Mopping ranks as the most disliked chore, particularly in humid climates where discomfort builds before the task even begins. Dyson’s new Clean+Wash Hygiene aims to simplify the process by integrating cleaning into daily routines without extra effort.
One Machine, Two Jobs
The Clean+Wash Hygiene merges vacuuming and mopping into a single step. Earlier hybrid models dragged a damp cloth across floors, but this version actively washes surfaces while managing water. A built-in separation system ensures each swipe uses fresh water, which proves useful in busy areas like kitchens where dirt accumulates fast.
Weighing 3.8 kg, it’s lighter than Dyson’s prior WashG1 model. The battery lasts up to 70 minutes, though runtime varies by mode. While not as compact as a handheld vacuum, its design avoids the bulk of traditional mops. For those with pets or small living spaces, the convenience may justify the size.
Post-Cleaning Convenience
The device stands out after use. Instead of rinsing a mop or removing tangled hair, the Clean+Wash Hygiene runs a self-cleaning cycle. Rollers flush themselves, and debris collects separately. In humid regions like Singapore, where tools develop odors quickly, this feature reduces maintenance.
Dyson removed traditional filters to minimize smells. The approach isn’t flawless—skipping maintenance could leave residue—but it reduces hands-on work. For frequent cleaners, this means less time spent on upkeep.
As a new pet owner, the experience feels simple and fuss-free, and that sense of everyday cleanliness brings a noticeable sense of delight.

Comparison to Existing Models
Dyson already offers two wet-cleaning options: the V12s Detect Slim Submarine, which prioritizes vacuuming with occasional mopping, and the WashG1, a dedicated wet cleaner. The Clean+Wash Hygiene bridges these, improving on their strengths.
The changes are small but meaningful. The lighter weight improves maneuverability, and debris separation works more reliably. It doesn’t introduce new features, just refinements. For regular users, that may be sufficient.
The main drawback is likely the cost. Dyson hasn’t announced pricing, but similar models suggest a high price tag. Renters or occasional cleaners may hesitate, while homeowners who clean daily might see value in the investment.
The Clean+Wash Hygiene targets one specific problem: reducing the hassle of mopping. Whether it’s worth the expense depends on how much someone dislikes the task.
It’s currently sold through Dyson’s official channels, with pricing and availability details coming soon. For those looking to simplify kitchen cleanup, a non-toxic chopping board could complement the effort.
