Dunking our clothes into the laundry basket, leaving
the dishes by the sink, not making our bed and certainly not cooking – don’t we
miss the pre-COVID times where our house-helps had pampered us, and how!
However, this godforsaken pandemic had other plans –
and now, much like Monica from Friends, we’re cleaning, cleaning and then
cleaning some more. Being a millennial living away from home, one wise thing I
did recently was to order a multi-tasking washing machine from Panasonic – and
I’d call it the most useful purchase I’ve made all year. Here’s how it has made
the never-ending household chores seem simpler:

What’s one household chore that goes on and on and
never ends? Yes, it’s doing the dishes. Every single time I enter the kitchen,
there’s a pile of new dishes to wash. And while we fold our sleeves and scrub
with dedication, the messy splashes of soap and water make way to our clothes –
which then land in the laundry basket. And that means you have to do the laundry
too now!
That was the case at least until I bought the
Panasonic Built-In-Heater washing machine. Thanks to its flexible two-way
washing technology that comes with a built-in water heater, I am more relieved
than ever knowing my clothes will get just the warm temperature wash they need!

received this machine within 2 days of ordering it on Amazon, and setting it up
at home was child’s play!

Remember the frantic disinfecting mode we get into
after returning from the outdoors? While it’s absolutely necessary, here are
some smart tips you can follow to worry less, work more. For starters, don’t
delay the laundry. As soon as you’re back, wash the clothes you were wearing on
priority. Panasonic’s latest range of washing machines perform this task to the
T. It’s built-in heater gives a hygienic hot wash killing 99.9% of the germs.
Moreover, its active foam system provides a gentle
hand-wash mechanism – giving us well-washed linen always. Personally, this high-temperature hero is a big relief in these testing times. With increasing
headlines about hygiene and virus concerns, this machine is just the household
companion I needed.

The pandemic has turned us all into amateur chefs,
right? People who could barely toss an omelette are now making delish biryani.
Well, cooking calms the mind and feeds our soul, but sometimes it also gets our
clothes super messy. Yes, I’m talking about the unexpected splash of tomato puree
or splatter of oil.
Luckily for me, the Panasonic machine is blessed
with Indian sensibilities and comes with a unique StainMaster+ which allows the
machine to tackle the toughest of stains!

Packed with Econavi Technology,
this machine also helps save 20% water and up to 20% electricity consumption and
re-uses water up to 23% by detecting wash load volume and water temperature. Am

In addition to this, there’s
brooming, mopping, cleaning the fans, watering the plants, changing the sheets,
and a string of other tasks on the to-do list. Here’s a pro tip: start waking
up an hour before you usually do and get your home ready for a productive day!
Honestly, all the stress from a
pandemic, household chores and work from home can get a little overwhelming.
But with the right equipment and time management skills, this too shall pass.
