For most of us, the care-labels inside our wearables generally come as nothing more than a source of itch and discomfort. The tiny fonts threaded with ambiguous icons never really made much sense to any of us, and so we love to be done with them with a slice of scissors, mostly right after bringing the clothes home, forgetting the fact that the labels actually contain valuable information and direction on how to properly wash and maintain the fabric for longevity. Especially, when it comes to warm winter clothes made of unique fabrics and other exclusive garment components, obtaining typical means of washing can sometimes result in totally irreparable consequences.
Winter is finally beginning to spread its smoggy veil all across the country, it is quite common in every household to feel the need to bring the warmest of clothing items and dry them out in the sun before putting on them. But if we followed the right directions for washing winter clothes made of special components, we could opt for a thorough cleaning of our favorite shawls and scarves, and wear them more confidently.
Besides lack of knowledge on how to take care of woolen fabrics, the coldness of regular tap water can also be bothersome for many to engage in dipping and rinsing of clothes that are relatively heavier. But considering the dampness generated inside winter clothes due to humidity, which can also attract insects and germs, it is recommended that we wash these wearables at least for once before wearing. Washing clothes in regular volumes during other seasons may as well seem easy, but as even the volume also increases with us having to put up 3 layers of clothes in total – washing can turn out to be quite a hassle for busy city-dwellers! Fortunately for those willing to care for their clothes equally as they care for their health – now there are washing machines in the market with dedicated features that offer an added touch of delicacy in the otherwise rough-n-tough action of getting rid of the dust and germs.
For instance, Samsung top loader washing machine offers a perfect blend of cure and care for your favorite winter wearables. Besides banking on its Digital Inverter Technology for sustainable uses (consuming up to 40 percent less energy!), the washing machine comes with ‘Wobble Technology’ that prevents clothes from getting tangled and damaged. Its advanced pulsators produce a dynamic, multi-directional washing flow that saves clothes from twists and knots, ensuring a gentle cleansing. On top of that, there is also the ‘Hygiene Steam’ facility, which enables washing at 60 degree Celsius. This helps to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria, and also removes stubborn and oily stains for a perfect wash.
Besides these essential features, Samsung washing machine also comes with Magic Dispenser that can create a powerful water vortex for a cleaner output, Deep Softener that can optimize the rinsing algorithm reducing wastage, Smart Check for easy troubleshooting and many more modern features. And not to forget – the dynamic edge this sleek, dark gadget could add to your household might also be a plus one for you. There is also a range of Samsung Front Load washing machines available in the market to provide the most advanced washing performance.
Parachute Just for Baby is driving a countrywide Winter Recommendation Campaign featuring actor and presenter Masuma Rahman Nabila in a video to make mothers aware of the importance of choosing safe and reliable skincare products for their babies, especially during the dry winter months.
In the video, Nabila, as a mother, shares her experience with Parachute Just for Baby Face Cream for her baby. She shared, usually, she takes plenty of care for her baby to protect from winter dryness but her babyneeds extra care for her delicate face.
She said, her babies’ body is generally very well covered with clothes and not directly exposed to the cold. However, her face is a lot more in the open. It is directly under attack of the cold because cold keeps on touching her face. On top of it, the face is even more delicate than the body. That makes the face very vulnerable to extra rough cold than the body. Hence, you need something with more protectionfrom the cold for the baby face.

As winter is here, the weather is becoming drier, accounting for higher amounts of dust particles in the air. With so much accumulation visible on the pieces of furniture at home, imagine how much dust we are actually inhaling throughout the day!
Air pollution is the greatest environmental threat to public health globally and accounts for an estimated 7 million premature deaths every year . Invisible particles in the air have the capability to penetrate every cell and organ in our bodies, causing acute and chronic diseases including asthma, strokes, heart attacks and dementia. Moreover, many babies also suffer from adverse, long-term impacts of breathing polluted air from their very beginning. On top of that, inhaling such polluted air creates incomparable difficulties for people suffering from respiratory problems and seasonal allergies.
To make things worse, the Air Quality Index (AQI) of Bangladesh (particularly Dhaka), mostly remains around the “Unhealthy” level, causing the city to often being ranked highly among the “most polluted cities in the world”. PM2.5 (tiny particles of 2.5 microns or less in diameter that can cause an array of dangerous health complications ) concentration in Dhaka is mostly seen to be few folds of the WHO annual air quality guideline value .
We may think that we are safe indoors, but turns out that the quality of air outside the house has been found to be better (if not the same as) than inside the house . A number of pollutants including biological pollutants such as dust mites, cockroach parts, bacteria or viruses, pet dander and pollen can be found in the air. Besides, harmful gas and chemicals such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, etc. are also emitted indoors, catering to the birth or worsening of serious health hazards.
Now the question arises - is there any solution? Fortunately, the answer is yes. Technology has stepped in to introduce easy solutions to such issues, enabling us to breathe safe to live safe. Combatting outdoor air pollution is still a long-term battle to fight, however, a wide range of air purifiers are now available in the market to keep the indoor air clean. Among the available ones in the market, Samsung’s air purifier stands out with its unique offerings. The South Korean tech company’s HEPA Filter and Wi-Fi enabled air purifiers cover relatively larger areas so that you are never out of the safety bubble – be it your home or office!
Moreover, the quality of indoor air can easily be known through the machine’s digital display. A Laser PM Sensor detects the tiniest dust particles (till less than 1.0㎛) and gaseous contaminants. The numeric display then shows the exact level of PM1.0/2.5/10 sized air pollution and highlights how clean the air is with a 4-color Indicator. They have a multi-layered purification process to purify the tiny particles, harmful gases and germs present in the indoor air, by extracting larger dust particles; while an Activated Carbon Deodorization Filter removes harmful gases. The HEPA Filtration with ultrafine dust filter then captures up to 99.97% of 0.3㎛ sized dust. On top of that, their three-way airflow technology ensures germ-free fresh air within moments. Their Auto Mode senses the air pollution level and automatically adjusts the power and fan speed, significantly saving effort and energy use. And making life even easier, these machines can easily be controlled with the SmartThings app.
When buying any tech product, sustainability and quality come first. Hence, buying the best quality air purifier in the market ensures health for you and your family. Keeping that in mind, Samsung is offering three types of air purifiers, with prices ranging from BDT 24,900 to BDT 47,900.
Hence, it is very much possible to tackle indoor air pollution with such technology, truly allowing you to get home after a long day at work to an actual breath of fresh air!
