Vamoosh Pet Hair Dissolver Guide: How It Works and Why Kiwi Homes Love It

If you’re a proud pet parent in New Zealand, chances are you’ve battled stubborn pet hair on your pet’s bedding and in your washing machine. That’s where Vamoosh Pet Hair Dissolver comes in. This clever laundry additive is designed to dissolve pet hair during the wash, leaving bedding clean and helping keep your machine free from fur. We get pet, and we get just how game changing this can be in everyday Kiwi homes.
Vamoosh is the world’s first pet hair remover created to be used inside the washing machine. It uses active oxygen technology to break down the keratin proteins in hair, meaning the strands dissolve rather than cling to fabric or collect inside filters.

How Does Vamoosh Work?

Vamoosh is simple to use. Each box contains water soluble sachets. To use, pour a sachet directly into the washing machine dispenser drawer, add your usual detergent and load the pet bedding. Make sure you don’t overfill your machine as the formula needs space to work properly.
Run the longest, hottest cycle available between 85 and 95 degrees Celsius. These high temperatures are essential because they activate the formula that dissolves the hair. If your machine does not reach 85 to 95 degrees, Vamoosh will not work effectively.
This process helps break down embedded fur so it washes away instead of clinging to the bedding, the drum or other laundry. It is especially handy for long haired breeds or heavy shedders like Golden Retrievers, Huskies or Ragdolls.
 

Benefits Of Using Vamoosh

Vamoosh offers a long list of helpful benefits for busy pet households:

• Dissolves pet hair during the wash using active oxygen.
• Leaves no chemical residue and contains zero chlorine bleach.
• Helps eliminate odours from pet bedding.
• Leaves your washing machine clean and free from hair.
• Helps keep bedding hygienically clean.
• Simple sachets make it easy and mess free to use.

It is ideal for washing dog beds, cat beds, pet towels and grooming cloths. You can even use it on human bedding, as long as it is 100 percent white cotton and can safely handle a very hot wash between 85 and 95 degrees.

Where Can You Use Vamoosh?

Vamoosh can be used on:

• Machine washable pet beds.
• Pet blankets and throws.
• Pet towels and grooming cloths.
• Human bedding that is 100 percent white cotton and can withstand high heat.

You can also use Vamoosh on an empty cycle to remove hair build up inside the washing machine and filter.
Avoid using Vamoosh on items made from wool, silk or leather, as these materials are not suitable for high temperature cycles.

Is It Safe For Pets And Washing Machines?

Yes. Vamoosh is safe for use on pet bedding because it leaves no chemical residue and does not contain enzymes that can irritate sensitive skin. It contains zero chlorine bleach and is safe for households with septic tank systems.
It is also gentle on washing machines. By helping dissolve hair rather than letting it collect in the drum or filters, it can support your machine’s performance over time. For best results, ensure you don't overload the drum and always follow the recommended temperature range.

Pair With Other Grooming Essentials

While Vamoosh makes clean-up easier, it’s also worth reducing shedding at the source. Pair it with regular brushing using dog grooming brushes or cat combs to help keep fur in check. You can also support skin and coat health from the inside out with quality skin and coat supplements.
