During the rainy season, almost everyone has experienced having at least one batch of laundry that takes ages to dry. With the weather becoming increasingly unpredictable these days, how do you keep your clothes and fabric fresh, clean, and kulob-free?
Midea (pronounced mai-dee-yah), the leader in intelligent, and surprisingly friendly home solutions, shares this simple guide to help you keep your newly washed clothes and fabrics clean, fresh, and vibrant even when the monsoon hits.
Choose the right washing cycle and mode.
With so many different options available to us, it’s important to choose the correct spin cycle for the clothes we’re washing. For a more hassle-free washing experience, there’s the Midea 8.5Kg Fully Automatic Top Load Washing Machine that automatically calculates and determines the spin duration, water program, water level, and the number of rinses that your clothes need.
This washer also has 8 different wash programs to assist you in washing your clothes properly and easily such as Standard, Quick, Bulky, Delicates, Intensive, Mini Wash, Jeans, and Dump Dry options. All these come with an energy-efficient washing experience, thanks to the inverter function, making your washing experience more efficient and less time-consuming.
Hot water gets the job done.
When it comes to washing your workout pants, socks, and undergarments hot water can be the best option for thoroughly cleaning dirt and odors. To help you better take care of your clothes and leave them smelling clean and fresh the next day, you can start off with the Midea’s 12/8Kg Fully Automatic Front Load Combo Washing Machine which has a built-in water heater that allows you to adjust the water temperature from 30°C to 75°C to efficiently remove dirt, bacteria, and odor from fabrics, and give you clothes are free from amoy-kulob, even during the rainy season.
Say goodbye to clutter and an unorganized laundry stack as this washer also comes with 16 pre-set functions such as Cotton, Delicate, ECO Wash, Rapid, Stain Wash, Jeans, Normal, Duvet, Dry Only, Auto Clean, Shoes, Towel, Antiallergic, Silent, Spin Only, and My Cycle. This 2-in-1 washer also has a 1-hour wash-spin-dry cycle function so you can experience the best of both worlds and enjoy more cozy moments with your family!
Keep your washing machine dirt and clog-free.
A dirty washing machine is a perfect environment for mold and bacterial growth, as well as grime buildup so if you continue to wash your clothes in a not-so-clean washing machine, your clothes can get stained and come out with a not-so-pleasant smell. This is where the Midea 13KG Twin Tub can help.
This twin tub has a superb built feature which means it’s made from a highly durable plastic body that cannot be easily nipped away by dirt and clog and is also rustproof. Plus, it comes with a Magic Lint Filter that helps trap loose threads, leftover trash, sequins, and buttons so it won’t interfere with the cleaning process.
Go for the efficient inverter washer.
When you have loads of dirty clothes to wash, especially in this damp weather, time and electricity consumption are important considerations. The faster you can do your laundry, the more power and time you save. This is where Midea 7.5kg Front Load Washer Inverter can become your best laundry buddy. This washer comes with an inverter function that gives an energy-efficient washing experience – that means it uses the least amount of power without sacrificing its cleaning performance.
The Auto-Clean function of this front load also has a high-speed water flow that clears dirt residues off the inner and outer drum to prevent secondary pollution of the clothes. Plus, with its 15-quick wash feature, you can wrap up your laundry time in just 15 minutes – more time to spend relaxing or bonding with your family! Not only that, but Midea washers are also strategically installed with Piso-Wash features. This means that when you use Midea’s home-friendly solutions, the electricity cost per wash load is equivalent to only PHP1.00!
By making just a few tweaks to your routine and choosing the right washing appliance, you will know how to keep your laundry fresh during the rainy season and not let the rain dampen your plans. Another useful tip is to use a dehumidifier like the Midea Cube Dehumidifier to keep away the dampness and kulob-smell on your clothes while making sure you’re home environment is safe from moisture. You can conveniently keep dampness away wherever you are in your home by controlling this humidifier through the Midea Air app.
Get rid of those kulob-smelling clothes effortlessly during the rainy season with Midea. Midea’s products are available at the following Midea Philippines online flagship stores:

The Internet of Things (IoT) has gone beyond being a buzzword and established a new world order wherein technology works to make people’s lives easier and more manageable.

