When Automation Isn’t Enough
Even with the best smart washer, some fur and mess will slip through. That’s when it helps to add extra tools to your routine:
Laundry Aids That Catch Fur
Fur-grabbing laundry balls and mesh bags can trap loose hair before it clogs your machine or sticks to clothes.
Separate the Messy Stuff
Wash dog beds, blankets, and heavily furred towels separately from everyday laundry. It keeps hair from spreading to your clean clothes.
Groom Before Laundry Day
Brushing your dog regularly reduces shedding at the source. Less fur in the coat = less fur in the washer.
Vacuum Boost
A quick pass with a cordless vacuum on bedding or blankets before washing cuts down how much hair makes it into the drum.
Pro Tip: Even with automation, prevention always beats cure. A few minutes with a brush or vacuum saves hours of re-washing.
Final Thoughts: Smarter Laundry, Happier Pet Parents
Laundry with pets will never be spotless, but it doesn’t have to feel endless. By leaning on washers with automated cycles and pet-friendly features, you can save time, reduce mess, and finally keep fur from taking over your laundry room.
Whether it’s Whirlpool’s Pet Pro filtering out clumps of hair, LG’s TurboWash steaming away odors, Samsung’s quick cycles for daily loads, or Maytag’s Deep Fill tackling bulky dog beds—automation makes all the difference.
Pair those features with smart habits—like scheduling pet-only loads, pre-tumbling with dryer balls, and grooming before wash day—and you’ll spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying life with your pup.
