    How PetScrub Creates Value for Apartment Communities

    Questions property managers and leasing teams ask most about PetScrub.

    How much revenue can an apartment community earn from a PetScrub dog wash station?

    Revenue depends on how you integrate PetScrub into your property and how much resident traffic the machine gets. Properties that bundle it as a pet amenity fee, promote it at lease signing, and place it in a high-visibility spot consistently outperform those that treat it as a passive add-on. PetScrub can help you model an estimate based on your unit count and pet resident percentage.

    How does PetScrub differentiate a pet-friendly apartment from competing properties?

    PetScrub is the only self-serve dog wash station requiring no plumbing, no drainage, and no construction. Quick installation — no contractor, no permits — gives your property a premium pet amenity most competing buildings cannot offer without a major renovation budget.

    Does a PetScrub dog wash station help with resident retention?

    Yes. Pet-owning residents who use a dedicated on-site amenity week after week build a habit tied to your property. That routine becomes a real reason to stay at renewal time — especially when competing buildings don’t offer an equivalent. A station that residents rely on is a retention asset, not just a perk.

    Can PetScrub be offered as a pet package add-on at lease signing?

    Yes — and it converts well at signing. Offer PetScrub as a Pet Package upgrade alongside your existing pet fee or deposit. Residents who opt in are billed monthly through your existing portal, turning pet ownership from a liability into a recurring revenue line for the property.

    How much water does PetScrub use compared to a traditional apartment dog wash tub?

    PetScrub uses approximately 32 oz of water per session — about 93% less than a standard 5-gallon home bath. Lower utility costs for the property, less mess in your shared spaces, and a strong sustainability talking point for ESG-focused ownership groups.

    How fast can an apartment install PetScrub?

    Same day. No plumbing modifications, no permits, no contractor. PetScrub plugs into any standard 110V outlet and is ready for resident use the day it arrives. It holds enough water for approximately 100 washes per tank refill with no construction downtime.

    What upkeep does apartment staff need to do for a PetScrub machine?

    Minimal. Staff responsibilities are limited to refilling the water tank periodically and maintaining basic hygiene of the brush attachments and the surrounding dog wash area. PetScrub handles all equipment maintenance, supplies, and remote support — no specialized training or grooming knowledge required.
