- Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene is a new wet floor cleaner, joining the WashG1
- It’s one of the most lightweight wet cleaners on the market
- There are no filters or dirty water pipes, and it’s self-drying for minimal maintenance
Wet floor cleaners are a major effort-saver when it comes to the mopping part, but sometimes the appliance maintenance is demanding and disgusting enough to barely make it worthwhile – and Dyson is addressing the issue with its new wet cleaner.
The Clean+Wash Hygiene is an upgraded sister model to the Dyson WashG1, and it improves on that gadget in three main ways, two of which tackle the maintenance side of things so there’s less messy hands-on time required from you. Let’s take a closer look…
1. There’s no filter or tubing to clean
For the Clean+Wash Hygiene, the dirty water tank is integrated completely into the floorhead itself. There’s no filter, nor any tubing for the gunky water to slowly clog up. Keeping the internal mechanisms clean and free-flowing is one of the most significant and fiddliest upkeep jobs associated with wet-dry vacuums, and Dyson has basically completely removed them here.
The design of the WashG1 does address this issue: integrated into the floorhead is a filter to collect solid debris, so it doesn’t need to make its way through any tubing, and the dirty water tank is large and smooth on the inside, making it easy to get your hand in and clean it properly as required. But this new setup looks more hands-off still – there’s no filter to clean at all.
Within the Dyson lineup, the setup looks more similar to the self-contained mopping floorhead included with the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine. (I just hope it doesn’t have the same spillage issue we found with that design.)
2. It’s ultra-lightweight
Some of the best wet and dry vacuums on the market are so heavy and unwieldy that using them is a major workout. The WashG1 was relatively lightweight, but the Clean+Wash Hygiene is even more so – in fact, Dyson says it’s the lightest option on the market (using data from the top three dedicated floor washer models from each of the top five brands globally), coming in at just 8.42lbs / 3.82kg.
Part of the weight saving is likely because this new model – like the WashG1 – doesn’t have any suction. Instead, it just uses water and agitation to clear dirt and spillages.
The Clean+Wash Hygiene can also lie completely flat to the ground, for cleaning under low furniture. In this mode, it’s just 4.44 inches / 11.3cm tall.
3. It cleans and dries it own roller
The WashG1 came with a self-wash mode that ran clean water through the system and over the roller. The Clean+Wash Hygiene can do that too, but can also dry the roller with hot air, saving you from having to detach it and place it out somewhere after each clean.
This feature puts it more in line with the wider market – although in truth it’s still a little behind the competition. I’m increasingly seeing self-clean modes that use hot water to cut through grease. However, the Clean+Wash Hygiene system will take on the hard work out of the mop maintenance for you.
What else is new?
There are other, smaller improvements that also look promising. As with the WashG1, the roller is fed with fresh water as it makes its way around, while the dirty stuff is continually siphoned off. The roller here has been upgraded, though – it’s more densely packed with fibers to make it more absorbent, and Dyson has added nylon bristles for extra scrubbing power.
Again you’ve got three hydration settings plus a Boost mode that delivers extra water. However, Dyson has tweaked the delivery to enable the Clean+Wash Hygiene to clean a 20% larger space than its predecessor, despite having a smaller clean water tank (750ml versus 1L).
Plus, it can now be used with Dyson’s on cleaning fluid, whereas previously the recommendation was water only. The new ‘Dyson 02 Probiotic’ is a non-foaming, non-toxic hard floor cleaning solution that’s specially formulated to work with the Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene.
Price & availability
The Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene is already on sale in the UK at a list price of £429.99. It’s due to go on sale in the US and in Australia in 2026, but I don’t have any specifics or pricing yet. I have one on its way to me, and will update you with my thoughts when the full review embargo lifts in early February.
It was first unveiled amid a flurry of product announcements in September 2025. I’ve already reviewed the Dyson V16 Piston Animal flagship vacuum and the Dyson V8 Cyclone affordable stick vacuum, and I have the Dyson PencilVac in my reviewing pile alongside the Spot+Scrub AI robot vacuum, Dyson’s surprise new robot vacuum.
