The results of a recently survey revealed that 60% of pet owners agree that shedding pet hair is a problem (59%) and they are spending more time and energy cleaning up pet hair than they want to, averaging about four hours a week. The new laundry system works to tackle pet hair problems with features like the Pet Pro that unleashes additional water and a deep rinse to activate the Pet Pro Filter, the industry's first [pet hair filter in the washer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vamoosh-hair-shield-fabric-conditioner). There's also an [extra large lint trap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/layer-brush) to help save time, reduce stress and cancel the need for repeat loads of laundry to be done. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pet Hair Removal Systems:** The development of specialized laundry systems with pet hair filters creates opportunities for businesses to market appliances that reduce pet hair and allergens in households. - **Pet-friendly Home Appliances:** Pet-optimized home appliances, like the Maytag Pet Pro System, cater to a growing market of pet owners who seek products designed specifically for their pets' hair and odor control needs. - **Smart Laundry Solutions:** Integrating technology, such as smart sensors and connectivity, into laundry systems can provide consumers with convenience and efficiency while also addressing specific needs, such as pet hair removal. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Household Appliance Manufacturing:** By designing and manufacturing specialized appliances for pet owners, household appliance manufacturers can tap into a growing market and improve the user experience for pet owners. - **Pet Grooming and Care:** Pet grooming and care businesses can expand their offerings by partnering with appliance manufacturers to offer pet-optimized laundry systems as part of their services. - **Smart Home Technology:** The integration of smart laundry solutions into smart home systems creates opportunities for companies to provide a more comprehensive and convenient experience for users looking to manage their households and pets efficiently. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pet Owner Laundry Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-smart-laundry-solutions.md) - [Powerful Household Appliance Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maytag.md) - [Multifunctional Pet Grooming Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-pet-grooming-system.md) - [Pet-Specific Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petsnowy-air-purifier.md) - [Innovative Pet Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cordzero-all-in-one-tower.md) - [Dual-Air Grooming Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grooming-vacuum.md) - [Pet-Conscious Vacuum Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xforce-flex-1560.md) - [Pet Owner Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airdog-p50-pet-air-purifier.md) - [Purifying Pet Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petair-pro.md)
