Tips on how to make your home #ElectroluxSummerReady

Leading home appliances brand Electrolux is here to help moms get ready for the summer.

Now that summer is here and most of us are eager to beat the heat by going to the beach, enroll in a swimming class, hit the gym, book an out of the country summer escapade, or to just simply stay at home and prepare indoor fun for the hottest summer days with the kids. I prepare tips to make your summer enjoyable with your children in tow.

These activities are not only exciting, but yield some incredible keepsakes and memories with your loved ones

Make an iced candy or frozen ice pops together.

I remember the time when my mother and I make some iced buko for us kids every summer.  It was fun and at the same time delicious and healthy.

Who doesn't love a cool, refreshing frozen ice pop?! Pick up some of your kids favorite fruits like a ripe mango, buco or some avocadoes. Just puree them and add yogurt or yakult for that extra kick in flavor. Scoop into ice pop molds or cups with sticks, or to an ice candy plastic, freeze until solid, and enjoy!

I love a strawberry yogurt ice pop -- mash strawberries and add yogurt, . Watermelon alone works well, too. Or just freeze a banana for a frosty treat.

 Assign a "Clean the pantry" task with your kid

Go get a big trash bag and start removing all the canned and dry goods that have expired or has foul smell or molds  in them. Get a damp sponge and clean away any debris that has accumulated. Organize the remaining items and check on dates and labels.  Donate or give away cans that aren’t going to be used. This would teach your child hardwork and  to get rid or dispose things that are not necessary in the house.

Electrolux PH launches Make Your Home Summer-Ready on March 29 at Happy Garden Makati. It was graced by celebrity guests Amina Aranaz-Alunan, Janice Villanueva and hosted by Patty Laurel Filart and Electrolux PH executives headed by ‎Country Marketing Manager Ms. Andrea Pionilla.

Guests presented tips on summer home design, as well as cleaning and organizing the home, and shared news on its latest appliances designed to help make your homes #ElectroluxSummerReady.

Electrolux Summer-Ready guest speaker Amina Aranaz-Alunan, founder, executive director and teacher of SoFA Design Institute, and Creative Director of fashion accessories and bag label ARANÁZ, shared her ideas on how to give homes a summer touch. I love how Amina is hands-on her home decoration. Her tips included accessorizing with items that have a hint of the sea or beach or adding a woven piece.

Another great way to give homes a summer makeover would be to bring a touch of nature. Aranaz described that moms can bring in tropical throw pillows, bedding, tropical indoor plants or even botanical wallpaper! She also suggested some stylish DIY projects that moms can do with the family like framing a tropical print, creating a bar cart or summer vignette.

Meanwhile, Janice Villanueva, successful mompreneur and founder of Mommy Mundo, a community of moms dedicated to making motherhood easier, shared her Summer-Ready Checklist, with hacks on keeping the home clean and clutter-free and fun summer activities for the family.

For the kitchen, Villanueva talked about the importance of cleaning out the refrigerator, including all compartments and interiors, throwing out expiring food and restocking on fresh food, including a mix of different kinds of foods that kids will like.

She advised moms to put these in easy to access containers so the kids (if age appropriate) can help themselves when they’re hungry.

Villanueva also reminded moms to sit down with the helpers to plan a menu since kids will be home all day – and to make sure they have healthy morning snacks and a filling merienda so kids don’t grab junk food in between.

When it comes to cooking, homemakers should make sure to clean the kitchen stove top and oven to make sure things are running properly. Cooking or baking sessions with the kids are also a great summer activity that teaches them a new skill while allowing moms to bond with them.

Moms can be #ElectroluxSummerReady with their latest line of appliances: (from l to r) the Electrolux UltimateCare Front Load Washing Machine, the Electrolux UltraFlex Vacuum Cleaner, the Electrolux Vita Inverter Split-Type Air Conditioner, the Electrolux NutriFresh Inverter Refrigerator and the Electrolux Cooking Range with Induction Cooktop & Electric Oven.

Hot and humid weather also means more allergens so moms should make sure to vacuum sofas, curtains, the rugs and even the bed and stuffed animals! Moms can even teach the kids to vacuum. “It’s actually a lot of fun for them and you can also reward them for doing chores,” Villanueva said.

Aside from providing summer-ready tips, Electrolux also launched their latest products that can help moms achieve a summer-ready home.

