Maytag’s Pet Solutions for Laundry
Do you have a pet at home, and do you spend hours on lint rolling? Pet hair can be extremely difficult to remove, especially if you have a busy schedule. That’s why Maytag innovated the latest technology on pet solutions for laundry designed for pet lovers and owners. Maytag launched the industry’s first Pet Pro System in 2022 to ease the pet owners’ minds and to bring convenience, functionality and premium performance for pet owners. The washer with a built-in pet pro filter removes 5x more pet hair while the XL lint trap in the dryer removes loads of pet hair. This is a powerful innovation for pet owners.
OnePoll conducted a study of 2,000 American dog-owners to examine different ways of how pet owners show their love to their pets and this research was commissioned by pet food company JustFoodForDogs as part of their PR and media campaign for National Love Your Pet Day. The researched studied and asked the pet owners to reveal how much they love their pets and how much time, money, efforts and energy they put into them. On average, survey participants said they take over 400 pictures of their pets every year and a third of their photos are the photos of their pets than of their children or partners. 59% of the participants agreed that pets are adorable but cleaning up after their fur is not. Nearly 60% agreed that cleaning up pet hair is a problem in their daily lives. 57% said they are spending about four hours a week to clean up after their pet’s hair.
The Maytag Pet Pro System works as the excellent laundry solution to ease the stress from the pet owners and to reduce the burden with innovative technology. The Pet Pro option rinses out additional water and provides a deep rinse to activate the pet pro filter which is the industry’s first pet hair filter in the washer. The Maytag pet pro washer removes pet hair five times more than ordinary laundry machines. The dryer lifts and traps load of pet hair with an XL lint trap. For both front load and top load dryers, you can choose between electric or gas as it fits your laundry needs.
Through the survey, Maytag found that 53% of pet parents’ current laundry routine requires multiple steps with nearly 50% going to a laundromat to avoid using their own machines at home. The new technology eliminates the need to go to laundromat or doing various steps which can save a lot of money, time and energy so you can spend more quality time together with your pet.
“We know people love their dogs and cats, but they don’t love all the pet hair,” said Sarah Armstrong, Integrated Brand Manager for Maytag Laundry, in the PR Newswire. “We also know our consumers have different style preferences and laundry needs. By offering the Pet Pro technology across our full laundry portfolio, Maytag now provides multiple solutions for any and all pet owners in the never-ending fight against pet hair.”
The Maytag Pet Pro System is available in three color options: midnight steel blue (only for smart front load), white and volcano black finish and it has special unique features that will make it worthwhile. The Maytag smart front load washer (MFW7020R) and dryer (MED7020R) are available in the new color, midnight steel blue.

Top Load Washer
The Pet Pro option in the top load washer unleashes additional water and provides a deep rinse to activate the pet pro filter which lifts and traps hair from clothes inside the filter. The filter is easy to use, and you can easily clean the filter. Once the pet hair is removed, the hair is caught in the built-in pet pro filter for a cleaner result. The deep fill option in the top load washer allows extra water rinsing to saturate loads, loosen stains and soak away tough messes. It also removes odor from the clothes and brings you a fresher laundry for your home. On Homery, the top load washer in white is $748.00 and in volcano black is $828.00.
There is a built-in water faucet which rinses and soaks clothes right in the washer without any extra steps needed. After three hours, the water drains and leaves clothes ready for the wash cycle. If you are in a rush or just need a quick cycle, the quick wash cycle is for you. The quick wash cycle uses extra high spin speeds and cleans small, lightly soiled loads in 30 minutes. The advanced vibration control reduces vibration to keep disruptive noises to a minimum load after load. The slow-close glass lid keeps track of the action inside the washer, offers a clear view of laundry and closes softly without slamming.
The auto sensing adjusts the water levels for each load to provide efficient and thorough cleaning. The 4.7 cu. ft. capacity tackles large loads and you can wash up to 19 towels at once which can bring spacious capacity, convenience and functionality. The extra rinse options ensure the messes and detergent are thoroughly rinsed away and you can add it to the heavily soiled loads with fabric softener to achieve an optimal clean. The wrinkle control cycle helps prevent wrinkles with warm water and low spin speeds. To clean the inside of your washer, you can run the affresh® cycle every 30 washes with an affresh® washing machine cleaner tablet or liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean. The stainless-steel wash basket is designed for years of washes and built with sturdy materials to last for years to come. The basket is also covered by their 10-year limited parts warranty.
