5 tips to keep your laundry smelling fresh and clean during rainy days 

The rainy season may be a sweet relief from the hot and humid Philippine weather, but with it comes laundry troubles because there’s hardly any sun for clothes to dry. With the possibility of the kulob smell becoming all-too-familiar during this time of year, Midea, the world’s largest producer of major appliances, shares practical tips to prevent this and keep your laundry smelling fresh and clean even during the rainy days:

Make use of spin dryers. Because drying your clothes in the sun is not always an option during rainy season, using the washing machine’s spin dryer is your best bet as it makes wringing your clothes—to dry quickly—easier. If you’re looking for a durable washing machine that can withstand heavy laundry load, Midea’s new line of Twin Tub Washing Machine is a great option. With key features of dual force pulsator and durable body, Midea’s new washing machine line offers four variants so there’s a model to suit your wash load needs: 7kg Twin Tub (P8,295), 9kg Twin Tub (P9,995) and 11kg Twin Tub (P11,595), and 13kg Twin Tubs (P14,995). Additionally, with only P1 per wash, Midea’s Twin Tub Washing Machine consumes less electricity, which leads to greater cost savings.

Leave space for clothes while drying. When you’re done washing, don’t place your damp clothes too close or over one another as it will only delay drying time and result in an unpleasant damp smell. Be sure to leave enough space between clothes to dry evenly and naturally.

Hang in a well-ventilated room. When you have no choice but to dry your clothes indoors, use the spin dryer a couple of times and hang them in a portable drying rack. To help them dry even more quickly, make sure you can hang them in a well-ventilated room.

Use fabric conditioners. Fabric conditioners help avoid the damp odor smell on clothes. However, this does not compensate for deeply washed clothes. Before using your preferred fabric conditioner, make sure to pre-soak your clothes with detergent or vinegar and baking soda for at least 30 minutes to remove stains and smell on clothes.

Iron your laundry. If you find that you still have some damp clothes left, another option you can do is to iron your clothes dry. You can even use scented wrinkle release sprays to further ensure that your clothes smell clean and fresh.

No need to worry about kulob-smelling clothes during this rainy season. With these tips and a little help from Midea, you can have fresh-smelling and clean clothes all-year long.

4 things to keep in mind when online shopping for appliances

Shopping for appliances online can be very exciting, with so many choices and brands that you can buy with just a swipe of your finger. But before you start adding to your cart, do your research and familiarize yourself with the features that are now available, as well as the after-sales benefits you might need.

 

Shopping online is not the same as shopping in an appliance store where a salesperson is on hand to demonstrate how to operate the product or answer your questions. So, to guide you in shopping for appliances online, Midea, the world’s largest manufacturer of home appliances offers some tips to make sure you get the best value for your money.

 

Buy only from legit stores. Shopping online is very convenient, but sometimes it can be challenging to know if the website you’re visiting is legitimate. The best way to ensure you’re buying from a reliable source is to purchase items from the flagship stores on e-commerce sites. Check out the Midea Philippinesofficial stores in Shopee and Lazada that are guaranteed to be 100% authentic. Make sure to look for the blue badge or blue check beside their store name that you can verify on both apps. You can also check out mideaph.com for the complete lineup of appliances and seasonal deals and promos.

 

Check the product’s electrical frequency. This is an important consideration not many know about. When ordering appliances online, especially if it’s imported, occasionally, you will find appliances that run at 100-127 volts at 50 Hz that tends to run slower compared to local appliances which operate at 220-240 volts at 60 Hz. You might think that this is okay just because the appliance operates when you turned it on, but what you don’t know is that running an appliance using a voltage or frequency that's not designed for it can be dangerous. There is the risk of burning, fire, or even explosion. So always check the product specifications before you purchase or chat with a customer service officer if you are not sure.

 

After-sales service and warranty. Authorized physical and online stores generally offer standard product warranty on parts, often with conditions. Always check what is covered under the warranty if your appliance is damaged, as well as the warranty period. It’s also useful to check the location of service centers so you know how far you need to travel in case the appliance malfunctions. Again, reach out to a customer service officer and don’t hesitate to ask these important questions to make sure you get the best after-sales service – email their customer support at customercare@midea.com.ph or call their Toll-Free Number 1-880-10-863-5522, Landline (02) 8863 55 22, or contact them through Viber/SMS (0917) 863 5522.

