Haier Japan Sales Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, President: Du Jingguo) signed a comprehensive partnership agreement for the promotion of regional revitalization with Nishikawa Town, Yamagata Prefecture, on April 22, 2026.
■ About the Comprehensive Partnership Agreement
Haier Japan Sales Co., Ltd. and Nishikawa Town, Yamagata Prefecture, will strengthen their mutual cooperation to address various regional issues such as welfare, environment, disaster prevention, and community development. The agreement aims to promote regional revitalization in Nishikawa Town, foster further development of the local community, and ensure prompt and smooth supply of goods in times of disaster. In addition, the company will donate multiple suction floor wiping vacuum cleaners "MIZUKI" (JC-M1A) and hot water steam models of the fabric water-washing vacuum cleaner "MIZUKI nu-no" (JC-RPS1A) to several childcare facilities. By doing so, they aim to improve operational efficiency and environmental hygiene management in nurseries, ensuring that children can spend their time in a sanitary environment while also improving working conditions for childcare workers and promoting childcare support in Nishikawa Town.
Furthermore, they will donate a drum-type washing machine "AITO (JW-TD120SA)" and a heat-pump clothing care dryer "FUWATO (JZ-K90A)" to the Nishikawa Town Hospital. This will streamline the washing and drying of linens, contributing to the reduction of workloads for medical professionals, improving sanitary conditions, and enhancing the quality of the regional medical system.
In the future, they also plan to engage in product development that incorporates on-site feedback through demonstration experiments of home appliances at exchange base facilities.
■ About the Suction Floor Wiping Vacuum Cleaner "MIZUKI" (JC-M1A)
This product was developed to meet customer needs regarding floor cleaning, such as "I mind the stickiness and roughness when walking barefoot," "I want to clean oil stains, sand, and pollen easily," "I want to wet mop, but the physical strain on my back and legs is too great," and "Wet mopping is tiring because I have to wipe with strong force."
The suction floor wiping vacuum cleaner "MIZUKI" (JC-M1A) is a stick cleaner equipped with "Multi-Powerful Suction" that performs wet and dry wiping while sucking up dirt, solving these needs all at once. This product was jointly developed with Haruko Niitsu, who belongs to Japan Airport Terminal Co., Ltd. Utilizing the experience and skills of Ms. Niitsu, who has supported Haneda Airport—praised as the "cleanest airport in the world"—as a cleaning professional for many years, this stick cleaner cleans fine dust that previous vacuum cleaners couldn't pick up and hardened dirt that dry wiping couldn't remove. It received an award in the Goods/Services category at the "16th Parenting Awards" and continues to receive high praise from the market.
■ About the Hot Water Steam Model (JC-RPS1A) of the Fabric Water-Washing Vacuum Cleaner "MIZUKI nu-no"
Born as the second installment of the "MIZUKI" series, this is a fabric-washing cleaner that washes un-washable fabrics with water. Receiving many voices saying, "I wanted to wash the fabric items around me," it was developed under the concept of "Let's wash fabrics more." It is a new rinse cleaner that easily and conveniently maintains fabric items that couldn't fit in a washing machine, such as sofas and car seats, or carpets and strollers that are difficult to remove, carry, and wash.
This product sprays water from the tank through a nozzle to float the dirt soaked into fabric products. The lifted dirt is then scraped out by a brush and sucked up with a force of up to 15,000Pa, thoroughly cleaning fabrics from the surface to deep within the fibers—including sofas, carpets, strollers, and car seats that were previously difficult to wash.
The hot water steam model (JC-RPS1A) is equipped with a "60°C Hot Water Mode" that heats room-temperature water to 60°C using an internal heater to wash away oil-soluble dirt that is hard to remove at room temperature. It also features a "Steam Mode" that heats water to 100°C and sprays it as high-temperature steam from the nozzle, deodorizing approximately 99% of odors from tobacco, food, and pet urine (*1) and demonstrating an approximate 99% mite-killing effect (*2).
■ About the Drum-Type Washing Machine "AITO" (JW-TD120SA)
The simple drum-type washing machine "AITO" was developed in response to feedback about washer-dryers, such as "drying takes too long and is inefficient" and "the main unit is too large, making placement difficult."
By intentionally omitting the drying function to keep prices down, it is a new standard model that enhances performance specialized for washing. While accommodating bulk washing with a large 12.0kg capacity, its compact design allows it to be installed in limited spaces. It features a "Hot Water Wash" function where the temperature can be selected.
