Why PetScrub Is Different
No Soak, No Standing Water
PetScrub uses Air-Through-Solution Technology that pushes clean solution through the coat using air pressure, reaching the skin and back out. There is no soaking, no puddles, and no wet dogs dripping through your hallways and lobbies. For a multi-family property, this means a cleaner amenity space and a better experience for all residents.
Reduces Clogged Drains and Maintenance Costs
Every PetScrub session starts with a full deshed, removing loose fur at the station before it ends up in your hallways, carpets, resident units, and most critically, your building plumbing. Clogged drains from pet hair are one of the most common and costly maintenance issues in pet-friendly buildings. PetScrub reduces that problem at the source, lowering your long-term maintenance costs.
Complete in About 10 Minutes
The full Deshed, Dry, and Clean process takes approximately 10 minutes. Residents can wash their dog quickly without an appointment, at any hour. The 24/7 availability means the amenity serves residents on their schedule, not yours.
Built for Double-Coat Dogs
Breeds like Golden Retrievers, Huskies, German Shepherds, and Australian Shepherds have thick double coats that shed heavily and trap dirt. PetScrub air-through-solution technology penetrates these dense coats to remove loose undercoat fur that would otherwise end up throughout your building. For property managers, this means less fur in common areas, fewer maintenance calls, and happier residents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does PetScrub partner with apartment complexes?
Yes. PetScrub offers an exclusive partnership program designed specifically for multi-family housing communities with 300 or more units. The partnership model is tailored to each property and includes installation, maintenance, and ongoing support. Contact a PetScrub sales representative to learn if your complex qualifies.
Does a PetScrub station help reduce clogged drains in apartments?
Yes. Every PetScrub session begins with a full deshedding step that removes loose fur at the station, before it enters your building. Pet hair in drains is one of the most common and costly maintenance issues in pet-friendly properties. By capturing loose fur during the wash process, PetScrub significantly reduces the amount of hair entering your plumbing system, lowering maintenance costs over time.
Does a dog wash station need plumbing in an apartment building?
No dedicated plumbing is required. PetScrub can connect to an existing water line or run entirely on its internal water supply, which holds enough for approximately 100 washes. This gives property managers flexibility in placement, whether in a pet spa room, amenity area, parking structure, or outdoor space.
How does PetScrub work as a pet amenity for residents?
PetScrub is available to residents 24/7. The entire process, Deshed, Dry, and Clean, is managed through the resident phone. There is no cash handling, no staff required, and no appointment needed. Residents simply walk up, start a session, and have their dog clean in approximately 10 minutes. The no-soak design means no standing water and no mess left behind in the amenity space.
What size is a PetScrub station?
PetScrub stations measure 5ft x 3ft x 6ft, a compact footprint that fits in amenity rooms, pet spas, parking garages, or outdoor common areas. The station is self-contained and does not require dedicated plumbing, giving property managers maximum flexibility in placement.
How does a dog wash station improve resident retention?
Pet amenities are consistently ranked among the top factors pet-owning residents consider when choosing and staying at a property. A PetScrub station provides a premium, 24/7 pet care amenity that differentiates your property from competitors. The deshedding benefit also reduces pet-related maintenance issues throughout the building, creating a cleaner living environment for all residents.
What PetScrub Customers Say
Real experiences from pet owners and business operators
“PetScrub keeps Hopong clean before he jumps on the bed at night, and I love the smell of the shampoo when we cuddle”
Amanda Hasting“We have 3 dogs that fight over the attention when we start PetScrubbing them… it drastically cut back on our grooming trips and helped with hair in the house.”
Jim Anderson“My dog hates baths, and PetScrub was much easier than cleaning him with a regular bath. I can quickly clean him anytime — like after a walk. It is super convenient, and he likes it.”
