																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 02 September 2021 – </strong>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12376" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Samsung-Jet%E2%84%A2-Global-Launch_main.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="751" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Samsung-Jet%E2%84%A2-Global-Launch_main.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Samsung-Jet%E2%84%A2-Global-Launch_main-750x563.jpg 750w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Samsung-Jet%E2%84%A2-Global-Launch_main-768x577.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Follow along as we explore how these dynamic devices allow you to annihilate allergens and keep your space spick and span.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Bust Dust with Ease With the Samsung Jet<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> and Clean Station<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></strong></p>
<p>The Samsung Jet<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> cordless stick vacuum cleaner adds new meaning to the phrase “powerful clean.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Capable of generating an industry-leading 200W of suction – more than enough power to remove dust and dander from shaggy carpets – the Samsung Jet<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Lightweight and versatile, the Samsung Jet<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Samsung Clean Station<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> is the perfect companion for the Samsung Jet<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, offering an innovative solution for emptying the vacuum’s dustbin. Roughly 400 times<sup>2</sup> more hygienic than conventional dustbins, the Clean Station<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> features an airtight design that automatically empties the vacuum’s canister and prevents fine dust from being released into the air.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Put a spin into spring with Samsung’s range of washing machine technology</strong></p>
<p>On the spring to-do list may also be laundry jobs such as washing curtains and bedding.  Samsung offers Digital Inverter top loaders and front loaders, including features like Hygiene Steam, Smart Control, Ecobubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> and Addwash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, which allows you to pop in a forgotten item in the middle of a wash. These innovations make all the difference including:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Smart Control – </strong>Make laundry even more effortless by using your Samsung washing machine’s built-in Wi-Fi with the Smart Control feature in the SmartThings app. This app allows you to control your Samsung washer/dryer remotely from your smart phone, and notifies you of the status of the washer/dryer and even whether it has a problem, and the actions you can take to solve it from your smart phone.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hygiene Steam &#8211; </strong>You can give your clothes a deep, hygienic clean with steam. A Hygiene Steam cycle improves the cleaning quality of your wash without pre-treatments. It releases steam from the bottom of the drum, so every item is thoroughly saturated. This removes ingrained grime and 99.9% of bacteria and allergens<sup>3</sup>.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With convenient and efficient technology at hand, you can always have a spring in your step.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></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>
