DuostixTM Hygiene Spray does them all

DuostixTM Hygiene Spray does them all

Bidet sprays are becoming a common sight in bathrooms, and they are typically used in more ways than one. Most trigger sprays in the market come with only one spray pressure, which does not serve the dual functionality required by consumers as a bidet and as a bathroom cleaning tool. The spray pressure on these trigger sprays ends up being either too harsh for intimate cleansing or too weak for effective bathroom cleaning.

To address these different needs in one purposeful product, American Standard has innovatively combined both functions into one sleek hygienic spray with two different spray pressures for both personal and bathroom hygiene. This creative conception has since earned the DuoSTiX Hygiene Spray the Red Dot Design Award 2022.

Whether you are using it as a bidet spray for a gentle cleanse on the skin, or as a robust bathroom jet spray for a thorough bathroom wash, the DuoSTiX Hygiene Spray with its revolutionary dual pressure features performs both jobs effectively, for everyone in the family.

Gentle on the Skin, Tough on Stains

Personal cleansing is all about gentle comfort, particularly for intimate areas. With Petal Pressure, the specially designed nozzles are optimized to deliver a gentle, yet robust personal cleansing experience.

However, a stronger jet spray is required to eliminate stubborn bathroom dirt and stains. The purposeful design of the DuoSTiX Hygiene Spray delivers both functions. With the cap on, the DuoSTiX Hygiene Spray turns the water pressure into a gentle yet robust spray for a comfortable personal cleanse. And with a simple twist, the cap can be removed for a powerful Jet Spray to get at dirty bathroom corners.

Human-Centered Design for Ergonomic Use

Featuring a removable cap that can be fitted in either direction on the DuoSTiX Hygiene Spray, users can easily and ergonomically operate the spray button with either the thumb or index finger. This thoughtful FlexiFit design takes into consideration individual user preferences during personal cleansing and enhances ergonomic comfort for both feminine and posterior cleansing. Furthermore, the integrated design of the DuoSTiX Hygiene Spray ensures minimal gaps to prevent dirt buildup and its EasyClean feature means the cap can be easily removed for targeted cleaning – all in the name of better hygiene.

FlexiMatch Finishes for Any Bathroom Style

The DuoSTiX Hygiene Spray comes in a chrome body and is available in either a glossy white or a matte black cap. This chrome version offers a premium look that will fit harmoniously into any bathroom style, and the glossy body surface effectively repels dirt and stains.

If you are looking for enhanced hygiene protection, the DuoSTiX Hygiene Spray also comes in a full glossy white version with HygienePlus that offers total anti-microbial protection and a touch of contemporary charm to your bathroom.

Whatever your choice is, the DuoSTiX Hygiene Spray makes for a gentle cleanse and a thorough clean in one handy hygienic spray.

Midea U: Designed Just For “U”

Midea U: Designed Just For “U”

Midea (pronounced mai-dee-ya), the world-renowned provider of intelligent home solutions, changed and revolutionized the existing paradigm in conventional window-type air conditioners with the introduction of the world’s first U-Shaped Inverter Window Air Conditioner with design-driven features and functions that offer a refined and contemporary look to meet the needs of every Filipino family.

Over the years, Midea has always been at the forefront of innovative, efficient, and surprisingly friendly intelligent home solutions to make homemade happiness and tiny moments at home possible for every family. Keeping this vision front and center, the brand was recognized by Euromonitor International (Shanghai) Limited in Consumer Appliances as the world’s no.1 in air coolers, air treatment, cooling fans, small cooking appliances, and rice cookers brand.

In recognition of the many trailblazing home solutions it recently introduced, the Midea Group also ranked 245th on the new 2022 Fortune Global 500 List. It is the 7th consecutive year for Midea Group to rank on this List, up 43 spots from last year.

Midea U is the world’s first U-shaped inverter window air conditioner, with design-driven features and functions that reshape the idea of cooling.

Midea U is the first of its kind in the Philippines and is one of those groundbreaking solutions that reshape the idea of cooling. Its breakthrough U-shaped design cleverly divides the unit into two parts – locating the compressor in a separate compartment, allowing ultra-quiet operations as low as 42 decibels, to give the user the quietness of a split-type air conditioner, and the convenience of its U-shaped compact design where users can easily open and close the window to get fresh air whenever they need it.

Truly embodying the notion of everyday homemade happiness through its smart cooling solution designed just for “U”, this smart home appliance gives Filipino families the best of both worlds. Midea U’s patented full inverter technology delivers substantial energy savings compared to traditional AC units. It’s the first window aircon to be awarded the coveted US’ Energy Star’s Most Efficient 2021 certification. It also features a strong airflow so users can feel the cold air from up to 20 feet away, and a full DC inverter technology to rapidly cool the room to make families even more comfortable whether they’re bonding with family, working from home, or enjoying a good night’s sleep.

Installation is quick and easy too – users can simply fit and secure the unit into the previously prepared AC opening hole, and set it in place, as directed in the installation manual.

Midea U also takes cooling up a notch as it can effortlessly be controlled via Midea’s SmartHome app which is available for free on iOS and Android devices. This app brings cloud-based control to any smartphone or tablet in and out of the home or business. Users can also remotely check and change the temperature, select modes, and fan speeds, and even program a cooling schedule via the Midea SmartHome app. It will also respond to voice commands through Google and Alexa-enabled devices.

Midea U is now available at Midea Philippines’ official website at https://www.midea.com/ph and available at the following Midea Philippines flagship stores:

You can also check out more Midea intelligent home solutions at leading appliance stores nationwide.

