Why wet cleaning is essential for homes with pets and children
Busy homes come with busy floors. From muddy paw prints to spilt juice, hard floors in family homes face constant challenges. While vacuuming is essential for removing dry debris, it’s wet cleaning that truly lifts the mess – and helps maintain a hygienic environment for everyone.
The Dyson WashG1™ is engineered to remove wet and dry dirt in one pass. It’s a powerful solution for homes with pets, children or both.
Wet messes need more than suction
Dry vacuuming is effective for dust, hair and crumbs. But when it comes to sticky spills, dried-on stains or pet accidents, only wet cleaning can break down and remove the mess. The Dyson WashG1™ uses two motorised microfibre rollers to lift liquids, debris, hair and stubborn stains – all in one go.
Always washes with clean water
Unlike traditional mops that reuse dirty water, the Dyson WashG1™ keeps clean and dirty water separate. Its 1-litre clean water tank continually provides clean water, while a separate 0.8-litre dirty water tank collects waste liquid for hygienic disposal. This ensures your floors are washed with clean water from start to finish – no cross-contamination.
Designed for everyday family life
From hallway footprints to kitchen spills, the Dyson WashG1™ is built for real homes. It glides effortlessly across sealed wood, tile, vinyl and laminate floors, reaching under furniture and into corners. Four cleaning modes let you adjust hydration levels to suit the task – from light spills to sticky liquids and dried-on messes.
Self-cleaning for next time
After use, the Dyson WashG1™ activates a full-system self-clean cycle. In just 140 seconds, clean water flushes through the rollers and internal components – ready for the next clean. It’s a hygienic solution that fits into your routine.
A cleaner clean for families
Whether it’s muddy paws, snack-time spills or everyday dust, the Dyson WashG1™ helps you stay on top of it all. It’s engineered to clean hard floors properly – so your home feels fresh, hygienic and ready for barefoot living.
