ACHIEVE LAUNDRY EFFICIENCY WITH LG SOLUTIONS

 

SINGAPORE,
August 21, 2017 — The rainy season poses a challenge
when it comes to naturally drying wet clothes quickly and thoroughly. Due to
increased humidity levels, clothes are left damp for a longer time, and may
eventually develop an unpleasant musty smell. To prevent damp clothes from
smelling bad, LG offers two solutions to tackle the wet weather woes – the LG Styler
and Washing Machine with TurboWashTM function. These solutions not
only help in getting the laundry done quickly, they are also water and energy
efficient, thus users can reap long term savings.

The LG Styler combines the core technologies
of three major home appliances – the steam technology of washing machines, the
temperature control technology found in refrigerators and advanced air flow
control technology – to provide a revolutionary new clothing care solution. By
using steam to thoroughly clean garments, the fabric-friendly LG Styler helps to
minimize wear and tear through the simple motion of shaking on a moving hanger
compared to tumbling in the washer and dryer.

LG’s innovative TrueSteam™ technology gently
sanitizes clothes as well as reduces wrinkles and unpleasant odors with ease,
leaving clothes smelling and feeling fresh. With just the single touch of a
button, hot steam is sprayed directly on the clothes, eliminating over 99.9% of
the germs and bacteria. Its Moving Hanger is another convenient feature, gently
shaking clothes to further reduce wrinkles during the steam bath. Furthermore,
the highly efficient Inverter Compressor allows the Styler to operate
efficiently as it enhances the green credentials by reducing energy consumption
and greenhouse gas emissions.

Using the Styler’s Refresh
Mode (a 20-minute standard normal cycle) only costs slightly less than $3 per
month[1],
based on one cycle per day for 30 days. This is a more cost-efficient solution compared
with coin-operated washing machines and tumble dryers at laundromats, which can
cost between S$5 to S$13 a cycle[2].
Dry cleaners also charge additional fees for ironing, home delivery and
same-day collection.

The LG Styler was also awarded the “Carbon Footprint” label by Carbon
Trust, a British non-profit organization established by the government to fight
climate change. This label calculates the total amount of greenhouse gas
emissions created throughout the product life cycle of the production,
accounting for distribution, usage, and waste.

TÜV Rheinland from Germany also approved of the Styler, granting it the
prestigious ‘Green Mark’ label. This designation is given to eco-friendly
products that have passed the institution’s strict standards for energy
consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and presence of toxic substances.

With the LG Styler, reduced trips to the dry
cleaners will result in greater convenience and cost savings.

LG’s front load washing machines such as the F2721HTWV,
F2718RVTV, F1410SPRE and F1409NPRW are awarded four ticks in water efficiency
by the Public Utilities Board (PUB). The solution is equipped with sensors,
which detect the load capacity and calculate the exact RPM and braking time
needed for each cycle. As such, the accuracy ensures optimum performance,
saving users up to 31% in water consumption and 12.4% of energy consumption3.

One of the salient features included in these
washers is the TurboWash™, which sprays water directly onto fabrics for
approximately 120 seconds, making the already impressive rinse cycles even more
efficient than ever before. Furthermore, it cuts a regular wash program to only
59 minutes, allowing users to reduce their utility bills.

A shorter cycle does not mean there is a
compromise in cleaning performance. The washer’s three-in-one True Steam™
technology ensures the clothes emerge hygienic after a wash. The Allergy Care
removes allergens from clothes by optimal temperature control. Steam Refresh
freshens up clothes in just 20 minutes – reduce wrinkles and odors without the
need for any ironing. The Steam Softener™ uses pure True Steam™ water, the most
hygienic softener ever, so that the fabric is ideal for use even by babies and
those with sensitive skin.
