<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Dirt is good, when you&#8217;ve got the power and necessary tools to conquer it. This year, from 01 July to 10 August &#8211; Samsung is once again bringing the highly anticipated Wash Days campaign, powered by OMO &#8211; delivering superior cleaning quality through the perfect partnership of innovation and performance.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Samsung Wash Days Powered by OMO 2025 edition celebrates real life: messy moments, bold adventures and everyday challenges &#8211; because life doesn’t wait for clean clothes. But when you have the right tools, you can keep moving without missing a beat. With Samsung’s intelligent washing machines and OMO’s high-performance detergents, you have the perfect combo for unstoppable routines.            </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<h3><span><strong>The Power of Wash-ability</strong></span></h3>
<p><span>Whether it’s mud-splattered sports gear or everyday spills, OMO’s advanced cleaning formulas are made to handle real-life mess &#8211; and when paired with Samsung’s innovative washing tech, you’re looking at next-level laundry care. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<h3><span><strong>Samsung Revolutionising Laundry at Every Spin </strong></span></h3>
<p><span>Samsung’s AI washing machines bring together intuitive design and intelligent cleaning features:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span> </span><span><strong>AI Wash:</strong></span><span> Automatically detects fabric type, load size and dirt levels to optimise wash cycles &#8211; saving time, water, and detergent.</span></li>
<li><span> </span><span><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;" /> Technology:</strong></span><span> Mixes detergent, air and water to create deep-cleaning bubbles that lift dirt fast &#8211; even in cold washes.</span></li>
<li><span> </span><span><strong>Hygiene Steam:</strong></span><span> Harnesses steam power to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria and allergens &#8211; perfect for kids’ clothes, activewear or sensitive skin.</span></li>
<li><span> </span><span><strong>Auto Dispense:</strong></span><span> Delivers just the right dose of OMO liquid or powder detergent, reducing waste while protecting your fabrics and your machine.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>These innovations don’t just clean &#8211; they elevate your laundry experience. Choosing the most ideal detergent for your laundry can be a bit of a grey area. No one wants underwhelming wash results and matching your machine to the right detergent can also be as challenging as choosing the brand. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>OMO formula ensures a seamless optimal clean, every time. Liquid detergent is a smart choice for front loader machines and stain-heavy clothes, while powder is more suitable and power-packed for tough fabrics and top loaders. </span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eco-conscious and sustainable fashion designer and content creator, Sonia Tona, is no stranger to Samsung, after making her content debut for the brand during the Future Generation Lab’s (FGL) <em>Do The SmartThings</em> campaign.</p>
<p>The Africa FGL partnered with the young designer in an effort to raise awareness and deliver a message around Samsung’s <em>Everyday Sustainability</em> efforts in a new, exciting and engaging way.</p>
<p>The key message here was: Samsung’s Eco-conscious technology is built right into our products, and just by using them, consumers take small steps towards a better planet for all! And just like that, the #EverdaySustainability challenge was born. In a jam-packed 3-episode series, you’ll get acquainted with Samsung features like Eco-Bubble Technology and SmartThings Energy.</p>
<p>The challenge was simple: Can the uber-talented designer, design an affordable and sustainable solar powered bag for less than R1000?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Watch the episodes below to see how this all turned out!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, 09 October 2018</strong> – Remember when laundry day was a bad day? Today’s intelligent washing machines have transformed the traditional slog of gathering and seperating clothes and avoiding the dreaded ‘why is my favourite blue top this shade of shocking pink?’. But what about bigger items like duvets, pillows and curtains? With spring around the corner, it’s easy to accomplish the traditional annual clean up.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For some of us duvets, pillows and curtains tend to fit into the annual Spring cleaning event. You may just change your mind after reading this. Let’s start with pillows and duvets. Every night we shed millions of skin cells and on average, a litre of sweat. Combined with dust mites, it’s easy to see why a once a yearly wash is just not good enough. And then there are the curtains hanging around looking deceptively clean. Meanwhile their innocent demeanour masks the dust, pet hair, human hair and even mold spores. Feeling a bit uncomfortable? You should be. But fortunately it’s easier than you may think to clean these bigger items frequently.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Firstly, you need the right tools. Today’s washing machines are marvels of science. For example, Samsung’s 12kg capacity washing machines let you wash more laundry in a single load; which means a duvet or curtain is less of a challenge. Better still, features like Samsung’s Eco Bubble technology delivers powerful cleaning, even at low temperatures. Your trusty detergent is turned into bubbles, so it quickly penetrates and protects these bigger fabric items and removes dirt easily, while saving energy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tracy Gordon, Head of Digital Appliances for Samsung South Africa, says, “Innovative technology not only ensures that you can save energy while doing your daily laundry, but also that your fabric is treated more gently and cleaner than ever before.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>The best way to wash your duvets and pillows</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Firstly, aim to wash them every two to three months.</li>
