Over 3.2 Million Pets in Taiwan! LG Reveals 3 Major Cleaning Blind Spots for Pet-Inclusive Households – From Floors and Air to Fabrics, Comprehensive Protection for Comfortable Co-Living

According to data from Taiwan's Council of Agriculture, the number of household dogs and cats in Taiwan will exceed 3.2 million by 2025, indicating that pets have become essential family members and human-pet cohabitation has become the new norm. However, sharing living spaces with pets brings new cleaning challenges. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology notes that pet dander, saliva, and other substances can trigger allergic reactions in humans, while pet hair may carry environmental allergens and disperse them into the air, furniture, and textiles.

LG Electronics (LG), a global provider of smart life solutions, addresses the three major cleaning blind spots in pet-inclusive homes—environment, air, and fabrics—helping pet owners create a cleaner and more comfortable living space.

Kim Geon-il, Chairman of LG Taiwan, said, "Pets have become indispensable family members in many households, raising expectations for cleanliness, air quality, and overall comfort. LG continues to leverage innovative technologies to help consumers effectively manage daily challenges such as pet hair, odors, humidity, and laundry. From home cleaning and air management to smart fabric care, we're creating a safe and comfortable living environment where both pet owners and their furry companions can thrive, fulfilling our brand promise of 'Life’s Good.'"

Blind Spot 1: Is the floor clean if no hair is visible? Hidden hair accumulates in furniture and fabric crevices

For pet-owning households, shedding is an everyday cleaning challenge. Pet hair not only scatters across floors and furniture but also carries dust and dander, which can degrade indoor air quality when accumulated. Even with regular cleaning, surface-only efforts often miss hidden dirt in corners and gaps. Efficiently managing hair and debris at the source is crucial for maintaining a healthy home.

The LG CordZero™ A9K+ cordless wet mop vacuum features a powerful 220W suction motor and a smart inverter motor, combined with a five-stage filtration system, effectively removing dust and hair from floors, furniture, and hard-to-reach areas. To tackle hair accumulation on sofas, mattresses, and narrow gaps, it comes with multiple specialized nozzles for flexible cleaning in various spaces, helping pet owners reduce buildup at the source. It also includes a Smart Dual Spin Mop head, enabling simultaneous vacuuming and mopping—making daily cleaning faster and more efficient for a clean and comfortable pet-friendly home.

Blind Spot 2: Is cleaning the floor enough? Floating hair and air odors also matter

Many pet owners vacuum and wipe furniture daily to maintain cleanliness. However, beyond visible hair, microscopic hair, dander, and dust particles can float through the air and settle throughout the home, affecting air quality and comfort. The LG PuriCare™ 360° Air Purifier with Enhanced Pet Mode (2nd Gen) upgrades its pet-specific features to meet the needs of pet-inclusive homes. Its floor-level pet hair filtration efficiency improves by approximately 30% compared to non-pet models, and it features a replaceable pet-hair-specific filter to effectively capture loose hair and help pet owners better manage indoor air quality.

Additionally, this model includes a photocatalytic filter that enhances odor removal by 94% compared to standard filters, effectively tackling common pet-related odors. Combined with a HEPA filter and UVnano™ UV purification, it comprehensively manages airborne particles. Using the Smart Routine feature in the LG ThinQ® app, users can set the purifier to turn on automatically before arriving home, pre-cleaning the air. Remote control during absences ensures a consistently comfortable air environment for pets. Whether playing with pets or relaxing at home, users can enjoy a fresher, more comfortable living space.

Blind Spot 3: Should daily clothes and pet fabrics be washed together? Separate washing is more convenient

Beyond floors and furniture, pet bedding, blankets, and toys require regular cleaning. As human-pet cohabitation becomes commonplace, laundry needs grow more diverse. Washing human and pet items separately helps maintain hygiene, protects fabrics, and creates a safer home environment.

The LG TWINWash™ DualWash | Heat Pump Drum Washer + Mini Washer features an upper and lower independent washing system. The lower mini washer can be dedicated to cleaning pet beds and blankets, while the upper drum handles family clothing—keeping different fabric types separate for improved hygiene and garment care. This dual configuration maximizes washing efficiency and saves space, while making loading and unloading easier. The upper drum also features TurboWash360™ Rapid Wash, completing laundry in as little as 30 minutes, helping pet owners manage daily laundry more efficiently.
