The Samsung activewash\u2122 5.2 cu. ft. Top Load Washer with built-in sink makes pre-treating clothes easier, less messy and more convenient than ever before. With stand-alone laundry rooms at the top of the \u201cmost wanted\u201d list for Millennials<sup>1<\/sup>, the time has never been more right for an appliance that can tackle any fabric need.<\/div>\n<p>With the introduction of activewash\u2122, Samsung has added a simple yet revolutionary feature to its top-load laundry line-up. The washer features a sink built into the washer lid itself, with a water jet and gentle scrubbing surface in the sink basin to make it convenient to scrub stains or hand wash delicate items. Once clothes are pre-treated in the sink, an opening at the rear of the basin makes it easy for clothes and water to drop into the drum of the machine with no mess.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLaundry has always played a very specific role in the home, and we&#8217;ve taken a long hard look at how we can enhance, and even expand, the role of the washer for today\u2019s new generation of homeowners,\u201d said <strong>John Herrington, Senior Vice President, General Manager of Home Appliances, Samsung Electronics America<\/strong>. \u201cWith activewash\u2122, Samsung is bringing a new level of innovation and time-saving convenience to the laundry process, which can be a pain point for consumers \u2013 especially as we head into the stain-heavy spring and summer months. The built-in sink, large capacity and SuperSpeed technology make this new washer the ideal combination of simplicity, performance and technology.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>Saving You from the Season of Stains<\/h4>\n<p>Millennials agree \u2013 according to research, that the laundry room is one of the key spaces in the home that can benefit from technology upgrades<sup>2<\/sup>. While the basics, such as pre-treatment, are critical to removing tough stains, consumers can be frustrated with this time consuming task. And since most laundry rooms don\u2019t have a separate sink to use for laundry prep or for washing delicate fabrics by hand, they are forced to pre-treat their clothes outside the laundry room, adding time and mess to the process.<\/p>\n<p>To make the job easier, Samsung offers several tips on how to pre-treat tough laundry challenges.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Game Day Grass and Dirt<\/strong>: Whether it\u2019s a friendly game of football or competitive softball match, grass and dirt stains are no stranger. With Samsung\u2019s activewash\u2122, consumers can use the built-in sink in the top of the washer to treat those stains before you toss your items in for washing.\n<ul>\n<li>TIP: For grass, use a solution of 2 parts water to 1 part white vinegar to scrub the stain first in the activewash\u2122 sink; then rinse the stained area using the water jet before washing clothes. To pretreat a tough dirt stain, scrape off any dried dirt and scrub the area with detergent before running a load of wash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t Let Pasta Spoil Your Party<\/strong>: We\u2019ve all been there \u2013 you decide to grab a quick bite at home before you head out to meet friends and end up with marinara sauce on your favorite pair of jeans. In this instance, speed is your friend. Samsung&#8217;s breakthrough Super Speed technology provides a faster and more thorough wash cycle &#8212; up to 40% faster<sup>3<\/sup> \u2013 without sacrificing cleaning performance. You can quickly wash a full load in as little as 36 minutes and save over 3 hours of laundry time every week &#8212; so you can clean and be back in your best jeans before it\u2019s time to hit the town.\n<ul>\n<li>TIP: Blot the tomato sauce stain and rinse the area with water hitting the back of the stain. Gently rub with liquid detergent in the activewash\u2122 sink and then put into the wash as normal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serious Sauces<\/strong>: Grilling out is a great idea, until you\u2019re faced with a mountain of the family\u2019s laundry filled with condiment stains. The Samsung activewash\u2122 washer features AquaJet<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> wash system which harnesses the power of high-impact water jets to gently wash even the biggest loads. Its powerful spray ensures an ultra-deep yet safe wash for all your clothes.\n<ul>\n<li>TIP: Ketchup is a tough stain and needs to be tackled immediately. Run the stain under cold water using the water jet in the activewash\u2122 sink, scrub with a sponge, then gently rub laundry detergent on the affected spot. Add more detergent and let the item soak for 30 minutes in warm water before washing as usual.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>The following Samsung activewashTM Top Load Washers and matching dryer are available now:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>5.2 cu. ft. activewash\u2122 Top Load Washer in platinum (WA52J8700AP), with an MSRP of $1,199.00<\/li>\n<li>5.2 cu. ft. activewash\u2122 Top Load Washer in white (WA52J8700AW), with an MSRP of $1,099.00<\/li>\n<li>4.8 cu. ft. activewash\u2122 Top Load Washer in platinum (WA48J7770AP), with an MSRP of $999.000<\/li>\n<li>4.8 cu. ft. activewash\u2122 Top Load Washer in white (WA48J7770AW), with an MSRP of $899.00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information about Samsung appliances, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsung.com\">www.samsung.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>About Samsung Electronics America, Inc.<\/h3>\n<p>Headquartered in Ridgefield Park, NJ, Samsung Electronics America, Inc.
