Floor cleaning has had a bit of a glow-up over the past few years. What used to be a chore involving a manky mop and a bucket of murky water has turned into a proper category in itself, with cordless wet/dry vacuums from the likes of Shark, Bissell and Tineco trying to make scrubbing the kitchen floors feel almost futuristic.
Dyson, of course, wasn’t going to leave them to it. The brand has already had a crack at the wet/dry vacuum world with its Submarine attachment and the Wash G1, but its latest effort takes a different approach entirely. The new PencilWash is essentially a super-slim electric mop that ditches suction altogether in favour of a self-propelling soft roller, water dispensing along eight points, and a squeegee that scrapes dirty water back into a tank.
