To Remove Solid Mud Stains

Choose a top-loader that can scrub laundry thoroughly.

Generally top-loaders that can soak laundry in the tub and scrub them thoroughly are better for removal of stubborn mud.

To Remove Yellowing and Darkening Around the Collars and Sleeves

To Remove Yellowing and Darkening Around the Collars and Sleeves

Choose models with hot water washing function.

Yellowing and darkening around the collar are caused by oxidised sebum, which only dissolves with warm water soaking.
 

Panasonic Advantages

Panasonic’s washers are also equipped with a built-in heater for hot water washing. Models with StainMaster+ also come with a Collar/Sleeve course that uses hot water at 40°C to remove yellowing and darkening on collars and sleeves that you could not remove before without pre-washing.

To Minimise Fabric Damage

To Minimise Fabric Damage

Choose a model with an inverter that offers Delicates course

You need to wash delicate clothes, such as satin, lace, synthetic fibres, etc., as indicated on the washing labels. Since they should be washed with a gentle water flow, we recommend choosing a model with a course for delicates or with an inverter with fine control of the strength of water flow. 
 

Panasonic Advantages

Models with the Delicates course*² *³ gently rock the wash tank from side to side like a cradle. This minimises damage, as the drum’s characteristic tapping is not used. 

Models with the Hybrid Dry function equipped with a heat pump for lowtemperature drying can also dry clothes efficiently while minimising fabric damage.