Suddenly, all the contraptions that we saw in the animated series “The Jetsons” do not seem that far from reality.

When you think of IoT, you may think of wearables that track how much exercise and sleep you get or watches that allow you to send text messages. Then, of course, there are the many, many things you can now take control with the use of your smartphone.
LG Smart Thinq app available on Google Play and the Appstore
LG’s SmartThinQ is user-centric. It helps consumers better manage their lives through intuitive technology that fills the need for more convenient and more efficient home care.
SmartThinQ allows you to control the temperature settings of your LG InstaView Door-in-Door Refrigerator even when you’re not at home. That means you can decrease energy usage when you don’t have too many items in there and you can even turn on the Express Freeze function so that you have enough ice cubes when you get home for entertaining guests.
Smart Diagnosis helps troubleshoot simple problems with your refrigerator, even suggesting ways you can conserve energy based on your usage history.
On the LG TWINWash, SmartThinQ lets your phone function as a smart remote control so you can start your laundry even when you’re already far from home. You can also monitor how your load is coming along and push alerts are sent to your phone when the cycle is complete or an error occurs in the machine.
Smart Diagnosis also allows you to fix minor problems without having to call the service center. Taking the guesswork out of doing the laundry, the Energy Monitoring feature provides helpful data and LG’s HomeChat™ service allows you to check the status of the washing machine using everyday natural language.
More Innovative Ways on the LG InstaView Door-in-Door Refrigerator
The LG InstaView Door-in-Door Refrigerator only requires you to knock twice and the sleek mirrored glass panel will illuminate, revealing the contents of the easy access compartment.
That means you don’t have to keep opening the refrigerator door and peeking inside — that equates to energy savings and up to 41% less cold air loss, keeping your food and drinks fresher for a longer period of time.
Meanwhile, the Moist Balance Crisper keeps the moisture level for your fresh produce at the optimal level. That means crunchier vegetables and fruits. It also features the SpacePlus Ice System with an ice storage space that is 20% bigger than the conventional. The Inverter Linear Compressor gives you 32% energy savings.
More Innovative Ways on theLG TWINWash
The LG TWINWash cuts down time you spend doing the laundry because you can do two separate loads at the same time: the bigger TWINWash for your regular load and the TWINWash Mini for delicates.
It also features LG’s unique TurboWash 2.0 technology: a nozzle inside the drum of the main washer sprays a concentrated solution of detergent directly onto the clothes and another high-pressure nozzle sprays tiny water particles through the clothes during high spin cycles for more effective rinsing.
Meanwhile, the revolutionary Inverter Direct Drive motor is attached directly to the drum. This improves wash efficiency and enhances the machine’s durability.
“We have greatly involved ourselves in the smart ecosystem with IoT Technology to deliver our promise of bringing a better life through innovation.” LG Philippines Home Appliance VP Wooyoung Jeon said. “Through the SmartThinQ technology, LG has increased connectivity to help you take control of important, everyday tasks on your washing machine and refrigerator remotely–not only in terms of easy functions but also troubleshooting–all with a few taps on your smartphones”.

Every time the door is opened, cold air escapes, and electricity is consumed. This innovation adds up to 41% less cold air loss, so your food and drinks stay fresher for longer, and you save on electricity costs.
Keeping fruits and vegetables fresh is important, and a refrigerator should be able to do this. The Moist Balance Crisper keeps the moisture level at optimal levels, so you get juicy fruits and crisp vegetables every time.
Ice for hot summer days. Ice for cold evening drinks. The SpacePlus Ice System allocates 20% bigger ice storage space than the conventional refrigerator, so you can have more ice for all the different ways you want to keep cool in our tropical weather.

SmartThinQ lets your phone function as a smart remote control so you can start your laundry even when you’re already far from home. You can also monitor how your load is coming along and have push alerts sent to your phone when the cycle is complete or an error occurs in the machine.

In 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.
The 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.”’