<li>Check the label to ensure that they are not feather or down fillings, which often need to be dry cleaned.</li>
<li>Treat stains before popping the items into the washing machine.</li>
<li>Folding a duvet in half before putting it in the drum ensures that the weight is spread evenly during the wash.</li>
<li>Air drying is your best option afterwards as sun tends to kill micro-organisms. Mother nature definitely has you covered.</li>
<li>Ideally, washing two pillows together keeps your washing machine better balanced.</li>
<li>Synthetic pillows can be dried at the lowest heat setting.</li>
<li>Quick tip: Throw in a few tennis balls covered in socks to stop pillows from crumping.</li>
<li>For extra peace of mind you can also pop fluffy pillows into the dryer, once a week, to remove dead skin and moisture.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Curtains are just as easy</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Making curtains a part of your regular cleaning already helps. A light vacuum while you do your carpets goes a long way.</li>
<li>Before putting your curtains in your washing machine, ensure that all the pins, rings, sliders and curtain weights have been removed.</li>
<li>It also helps to shake them and use a vacuum cleaner to remove any coarse dirt and dust.</li>
<li>As always, check the label before turning to your trusted machine to ensure the fabric is machine friendly.</li>
<li>Opt for a delicate cycle to avoid damaging the fabric.</li>
<li>Your normal detergent should be all you need to get the curtains back to their very best.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There you have it. Cleaning those bulky items is not just easy. It will transform your home and may just give you a better night’s sleep.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa</strong><strong>, 21 May 2018 </strong>– Finding ways to save money is a crucial pursuit for many South Africans, who have to juggle numerous expenses in a tight economy. Keeping water and energy bills low is one way to ensure there is more disposable income to go around. That’s why <a href="http://www.samsung.com/za/washing-machines/washer/">Samsung’s AddWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Front-Loader</a> Washers make so much sense. Built with water and energy conservation in mind, they save energy, use less water and ultimately spare the pocket.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With conservation in mind, Samsung considered the frustrating scenario of getting a load up and running and then discovering a few items of clothing that didn’t make it into the machine. Instead of having to wash a second load, Samsung has eliminated this water and energy sapping process with its innovative AddWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> functionality, which lets you simply and quickly add forgotten clothes and items after a cycle has already started.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In order to further save on bills, Samsung’s AddWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Front-Loader Washers feature a Digital Inverter Motor, which delivers superior energy efficiency, minimal noise and long-lasting performance. The Digital Inverter Motor uses strong magnets for a quieter and more powerful performance while consuming less energy than a conventional Universal Motor.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Mike van Lier, Director of Consumer Electronics, Samsung South Africa, says</strong>, “Samsung’s E-Cotton programmes are the most efficient cycles when it comes to water and energy conservation. Consumers can do a full or half load at optimal performance with lower energy and water consumption for cotton fabrics, bed and table linen, underwear, towels or shirts.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Van Lier adds that, “To assist in keeping the bills down, Samsung’s Eco Bubble technology delivers powerful cleaning, even at low temperatures. Detergent is turned into bubbles, so it quickly penetrates fabric and removes dirt easily, while protecting the fabric and saving energy.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Doing laundry in your 12kg model, is also made easier with Samsung’s innovative smart features. Smart Control allows for remote control and monitoring of washing using a smartphone App. From anywhere inside or outside the house, users can instantly start or pause a load of washing and monitor cycle selections, check remaining time and receive finishing alerts, leaving more time for themselves as well as more money in the bank.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung’s AddWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Front-Loader Washers allow for up to 12kg of laundry to be washed in a single load and while reducing water usage is key, Samsung has also placed a major focus on energy efficiency. This means that washing in a<a href="http://www.samsung.com/za/washing-machines/washer/"> Samsung 9kg or 12kg AddWash</a><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> model – dependent on the load – can be completed in just 59 minutes, saving you time and electricity, as well as one of life’s most valuable resources, water,” concludes Van Lier.</p>
