Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a wet floor cleaner and vacuum?

A standard vacuum is only suitable for picking up dry debris, while a Dyson wet floor cleaner can collect both wet and dry waste – all in one machine.

How is a wet floor cleaner different to a mop?

A traditional floor mop and bucket has several limitations including a bulky design and unhygienic water. Wet floor cleaners separate dirt from the water, so you’re washing hard floors with clean water from start to finish.

Do I need to vacuum before using a wet floor cleaner?

If using a Dyson V15s Detect Submarine™ Complete wet and dry floor cleaner, you will need to vacuum hard floors using the Digital Motorbar™ cleaner head then switch to the Submarine™ Wet Roller head to wash your floors. No prior vacuuming is required for hard floors when using the Dyson WashG1™.

How does a wet floor cleaner work?

Dyson’s dedicated hard floor cleaners optimise hydration, absorption and extraction technology to pick up wet and dry debris simultaneously – eliminating the need for pre-vacuuming.

Is the WashG1 wet cleaner also a steam mop?

No, the Dyson WashG1™ is not a steam mop and does not reflect the same process. This is Dyson’s first wet floor cleaner design, which picks up both wet and dry debris. The WashG1™ has two rollers for even water application – however the water is not heated and does not produce vapour as a steam mop would. Often it is thought that hot water helps to kill bacteria but the water used when wet cleaning is normally not hot enough to effectively kill bacteria. Dyson WashG1™ uses high density microfibre to agitate stains and the extraction technology removes dirty water rather than smearing it across the floor. You can use water up to 35° Celsius in the clean water tank of the Dyson WashG1™.
