If you share your home with furry friends, you know the struggle all too well—clothes and blankets coated in hair, odors that just won’t quit, and stains that seem impossible to beat.
The good news? You don’t have to fight laundry day alone. Speed Queen washers and dryers are built with legendary durability and consistent performance to tackle the messes pets leave behind, load after load.
With Pet Plus technology, you’ll get targeted cycles designed to pull out stubborn pet hair and neutralize odors, making your laundry routine faster, easier, and way less frustrating.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through why these machines are a game-changer for pet households—and how Speed Queen washers & dryers can help keep your home feeling fresher, cleaner, and more comfortable every day.
How Speed Queen Tackles Pet Hair and Odors
Pet hair can weave itself deep into fabrics, but speed queen pet hair removal cycles use high-speed agitation and extra rinses to pull it out from every layer.
The Pet Plus technology also includes Pet Plus cycles for bedding, toys, and pet garments to tackle messes from muddy paws to shed fur.
For tough smells, speed queen sanitization for pet odors uses high-heat and extended wash phases to neutralize bacteria and allergens. This makes laundry for pet owners far easier as it keeps blankets fresh and clothes allergen-free. Together, these features create a deep clean that restores fabrics and keeps pet spaces smelling clean longer.
Built Tough for the Messy Realities of Pet Life
Pet households can run more loads than the average home, from fur-covered blankets to muddy towels after outdoor play. A durable washing machine for pet owners must handle that extra workload without breaking down. Speed Queen uses commercial-grade components, like stainless steel drums and solid-mount suspension systems, built to withstand years of frequent, heavy use.
These heavy duty laundry machines for animals are engineered for reliability and reduce the need for costly repairs or replacements. Over time, their strength translates to lower ownership costs and fewer interruptions in your routine.
With speed queen washers and dryers, you’re investing in machines designed to outlast the messiest realities of pet life that keep laundry day running smoothly no matter how many times your furry friend tracks dirt inside.
Fabric Care and Efficiency for Pet Households
Keeping pet bedding and blankets fresh requires a balance of power and gentleness, and fabric care for pets is built into Speed Queen designs that have that technology. These machines use tailored wash actions that lift dirt and hair without damaging fibers, which extends the life of your pet’s favorite items.
Additionally, energy-efficient motors and water-saving rinse systems cut utility costs while still delivering a deep, thorough clean. Quiet operation features, including advanced suspension systems, make them ideal pet-friendly laundry solutions for households with noise-sensitive animals.
With speed queen washers and dryers, you get cleaning performance that’s tough on messes but gentle on fabrics, all while keeping costs and stress levels low.

Why Trust Urner's and Urner's Mattress?
Urner’s started on the back of a bicycle - yup! A bicycle! David E. Urner, a local high school teacher, who spent his summer months selling Wear Ever cookware off the back of a bicycle (think 100+ degrees). David teamed up with another local teacher, Errol P. Janes to create “a new type of store – one that would cater exclusively to providing an easier way of living for the women of Kern County”, and on September 19, 1919, Home Appliance Store was opened to the public. The store boasted a rather impressive selection of “modern” appliances, including a washing machine, a freezer, a gas range, an automatic dishwasher, and an assortment of small appliances. Since then, Urner’s has expanded selections to appliances, furniture, mattresses, and cabinetry!
For nearly one century, the Urner family and Urner’s business have both been an integral part of Bakersfield and Kern County, with contributions to community (Better Business Bureau, Sister City Projects, Bakersfield Symphony), charity (Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude’s Dream Home, House of Hope) and education (CSU Bakersfield, Ray Dezember Leadership Development Center.