Delightful-E Simple to Save

Electrolux’s annual clothes donation drive is back with a twist. This year, Electrolux will continue to collect and wash your donated pre-loved clothes, but will add a personal touch to the advocacy.

From simply collecting pre-loved clothes for calamity-stricken survivors, Electrolux, in partnership with Gawad Kalinga’s Trese, will add extra warmth by transforming unusable donated clothes into quilts for new born babies from orphanages and other communities.


Quilts are traditionally made to preserve a story told by each piece of fabric sewn to form it.In Delightful-E Simple to Share, these quilts will document a story of underprivileged moms helping new-borns in need. This new twist to Electrolux’s advocacy aims to show that sharing goes beyond donating clothes.“Through Delightful-E Simple, we hope to mark the difference between giving and sharing. For when we share, we freely impart a piece of ourselves—our time, effort, and concern. Hence, we are able to give more,” explains Pionilla.

Electrolux understands that every peso and second counts,” said Andrea Pionilla, Marketing Manager of Electrolux Philippines. “This is the reason  behind Delightful-E Simple. We want to help moms save not just money but also their precious time by making their everyday tasks delightfully simple and easy.”

Delightful-E equipped Homes with Electrolux

Just thinking about my "tatay's" kitchen brings me back to my childhood. That smell of his soy squid with white wine and the recipe's he learned from his former boss-- and the times when I would hide hotdogs in my pockets everytime he cooked spaghetti (we were banned from eating anything with preservatives/processed meat back then) .

Not to be outdone, nanay would prepare her version of Mechado with coconut milk, which has become staple of every celebration--or by special request.

That was a time when life was less stressful, simpler and happier.

Electrolux seeks to bring back those happy moments of today, not only in the kitchen but throughout the entire house as it launches its Delightful-E campaign during a  "housewarming" party held at its new office in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. 

Delightful-E Yummy brings the delight back in everyday home activities with the family. These bonding moments become an avenue for enriching the culinary experience of food preparation and sharing meals with the family.

“Electrolux believes that the kitchen is the heart of the home,” shares Andrea Pionilla, Marketing Manager, Electrolux Philippines, Inc. “Delightful-E Yummy capitalizes on the simple yet most treasured family moments spent inside the kitchen as well as the stories that come with it.”

The event featured a cooking show with a twist wherein Electrolux brand endorsers—  celebrity chefs Chef Rosebud Benitez, Chef Bruce Lim, Chezka Kramer and daughter Kendra and mompreneur Janice Villanueva—shared family recipes that have touched their lives.

Delamar hosted the event with Electrolux endorsers Chef Bruce Lim and Janice Crisostomo-Villanueva.

To personify the campaign, Electrolux introduced its newest set of brand endorsers who best represent and embody what Delightful-E Yummy aims to promote.

“With everything I am juggling, sometimes it’s tough to find time to bond with my family,” shares Janice Crisostomo-Villanueva. Janice is the founder of Mommy Mundo, a family-focused online portal comprised of an active community of over 30,000 women.“This is why I enjoy weekends when there are less things to attend to. I spend more time in the kitchen baking and preparing our family’s favorite dishes—sometimes my children stay and watch, and learn how to do the recipes as well.”

“The best thing about being an Electrolux brand endorser is that I am able to promote strong family ties with the brand,” says Cheska Kramer, a celebrity mom of three and wife to basketball star, Doug Kramer.“Doing simple chores with the family becomes bonding moments with the help of Electrolux home appliances.”

Having a newborn baby in the house is a big joy to us,” says Chef Rosebud Benitez-Velasco, who recently gave birth to her baby, Kaeden. “But now I have less time for cooking and doing household chores. I love having Electrolux products because they are reliable and easy to use. Having these as my assistants in the kitchen and around the house really cut down the list of things I need to worry about.”

Chef Bruce Lim shares, “I am proud to be working with Electrolux, a brand that puts importance to the value of family. Families need not go out of the house to bond; even doing simple chores at home can be enjoyable when done together. I bring my son with me to the kitchen so he can watch and learn what I love to do, and I tell him stories about the dishes I make too.”

It was a day of delightful announcements as Electrolux also kicked off its digital campaign with the Delightful-E Yummy online photo contest, Delightful-E Yummy Web Series on Youtube, and Your Moments with Mommy consumer contest.
