Mumbai, 08 June 2021: Godrej & Boyce, the flagship company of the Godrej Group’s business, Godrej Appliances, a 63-year young Indian consumer durables manufacturer, has always strived to offer relevant technologies suited to Indian consumer needs. During this pandemic, the brand again rises to the occasion to offer India’s first range of Washing Machines providing more than 99.99% disinfection against Covid-19 Virus. These Godrej 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 60°C and Eon Allure Classic 60°C) to Front Load (Eon Allergy Protect) Machines.
