Helps to eliminate detergent waste</li>
<li>Reduces the chance of detergent residue on clothing</li>
<li>Can run for multiple loads without needing a refill &#8211; ideal for busy homes</li>
</ul>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>SmartThings AI Energy mode</strong></h3>
<p>You can monitor and reduce your energy usage with AI Energy mode, which lets you easily check the power consumption and estimates your electricity bill. For certain cycles, it reduces energy use by over 19% <a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> with the same performance, by reducing the use of a heater and increasing the cycle time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Flex Auto Dispense System</strong></h3>
<p>Get great washing results with less effort, thanks to the Flex Auto Dispense System. It automatically dispenses the optimal amount of detergent and softener for each load, based on the cycle and load size. The system is compatible with a variety of detergents and softeners and can store enough for up to 25 loads &#8211; or up to 47 loads when using detergent only in the Flex Dispense <a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><sup>[7]</sup></span></a> compartment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The OMO Wash Days campaign aligns with Samsung’s broader commitment to sustainability, efficiency, and intelligent living. Together with trusted, low-suds eco-detergents like OMO, Samsung’s washing machines make detergent work smarter, reduce waste, and simplify daily life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re a parent, a professional, or you don’t want to continue wasting water and detergent, Samsung’s smart laundry innovations ensure that every drop of detergent delivers maximum impact &#8211; with less effort, less waste, and better results.</p>
