We have been getting quite a lot of questions recently in regards to Samsung Silver Nano in Samsung front load washing machines, so we thought we would do a post outlining the key benefits of this system.

Samsung front load washing machines silver nano health system features

The Silver nano health system for Samsung washing machines use nano technology

The nano technology introduced by Samsung helps clean, protect and sanitise clothes being washed, on a microscopic level, so your clothes come out not only spotless, but bacteria free and the nano technology completely sanitises not only your clothes but also disinfects your drum from up to 99.99% of germs, meaning the washing machine and your clothes will last the test of time.

The Silver nano health system for Samsung washing machines ensure maximum energy saving

With the use of the silver nano technology, the sanitary levels that the technology produces, usually needs at least a 95 degree Celsius wash, meaning great amounts of energy required in heating the water. This new technology enables the same sanitary results with a cold water wash, meaning less energy is used and the same, if not better results, are achieved.

The Silver nano health system for Samsung washing machines ensures easy maintenance

Some washing machines have the downfall of allowing mould/bacteria to build up and survive the rigorous washing cycles. The Samsung silver nano technology targets all types of bacteria and mould within the Samsung washing machine to provide peace of mind and easier maintenance.

The Silver nano health system for Samsung washing machines anti-bacterial protection lasts as long as one month

The silver nano ions form a coat of protection against unsanitary conditions for your extended health and safety; it helps prevent 99.99% of fungus, mould and bacteria from forming on your garments and guarantees this for up to 30 days.

As stated above the silver nano health system technology is available in many of the Samsung front load washing machines, these washing machines include the benefits listed above and the features listed on each Samsung washing machine detail page.