DIY home repair with KYK Tools

DIY home repair with KYK Tools

March 10 is an important day because it is the day “the world stood still” – when everyone around the world acknowledged COVID-19 as a pandemic and nations went on different levels of quarantine/lockdown.

frontliners fighting the COVID-19 pandemic

Artwork thanks to Carlo Vergara. It depicts the frontliners’ fight against the COVID-19 virus.

Covid-19 has caused fear to humanity and made the whole world to a standstill. Two-thirds of the country is mostly affected due to its abrupt spread. The government deemed it necessary to enact an Enhanced Community Quarantine to help contain the spread of the virus which left people wondering what to do at home for 30 days.

For myself, there hasn’t been much change since I usually work from home, but there is a difference between choosing to stay home and being forced to stay home. But it still left me with a need to do something different, something more active. Aside from the usual household chores, I started noticing the little things all over the house that I could fix myself that I have been putting off for some time.

From the time I was a little girl, I have always been handy around the house and my dad’s tools always fascinated me. I grew up having a close familiarity with screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, hammers, and saws. Being the eldest child I became Ms. Fix-it and oftentimes I would be tasked to fix things like a leaky faucet, a squeaky door, etc.

The KYK Tool Kit is the perfect toolkit for me. It is compact and easy to carry but when you open it you will find it packed with so many tools … 42 pieces in fact!

I also like how everything has a specified slot so that you know exactly where each tool is supposed to go.  The OC in me is super happy. 😀

What does the KYK Tool Kit contain?

The kit contains:

  • 1/4DR sockets (9 pieces) ranging from 5 to 13mm.
  • hex key wrenches (12 pieces) ranging from 0.9 to 6mm.
  • 6-inch long nose pliers
  • 6-inch diagonal pliers
  • precision screwdrivers (2 pieces) – Philips (+) and flathead (-)
  • 18mm cutter
  • 9-inch level
  • 8-inch scissors
  • 6-inch adjustable wrench
  • claw hammer
  • 25mm bits (10 pieces)
  • bit driver
  • 3-meter measuring tape

The only things missing here are a saw, a drill, a paint roller, paint brushes, and a pan. 🙂  And, yes, I know how to use all of them. 🙂

The tools to get the job done

kyk toolsKYK Tools brings the right tools to get the job done and is very affordable.  If you have a DIY need, KYK probably has the tool you need.

LG Twinwash: redefining the concept of laundry

LG Twinwash: redefining the concept of laundry

LG Twinwash posterIn 2016, LG Electronics  brought to the Philippine market a breakthrough washing machine that redefined the concept of laundry.

The world’s first LG TWINWashTM enabled two separate loads to be washed simultaneously by combining a full-sized front loading washing machine with a mini-washer in a hideaway pedestal – saving time, space, and energy.

Further raising the bar in home appliance innovation, LG Electronics brings into the Philippine market a new TWINWashTM model that comes with LG’s user-centric and efficient dryer function.  This provides consumers with the ultimate all-in-one solution as well as a washer/dryer that meets their everyday laundry needs.

The TWINWashTM main washer uses an array of advanced technologies such as TrueSteamTM and TurboWashTM to provide a powerful washing performance.  The TrueSteamTM penetrates fabrics with steam to eliminate 99.9 percent of household allergens as well as wrinkles and odors all while softening and refreshing clothing.  The powerful TurboWashTM minimizes washing time by using powerful jet spray and filtration to disperse concentrated detergent directly onto the clothes inside.

lg-twinwashThe TWINWashTM is also equipped with the SmartThinQ Mobile Control that allows users to easily control and monitor the appliance  from anywhere using a smartphone or tablet.  Using Wi-Fi connectivity, this allows you start a wash, track its progress and energy consumption, download additional wash cycles, diagnose and resolve issues by opening the Smart DiagnosisTM program.

The TWINWashTM maximizes user convenience by making it possible for users to wash two loads of laundry at once and significantly reduce washing time.  With both a main washer and mini washer that can be operated independently or simultaneously, the TWINWashTM enables users to wash laundry items which require separate settings (such as colors and whites, normal and delicate items, large and small items in addition to clothing for adults and children).

With precious space and ergonomics in mind, the LG TWINWashTM is designed to fit in the space of a typical front loading washing machine so nothing is sacrificed for the added convenience.  The door of the main washer is aligned with the drum’s center, positioned higher than on conventional models and tilted at an angle to make loading and unloading the main drum easier.

At the heart of the LG TWINWashTM is the revolutionary Inverter Direct Drive motor – an innovative eco-friendly technology that ensures smoother engine drum movement and provides maximum efficiency for enhanced durability to benefit you and the environment.  Through the LG Inverter Direct Drive technology, washing time is optimally adjusted according to the type of clothing,  and deliver up to 44% savings in electricity costs.

Behind LG Electronics’ drive for innovation is its persistent and continued commitment to sustainability as a core value.  The LG TWINWashTM is undeniably an addition to LG Electronics’ line of ethical and future-proof home appliances that stand for reliability and usability, save energy, reduce ecological footprints, and consequently deliver a positive, healthier, environmental impact.

“The LG TWINWash™ is designed to not only make laundry duties quicker and more convenient at home, but also ensure that each and every garment is given the special care it deserves,” LG Philippines Home Appliance VP Wooyoung Jeon said.  “The simple yet innovative concept of the TWINWashTM has propelled LG Electronics to the front of the pack in the washing machine segment, and is another leap forward in our commitment to make life good and the environment better for our Filipino consumers.”’
