At Speed Queen, we build consumer laundry products expertly engineered to deliver long-lasting commercial performance and tested to ensure ultimate durability. However, we also know pet owners in particular are looking for machines that offer features that tackle the specific fabric care demands that tag along with our furry friends.
We get it, you love your pet, but that doesn’t mean you always want to wear their hair (or smell) on your sleeve. That’s why we manufacture products like the FF7, a front load washer that has it all. Quiet operation? Yup. Fast cycle times? Absolutely. Efficient performance? Of course. Paired dryer for pet hair removal? You bet.
But what about a washer / dryer set that can go beyond pet hair removal—one that can help stop fleas that have come in contact with your clothing, linen, and blankets? The FF7 and DF7 have you covered.
The FF7: Designed to meet the needs of pet owners
What makes the FF7 special is its game-changing Pet Plus™ Flea Cycle. For pet owners, any bit of support in the fight against fleas is beneficial. For example, if you bring home a blanket from the dog groomer and are worried it might have fleas, you can use this cycle to get rid of the fleas on the blanket before they multiply.
When used together with a flea comb, bathing with flea shampoo, and regular household vacuuming, this cycle is effective in helping get rid of the buggers, especially as a preventative measure against future infestations. That said, if you have an infestation in your house, the cycle cannot fully solve the infestation issue, but it can help prevent or slow the spread on items you put in the wash.
To address the larger issue, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), it’s all about sanitation. They recommend “washing bedding, rugs, and pet bedding, and thoroughly vacuuming and sweeping floors and carpeted areas and along the edges of walls.” Speed Queen FF7 and DF7 can definitely help with washing the bedding and other articles part of the plan!
NEW WASHER FEATURE: Pet Plus™ Flea Cycle
- An industry-exclusive cycle that has been designed and tested as a tool in fighting fleas
- Intended to be a part of a whole-house regimen
- Independently verified to kill fleas found as adults, larvae and eggs on launderable items*
The cycle parameters, including temperature (set to hot), soil, and spin are preset and cannot be changed. This is done as it’s the most effective parameter to stop fleas before they spread. However, results may vary depending on if your hot water supply can reach a minimum of 120 F°, if there isn’t an average load, and if the cycle is interrupted.
Stop fleas in their tracks and keep your household clean with the FF7, tested and verified to make your pet ownership experience a little more carefree—and flea free.
* The Pet Plus™ Flea Cycle was independently tested and verified to kill fleas using adult, larvae and egg life stages of Cat Flea [Ctenocephalides felis] on 9 lb AHAM loads. Individual results may vary.
