Taking Steps Towards Sustainable Laundry
We waste a lot of resources in our daily lives. Even daily tasks such as laundry use a lot of water and electricity. All we have to do is reimagine our lifestyle a little to find a way to pursue sustainable laundry.
Environmentally Efficient
How I used to handle sustainable laundry
I used to wash my clothes by manually adjusting the amount of water and wash time, or I would wash in full loads so I could save water and electricity.

Saving water, effortlessly
AI Smart Wash automatically detects how much laundry there is and chooses the optimal mode with just the right amount of water and duration. Thanks to this, I can get a clean and efficient wash effortlessly.

Improves Hygiene of My Laundry
Hard to stay active and stay clean
I engage in various environmental activities and exercise frequently. Therefore, I want to make sure my clothes are hygienic as possible to reduce health risks.

Hygienic and sustainable
Normally washing machines have to use warm water to remove bacteria. However, this washing machine eliminates the majority of bacteria with just a cold wash. Keeping your clothes hygienic without using excess electricity to warm the water.

Being Mindful of Our Choices

Instead of following trends, I focus on developing my own style with a capsule wardrobe of only my favourite pieces. For me, clothing is not something to be easily consumed and disposed of, it is an expression of my sense of style.
Taking Care of My Favourite Pieces
Dries my clothes gently
This washing machine dries your clothes at a lower temperature to avoid damage, which means you don’t have to choose between convenience and the longevity of your clothes.

A little easier, with technology
With the app, I can schedule the laundry to finish while running errands and hang my clothes up immediately when I get home. Also, the app reminds me with a notification when laundry is done, so I don’t forget my clothes in the washer.
