TheseGodrej Washing Machines can neutralize more than 99.99% Covid-19 Virus in just 15-20 minutes.

The ongoing pandemic has caused a dramatic shift in Indian consumer behavior when it comes to the priority accorded to safety and hygiene. Consumers are investing time and effort to protect themselves from the Covid-19 virus. Washing needs have increased as consumers are forced to wash clothes more often – each time they step back home. With the increasing number of Covid cases in many parts of the country, consumers are paying more attention to preventive measures and rightly so.
This unique feature of more than 99.99% Covid disinfection is being offered by Godrej across segments – from semi-automatic (Edge Digi) to Top Loading (Eon Allure Germshield, Eon Audra Germshield and Eon Allure Classic) to Front Load (Eon Allergy Protect) Machines.
All these models have an in-built heater mode with up to 60-degree Celsius Hot Wash coupled with a smart algorithm which together deliver strong germ protection.
