Bedbugs Are Vulnerable to Heat

As nationwide fear of 'bindae' (bedbugs) spreads, interest in home appliances effective for bindae control is growing. Bindae, which are mainly active at night, suck 7 to 10 times more blood than mosquitoes and cause severe itching. They are difficult to control with regular insecticides. Especially in winter, when people wear thick clothes like padding and coats, bindae can cling to clothing and enter homes, so caution is needed.

What is the proper way to get rid of bindae?

According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency's bindae control method, the correct way to eliminate bindae is to use the high heat of steam or the heat from a dryer. Bindae are vulnerable to heat and die when exposed to temperatures above 50℃. Therefore, fabrics where bindae live or are contaminated should be dried at high temperatures of 50~60℃ for more than 30 minutes using a dryer. Mattresses, wallpaper, furniture, and other items can be treated with heat thoroughly using a steam iron or hairdryer to prevent bindae.

For outerwear, it is recommended to manage them by applying the high heat of steam. Of course, this can be easily done with home appliances. Last year, LG Electronics released the next-generation clothing care appliance LG Styler Objet Collection equipped with 100℃ Dual TrueSteam technology, as well as LG Tromm Objet Collection washing machines, dryers, and wash towers.

The TrueSteam technology of the LG Styler Objet Collection uses a dry heat sterilization method that includes moist steam. This is LG Electronics' patented technology that does not simply sterilize by heating the air but boils water to 100℃ and applies steam particles that are 1/1600 the size of a water droplet directly onto clothing. Also, unlike the general TrueSteam with one heater, the Dual TrueSteam has two heaters, allowing for more precise and delicate control of steam output depending on the fabric type.

Using the steam sterilization course of the LG Styler Objet Collection can remove 99.99% of four types of harmful bacteria and eleven types of viruses invisible to the eye inside clothes, and it is also effective in removing house dust mites. The steam sterilization course consists of three detailed courses: standard, fine dust, and virus. In particular, the fine dust course uses Moving Hanger Plus technology, which moves up to 200 times per minute to shake the clothes directly and evenly remove fine dust.

Now feel safe with TrueSteam technology in LG Styler, Dryer, and Washing Machine

LG Electronics' exclusive TrueSteam technology is not only applied to the Styler but also to dryers and washing machines. This means that everything that touches your body at home can be sterilized with products equipped with TrueSteam whenever needed. Bedding, which is used daily, can be managed with the Allergy Care course of the LG Tromm washing machine. If washing bedding daily is burdensome, you can use the steam sterilization course or the bedding shaking course with a steam option on the LG Tromm dryer.

The Allergy Care course of the washing machine and the steam sterilization course of the dryer can remove 100% of house dust mites and 99.99% of three types of harmful bacteria, seven types of viruses, and some allergy-causing substances.

Park Won-young, head of Living Solution Marketing at LG Electronics Korea Sales Headquarters, said, “Recently, as bindae have appeared in large numbers nationwide, consumers' anxiety about sterilization and hygiene is increasing. LG Electronics will do its best to help consumers experience safer and healthier clothing care by using our products.”
