Smarter Washing with AI Wash

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.

Clean and Save Big with EcoBubble

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^[1] during the peak summer months, without compromising on freshness.

Bubble Soak for Stubborn Stains

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.

Laundry Freedom with SmartThings

Summer is for making memories, not waiting by the washing machine. With SmartThings^[2] 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.

Auto Dispenser: Detergent Made Simple

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.

Easy to monitor and maintain, the Less Microfiber Filter cuts 98% of microplastic emissions from laundry cycles and makes tackling ocean-bound plastics a natural part of daily life.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced the launch of the new Less Microfiber Filter, an external washing machine filter designed to significantly reduce plastic microfiber emissions during laundry cycles. Designed with inspiration from apparel maker Patagonia and expertise from the global ocean conservation organisation Ocean Wise, the filter builds on the success of last year’s Less Microfiber Cycle to substantially cut microplastics and enable sustainable laundry washing that is both effective and effortless. The new filter is now available in Korea and the U.K., and will roll out to other countries in the third quarter.

“With microplastics emissions to our oceans continuing to increase and regulations being strengthened in many countries, as well as microplastics becoming a growing health concern for people everywhere, Samsung worked with Ocean Wise and Patagonia to engineer technology to prevent the release of microplastics from our daily life,” said Moohyung Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of R&D Team of Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “With innovations like the Less Microfiber Filter and Cycle, Samsung is enabling Everyday Sustainability in a wider array of products and making eco-conscious daily practices second nature in the home.”

From the Less Microfiber Cycle to the Less Microfiber Filter: Stopping Microplastics Before They Enter the Ocean

To enable customers to cut microplastic emissions from their laundry, Samsung first developed the Less Microfiber Cycle, a wash course that reduces microplastic shedding by 54%[1] in part by leveraging Samsung’s proprietary Ecobubble technology. By using bubbles to help dissolve and absorb detergent, less heat and energy is required to wash clothes, resulting in reduced abrasion which in turn prevents microplastic emissions.

The Less Microfiber Filter takes this a step further, preventing up to 98%[2] of microplastics released during laundry from escaping into the ocean, equivalent to eight 500ml plastic bottles per year[3] when used four times a week. In addition, to help more customers get involved in cutting microplastic emissions, the Less Microfiber Filter has a mountable design style that allows it to be used with standard washing machine models, demonstrating the company’s dedication to long-term sustainability and helping customers embrace sustainability at home. To verify the technology’s efficacy and its sustainability features, both Cycle and the Filter were independently evaluated by Ocean Wise using a peer-reviewed microfiber shedding test protocol at the marine organisation’s state-of-the-art lab in Vancouver, Canada.

Sustainable Convenience Every Day and at Every Stage of the Product Lifecycle

Samsung is committed to developing new products and technologies for a sustainable future. As we strive to enable Everyday Sustainability, not only should these products be highly effective, they should also be simple, accessible and convenient to use while considering eco-conscious practices in each aspect of product development.

With this in mind, the Less Microfiber Filter is made using recycled plastics – to help incorporate sustainability at every stage of its lifecycle – and was designed to be long-lasting and easy to maintain. The filter’s blades capture the microplastics with a 65-70 micrometre wide mesh, then redirect and compress these microplastics to one side, meaning the filter only needs to be cleaned roughly once a month.

By connecting with Samsung’s intelligent connectivity platform SmartThings, the filter tracks how full it is from 0 to100%, alerting users when cleaning or other troubleshooting is required via the SmartThings app. The Less Microfiber Cycle, meanwhile, is available as a preset option on select Samsung washing machines from 2022 and can be activated with just the press of a button. It will be expanded to users of previous Wi-Fi enabled Samsung washing machine models through an over the network update this year.

Innovation for a Brighter Future

The development and launch of the Less Microfiber Cycle and Filter are just the latest steps in Samsung’s sustainability journey.

“We’ve been investing in microfiber research for many years, learning how to reduce the fibers that shed from our garments and contribute to the various sources of pollution in the ocean,” said Matt Dwyer, VP of product impact and innovation at Patagonia. “We applaud Samsung for joining us in taking this major step forward in the fight against microfiber pollution.”

Beyond the launch of the Less Microfiber Cycle and Filter, Samsung will continue developing new technologies and products that make Everyday Sustainability an effortless part of daily life for customers everywhere and continue to work with partners to deliver tomorrow’s eco-conscious household solutions.

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.

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.

“QuickDrive is the industry’s game changer, dramatically cutting the amount of time it takes for users to do laundry and giving them more time to enjoy life,” said Mike van Lier, Director Consumer Electronics at Samsung South Africa.

Samsung’s QuickDrive technology cuts washing time by 50% and energy use by 20%, without compromising the cleaning performance. Its unique Q-Drum consists of a large main drum and a plate in the back that rotates independently. Unlike conventional washers that move clothes repeatedly up and down over the course of the cycle, the WW8800M moves clothes from top to bottom in the drum, and the plate in the back of the drum introduces a back and forth movement. It creates a revolutionary dynamic action powered by double forces that quickly, gently and thoroughly remove dirt to deliver an intense and complete wash cycle.

In addition, Samsung’s unrivalled QuickDrive technology was independently tested by Intertek, the world’s largest testing and inspection organisation. Intertek confirmed that QuickDrive technology provides the same level of cleaning performance and fabric care as existing products, while reducing washing times.

The new WW8800M also has many of Samsung’s outstanding laundry technologies, like EcoBubble, which provides powerful washing performance by mixing air and water to generate fine detergent bubbles that penetrate fabrics faster and maximise the detergent’s effects even at low temperatures.

Throughout the washing cycle, QuickDrive offers a range of smart and convenient features. The Internet of Things (IoT) ready WW8800M boasts an AI-powered laundry assistant called Q-rator, which provides three key smart features that help manage laundry more conveniently. Laundry Planner enables consumers to manage a laundry finishing time, freeing consumers to control their schedule on their own terms. Laundry Recipe gives automatic recommendations for optimal wash cycles based on the information such as colour, fabric type, and degree of soiling inputted by the user, eliminating the need for guessing about which cycle is best. HomeCare Wizard monitors the washer by remote, proactively alerting users about potential problems and providing quick troubleshooting support.

The WW8800M also comes with Samsung’s innovative AddWash, a feature that gives users the ability to add items at any time during the cycle. From a forgotten sock to a delicate item that needs to go in later in the cycle, AddWash even allows users to add detergent or fabric softener at a later time. The combination of the Q-rator and AddWash creates a synergistic effect that further enhances the user convenience, simplifying the laundry process.

Finally, the WW8800M is designed for long-lasting performance. Equipped with Samsung’s Digital Inverter Technology, the WW8800M reduces noise and helps reduce energy consumption while providing exceptional durability, enabling the washer to maintain its outstanding washing performance and fabric care. Additionally, the WW8800M offers various energy-saving features, including the ability to save up to 50% more on energy than the highest A+++ energy-efficiency standard for a wash cycle. It also uses a Ceramic Heater with a new type of anti-adhesion coating, which ensures up to 55% less scale build-up than conventional ceramic heaters, helping the heater maintain its performance longer with more durability.

“The new WW8800M washing machine uses QuickDrive technology to provide fast and powerful washing performance, with a range of technologies and smart functionality that make doing laundry so much easier,” concludes Van Lier.