 

Collect discounts or free shipping vouchers. Who doesn’t love promos and discounts, right? Especially if you’re on a tight budget, discounts and vouchers will save your day! In case you’re not aware, flagship stores give out discounts or free shipping vouchers from time to time. Using these discount vouchers, you can buy more while spending less, and on top of that, you may get your items without having to pay the shipping fee!

 

Online shopping is just a breeze if you know just what stores you can rely on to get the best deals possible for you and your family. Spot flagship stores on Shopee and Lazada by looking for the “Shopee Mall” and “LazMall” badges or by filtering your search category to “mall” products only.

Easy Ways to Keep Your Home Clean, Healthy, and Pollution-Fre

Easy Ways to Keep Your Home Clean, Healthy, and Pollution-Free

Many believe that most pollutants can be found outside when unclean air and dust can easily enter the home. One example is through open windows and doors. Besides that, viruses and bacteria can latch onto almost anything and be brought anywhere and everywhere. 

 

To keep the house clean and hygienic, here are a few ways that one can do to keep the living space clean and pollution-free:

 

1. Minimize bringing in pollution into your home

Sometimes, there are moments when key members of the house have to take essential trips outside or run personal errands. Hence, there are many instances when fine particles of dust, bacteria, and germs stick onto the clothes’ fibers. So it’s crucial to make it a habit to wash both hands and change out of clothes before plopping onto the couch or bed to relax.

 

For those with plenty of clothes that require regular steaming, ironing, or dry cleaning, having a clothing care appliance like the Samsung AirDresser is a worthwhile investment. With its Jet Air system and Air Hangers, powerful jets of air can remove dust off clothes inside and out. At the same time, the JetSteam feature infuses high-temperature steam deep into the fabric of clothes, removing up to 99% of certain viruses and bacteria, house mites, allergens, odor-causing gases, and other harmful substances.

 

2. Keep the floor squeaky clean

Dust, pet dander, and other allergens can accumulate quickly on the floor. Thus,  daily vacuuming should be the first line of defense in preventing dust build-ups. It usually requires heavier and more comprehensive vacuuming for rooms with carpets at least twice a week. The carpet’s fibers can trap dust, dirt, allergens, and absorb grime and spills, giving way to bacteria. 

 

To make vacuuming less of a headache, it is ideal to invest in a cordless vacuum to let go of the need to search for an available socket in every room. The Samsung Jet Cyclone Stick Vacuum is a cordless stick vacuum cleaner that makes cleaning almost an effortless task. Thanks to its Digital Inverter Motor that consistently maintains a high level of energy efficiency while sustaining an industry-leading suction power of up to 150W. Besides, Samsung’s five-layer filtration system can capture up to 99.999% of micro dust particles, including 0.3~10μm sized particles and allergens, to help keep the house spotless and the health of homeowners in check.

 

Another good thing about the Samsung Jet Cyclone Stick Vacuum is that there’s no need to worry about having to forcefully drag the vacuum along by its wheels to reach every nook and corner of the house. With its handheld model that only weighs 1.45kg, there would be a lesser strain on the wrist, and this bothersome household chore can now be turned into a more convenient and efficient activity. Days at home can be made better with floors that are dust and dirt free all day.

 

3. Maintain good air quality at home

With most people spending more time at home these days, maintaining good indoor air quality has never been more important. It’s a good thing that there’s a foolproof and quick way to clean and keep the air hygienic, and that is to consider buying an air purifier.

 

Samsung Air Purifiers can capture up to 99.97% of ultrafine dust and even bacteria to help combat seasonal allergies and make old air new again. The air purifiers have three distinct filters that house a multi-layered purification system designed to capture airborne particles, harmful gases, and inhibit the spread of captured bacteria. Even when outside, air quality can be remotely controlled with Samsung’s SmartThings app making fresh indoor air available anytime.

 

With health and hygiene taking a higher priority during this period, it pays to put more attention to ensuring that the house is kept clean as much as possible. Practice taking proactive steps to reduce the risk of transmission and contamination by steaming the clothes more often, vacuuming almost all the surfaces at home, and keeping the air inside purified, for a healthier environment for the whole family, especially during the holidays.
