When it comes to everyday cleaning, it’s often the simplest tools that feel the most satisfying. With the new Dyson PencilWash™, wet cleaning is reimagined from the ground up—distilling powerful engineering into a form so slim and light, it feels almost like holding a pencil. Lightweight design meets uncompromising hygiene, handling everyday spills with precision, ease, and unmistakable innovation.
Designed for effortless maneuverability and hygienic performance, the PencilWash™ features an ultra-slim 38mm handle that sits naturally in the hand and stores with ease. Weighing just 2.2kg—only 380g in hand—it glides across floors with a gentle twist of the wrist, steering intuitively around furniture and into tight spaces. It lays nearly flat to reach under low furniture, hugging walls and skirting boards to ensure no corner is left untouched. The result is a complete, precise clean with a quick-drying finish that fits seamlessly into modern living.
At the heart of the PencilWash™ is Dyson’s philosophy of doing more with less. As John Churchill, Chief Technology Officer at Dyson, explains, the ambition was clear: make machines smaller and lighter while dramatically improving performance. PencilWash™ applies that thinking to wet cleaning, combining the simplicity of a broom with the precision and power of Dyson engineering.
Unlike conventional wet and dry cleaners, the Dyson PencilWash™ features a filter-free design. Without a dirty filter to trap debris, breed bacteria, or emit odours, it eliminates the unpleasant sludge and blockages that can compromise performance over time. Every clean remains powerful, hygienic, and refreshingly straightforward.
Performance is driven by a carefully engineered trio of hydration, agitation, and extraction. A high-density microfibre roller—featuring 64,000 filaments per square centimetre—spins rapidly to tackle both wet spills and stubborn stains in a single pass. With every rotation, dirty water and debris are continuously extracted, while an eight-point hydration system delivers a precise, consistent supply of fresh water. This ensures floors are always cleaned with clean water only—so your next clean is as hygienic as your first.
Two customizable hydration modes allow users to tailor water flow according to surface type and level of mess, from light spills to tougher stains. The 300ml clean water tank can cover up to 100m² of flooring, and with up to 30 minutes of runtime, it’s built to handle more of your home in one session—always leaving behind a fast-drying, streak-free finish.
For those seeking an added boost, the Dyson 02 Probiotic hard floor cleaning solution—sold separately—is specially formulated to complement Dyson wet and dry machines. Non-foaming and non-toxic, it works at a microscopic level to lift dirt and grime while remaining gentle on floors and safe for pets and children.
Available from May 7 at $449.99, the Dyson PencilWash™ is a new chapter in wet cleaning.
