How Does the Maytag Pet Pro Washer Work?
The Maytag Pet Pro washer stands out from conventional washing machines thanks to its innovative Pet Pro Filter technology. Designed specifically for pet owners, this washer transforms the laundry process by effectively removing pet hair from fabrics without damaging delicate materials. Here's how it works:
Pet Pro Wash Option: A Multi-Stage Innovation
When users select the Pet Pro wash option, a series of advanced cleaning techniques ensure optimal performance:
- Enhanced Agitation Patterns: The washer uses precise agitation that gently loosens pet hair from fabric fibers while protecting delicate garments.
- Optimized Wash Basket Design: The unique basket design creates turbulent water flows, lifting embedded pet hair off clothing surfaces for a deeper clean.
The Pet Pro Filter in Action
The Pet Pro Filter is the heart of this technology, designed to handle even heavy loads of pet hair. It works by capturing pet hair as it circulates through the wash water, stopping it from redepositing on clothes or clogging the drain system. It maintains high wash performance, even with larger amounts of shedding.
Deep Rinse Cycle for Complete Hair Removal
After loosening and filtering out fur, the washer employs a deep rinse cycle for thorough cleaning:
- Additional Water Volume: This phase uses more water to create strong currents that carry away any remaining fur.
- Continuous Filtration: The Pet Pro Filter continues to trap larger clumps of hair during the rinse.
Why Pet Owners Love It
Research shows the Maytag Pet Pro washer removes up to five times more pet hair than standard washing machines. Pet owners notice less hair transfer between clothes, reduced lint buildup in dryers, and cleaner, fresher-looking fabrics, even for heavy-shedding households.
The Maytag Pet Pro Washer is a game-changer for pet owners, offering a laundry solution that meets the challenges of life with furry friends.

Other Features of the Maytag Pet Pro Washer
Okay, so the Pet Pro system itself is a total game-changer for pet hair, right? But what if the Maytag Pet Pro washer doesn't stop there? It's like they thought of everything a pet parent battles on laundry day. These other features aren't just add-ons; they're essential tools that work seamlessly with the main event to tackle all the unique challenges of a pet-filled home.
Let's dive into how it elevates your laundry game:
- Deep Fill Option: Ever try washing a muddy dog bed or a blanket covered in Fido's fur only to realize there isn't enough water to properly rinse it? That's where Deep Fill comes in! This option adds extra water, ensuring bulky, heavily soiled items get fully saturated. It's not just about hair; it helps loosen mud, dirt, and all the outdoor debris adventurous pets track in. No more feeling like your laundry is just getting swirled in its own grime.
- Built-in Water Faucet: This feature is a lifesaver! Instead of lugging stained items to the utility sink or bathroom to pre-treat, you can do it right in the washer drum. Muddy paw prints? Accident-stained blankets? Stubborn odors? Just rinse or soak them directly. Plus, it's smart enough to automatically drain the water after three hours, so your items are ready for the wash cycle whenever you are. Talk about convenience designed for real life!
- Advanced Temperature Control: Furry friends come with a variety of laundry needs. Sometimes you need a super hot cycle to sanitize heavily soiled pet items (think muddy harnesses or accident clean-ups). Other times, you're washing delicate pet sweaters or blankets that need a gentle, cool water touch. This Maytag Pet Pro washing machine handles both, ensuring everything gets the right care without compromising effectiveness.
- Smart Features & Cycle Customization: Who wants to reprogram their washer every time? With the ability to save your favorite settings, you can quickly switch between a daily load of clothes with light hair and that weekly deep clean for the pet bedding. It's about optimizing your wash without overthinking it.
And for those wondering about the full package, the Maytag washer and dryer pet pro combination truly shines. Because the washer is so effective at hair removal, your dryer can focus on simply drying. This means less lint trap frustration and more efficient drying cycles – a win-win for everyone (especially your electricity bill!).

The agitator is designed to provide a deep cleaning action that's tough enough to dislodge embedded hair, yet surprisingly gentle on your fabrics. It’s the perfect balance of power and care.

- Robust Construction: A machine that works this hard needs to be built to last. Maytag has a reputation for durability, and this model is no exception. It's constructed with commercial-grade components, ensuring reliable performance load after heavy-duty load.
