No matter how many loads you’ve done, laundry is one of the chores where little mistakes can creep in — and those mistakes can cost you. From shrinking sweaters to smelly towels forgotten in the washer, most of us are guilty of making missteps that waste time, energy, and money.

Samsung can help with that. Its brand new Bespoke AI Vented Laundry Combo — Samsung's first ever combo — delivers the speed, capacity and drying performance[1] that old-fashioned combos could only dream of. It's the smarter, simpler and easier way to clean and dry even the biggest laundry loads.

Mistake 1: using too much detergent

A mountain of suds might look satisfying, but it doesn’t mean your laundry is getting cleaner. In fact, excess soap can leave clothes feeling stiff, lock in odors, and even cause buildup inside your washer.

The fix: With features like Samsung’s Bespoke AI Vented Laundry Combo and its Flex Auto Dispense System, the machine does the measuring for you. It releases the perfect amount of detergent every time, keeping your fabrics fresh and residue-free while cutting down on waste.[2]

Mistake 2: forgetting there's a load in the washer

We’ve all tossed in a load before heading out, only to come home hours later to discover damp, musty-smelling clothes. Not only is that frustrating, but rewashing wastes water, energy and your precious time.

The fix: The Bespoke AI Vented Laundry Combo can run a complete wash-and-dry cycle in just 68 minutes[3] — so there’s no waiting around or remembering to move clothes from washer to dryer. Just press start and come back to clean, dry laundry.

Mistake 3: ignoring clothing labels

Different fabrics need different care, and putting everything on the same cycle can mean you end up with stretched sweaters or faded jeans — but who has time to decode every tiny tag?

The fix: Built-in AI sensors[4] automatically detect fabric type[5][6], soil level, and load size, then adjust settings for the best clean. It even connects to Samsung’s SmartThings app[7], so you can control it remotely and get cycle recommendations and alerts right on your phone.[8]

Mistake 4: letting laundry eat up your day

Laundry has a reputation for taking hours — and with traditional machines, that’s often true. A single load would mean separate wash and dry cycles that drag on all afternoon.

The fix: With its vented drying system, the Bespoke AI Vented Laundry Combo dries clothes faster[9] and more efficiently than older condenser-style combos. Pair that with its 5.3 cu. ft. capacity — one of the largest in its class — and it can handle big family loads in one go. And with a 68-minute wash-to-dry cycle, you truly get hours of your day back.

Mistake 5: overlooking energy waste

Running multiple machines for long cycles can rack up your utility bills — and put extra wear on your clothes.

The fix: With Samsung’s AI Energy Mode[10], the Combo automatically adjusts the water temperature and energy use to be more efficient.[11] It even includes a Less Microfiber Cycle that helps cut down on microplastic[12] release from synthetic fabrics — a win for your wardrobe and the environment.

The bottom line

Laundry may never be fun, but avoiding these common mistakes makes it a lot easier. And with appliances that handle detergent, fabric care, and faster drying for you, it’s possible to save time, stress, and energy – all in a single load.
