The number of households with companion animals in Korea is about 6 million and continues to increase. Last month, LG Electronics introduced the Tromm Washing Machine Steam Pet and Tromm Dryer Steam Pet, equipped with pet care functions, for customers living with pets.

The LG Tromm Dryer Steam Pet has enhanced performance in removing pet hair stuck on clothes. The pet care drying course uses patented TrueSteam technology, which is excellent at removing odors such as pet body scent and urine smell from clothing. By drying clothes together with the included drying balls accessory, pet hair attached to the clothes can be effectively removed.

The pet care washing course of the LG Tromm Washing Machine Steam Pet includes pre-washing, TrueSteam made by boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius, and a four-step safe rinse including warm water rinsing. This effectively removes pet urine, mud, grass, and other everyday stains on clothing. It is also useful for eliminating pet odors.

The washing and drying courses of these products remove allergens, which are the main causes of pet allergies. According to tests conducted by a Japanese allergen specialized testing institution, using these courses reduces dog and cat allergens remaining on clothing by 99.99%.

Yoon Dae-sik, Executive Vice President of External Cooperation at LG Electronics, said, "We were able to donate products equipped with technology for companion animals to places in need. We will continue to strive to fulfill our corporate social responsibility by utilizing LG’s differentiated technology."
