Bacteria free laundry guaranteed by Intertek certificate

Let’s talk about a not-so-fun, yet very important wellbeing topic – bacteria, viruses and yeast. Bear with us, though! You will see that some of our washing machines have the perfect weapon to beat them. The weapon, which is 99,9% efficient – and has the infamous Intertek Certificate to prove it!

Germs are all around us. And sooner or later, they end up on us. We and our children bring them onto our home from the outside – by sitting on a bus or train seat, by picking hundreds of objects at work or in school, by playing outside and on the floor. No matter how much we try to protect our clothes from them when we wear them, they pick up germs which then survive on fabrics for some time and can not only spread, but cause illnesses and infections.

Unfortunately, some harmful germs and bacteria can survive in the washing machine, if the water is not 60°C or higher. They then cause cross-contamination of your garments and bacteria growth inside your machine. With many washing machines on the market, you had to either rely on higher washing temperatures (which use more energy and can damage your favorite delicate clothes too), on bleach or peroxide- or chlorine-based detergents (which can be harmful for the environment), and on occasionally doing an empty wash load with a sanitizer to get rid of the germs and bacteria that remain in your washer.

Gorenje washing machines with Intertek Certificate

Heureka – washing machines that are a wish come true and remove 99,9% of bacteria and yeast! Some Gorenje washing WaveActive machine models, for example the WS168LNST, come with the ExtraHygiene feature that uses steam and high-temperature washing. Your clothes come out perfectly clean and hygienic and your washing machine does not build up microbial coatings and related unpleasant odors. The ExtraHygiene feature has acquired the Intertek Certificate which proves it indeed eliminates an astonishing 99,9% of bacteria and yeast from your clothes.

What exactly is the Intertek Certificate?

Intertek is a renowned independent third-party laboratory that specifies in product testing and verification following international standard and regulations. Its certificate is a guarantee that the product or features have been tested for quality and performance. All the testing, inspection and audits behind the product claims are traceable, verifiable and repeatable, so that the highest level of transparency is assured and that the customers’ expectations of a product are met. You can be rest assured that the products with Intertek Certificate, like the Gorenje washing machines, have proof of quality and functionality.

Washing off the germs

If you are still worried that bacteria is lurking somewhere in your washing machine, some Gorenje washing machines also come with a feature that will ease your mind. The WNEI1P4ADS, for example, also features the unique SuperHygiene function which enables you to add a disinfectant to a specially constructed insert inside the dosing aid before the washing process. The disinfection of your laundry is performed at low temperatures and is thus suitable for delicate garments as well as for energy-saving programs. With a combination of disinfectant and washing programs, your laundry will be perfectly clean and disinfected.

Whether you consider yourself a “germaphobe” or not, germs always were and always will be a part of our lives. However, with Gorenje washing machines, they don’t have to be a part of your clothes … so, we’ll finish this article with the altered lyrics from a famous song: I got 99 problems, but 99,9% of bacteria ain’t one!
