In late August, many parents and students are busy preparing uniforms for the new school year. Thanh Phuong, residing in Tan Thuan ward, TP HCM, recently purchased three new sets of uniforms for her child, replacing the old ones that had yellowed after 9 months of use. Keeping uniforms clean and looking new is a common desire among parents and teachers. However, maintaining the crispness and original color of shirts, trousers, or ao dai over hundreds of washes and continuous wear presents a challenge.

For students, frequent uniform use and activities leading to sweat and dirt often cause clothes to yellow and dull over time. While "washing clean" after each wear is a starting point, the greater challenge lies in preserving the bright white appearance and durability through hundreds of continuous washes over 9 long months.

Meanwhile, teachers' attire, such as white shirts, trousers, or ao dai, demands a polished appearance for every lecture. Beyond routine stain removal, caring for these garments requires attention to fabric quality and fit, ensuring clothes remain clean and neat for days spent in the classroom.

Recognizing this need, Toshiba has applied Origin Color technology to its Japandi T37 washer-dryer duo, shifting the focus from conventional "cleaning" to "fabric color care and protection".

Instead of just surface cleaning, Origin Color technology uses an electrocatalytic reaction to create 5 types of active oxygen. These active oxygen molecules oxidize and clean sebum on clothes, working with detergent to penetrate deep into each fiber, effectively removing stubborn stains. This process ensures clothes are thoroughly cleaned, while also preventing yellowing and maintaining their original brightness over time.

In addition to Origin Color technology, the premium Toshiba Japandi T37 washer-dryer duo also integrates a smart technology ecosystem, providing a comprehensive care process for garments.

For the washer, SenseDose smart dispensing technology automatically identifies the laundry load and precisely calculates the required amount of detergent and softener. This minimizes residue and waste. With this technology, users only need to fill the dispenser once, and it can be used for multiple wash cycles, saving time and effort in laundry tasks.

Garment care effectiveness is further enhanced through Aroma+ fragrance retention technology. According to company tests, this feature makes clothes softer and retains fragrance two times longer than conventional washing machines. This is particularly suitable for students and teachers who are active at school from morning to evening, making clothes prone to sweat odors and potentially causing a loss of confidence in social interactions.

Moreover, the Toshiba Japandi T37 washer also incorporates Great Steam technology, which uses hot steam to penetrate fabric fibers, eliminating bacteria, removing allergens, and smoothing wrinkles. This is a solution for fabrics that need to maintain their shape, such as shirts, trousers, or ao dai, saving ironing time each morning.

To complete the uniform care process, teachers and parents can also use the Japandi T37 heat pump dryer. It is equipped with multiple fabric care and health protection technologies, ensuring clothes are soft, clean, and safe for sensitive skin. For instance, heat pump drying technology offers gentle drying at appropriate temperatures, protecting fabric structure, minimizing shrinkage, and preventing damage after each cycle. As a result, clothes remain soft and retain their color as if new, while also saving energy during operation.

Meanwhile, Hygiene Care technology combines drying temperature and UV light to eliminate bacteria and prevent the buildup of allergens, protecting sensitive skin. This technology addresses the problem of uniforms accumulating dirt and bacteria due to children's active play and participation in physical activities.

Furthermore, the Japandi T37 dryer can automatically adjust drying time and temperature precisely thanks to SenseDry – smart heat and humidity sensors. This helps prevent fabric damage and reduces energy consumption.

Toshiba has also introduced LuxeCare technology, specifically for dry care, into the Japandi T37 dryer line. This technology generates small molecular steam that deeply penetrates fabric fibers, reducing wrinkles, deodorizing, and removing dust, keeping clothes soft and colorfast. This feature is particularly useful for garments stored in wardrobes for three summer months. With just one treatment cycle, clothes can be quickly refreshed without re-washing, saving users time and effort.

Beyond solving uniform challenges for children, the 2026 version of the Toshiba Japandi T37 washer-dryer duo also meets the needs of teachers for maintaining their classroom attire. Its closed wash-dry cycle ensures clothes are deeply cleaned, gently dried, and ready to wear immediately, without reliance on weather conditions or drying space.

"With the new school year underway, the 2026 version of the Toshiba Japandi T37 washer-dryer duo is ready to support families, alleviating worries about stains and preserving the original color of garments, ensuring neatness for every school day," a brand representative stated.
