Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

The majority of robot vacuums or mop cleaners have an app that allows you to save your home's maps as well as organize cleaning schedules, and choose mopping mode. Some models with dual rotating pads can also return to the dock to clean their brushes and dispose of dirty water.

If your model is using pads that are reusable, take them off and wash them (if safe) each time you clean them to prevent bacteria buildup. Also, you'll want to clean the resting tray that they are sitting on between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops use pads that contain a cleaning solution that are pushed across the floor to soften the marks and sticky spots using scrubbing motions or a brush. These pads should be removed, washed (if they are washable) and dried between uses to prevent the buildup of bacteria and keep them from smelling unpleasant. Some models have brushes on the sides and bottom of the robot. These brushes also require to be cleaned, rinsed or replaced every couple of cleaning cycles.

The most efficient 2-in-1 robot vacuum/mop combination is easy to use and comes with features that reduce the amount of maintenance needed after cleaning. These include self-cleaning pads, docks, and automatic emptying of the dustbin. This helps keep your robot mopping immediately after cleaning. If you want your robot's sensors to to navigate around obstacles, clean them with a soft towel or a cloth every few cycles. This will help get rid of dust that can hinder sensors and cause errors.

Choose a mop that is compatible with carpets if you have them. Robotic mops that are able to vacuum or scrub floors need to be reprogrammed so they can avoid carpets. Some robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners have mapping capabilities. This lets you observe the areas the robot has cleaned and also those it has not.

The majority of app-connected robot mop mops utilize sensors to guide them around the home and steer clear of obstacles, but they may sometimes get lost or confused. To ensure that your robot's navigation and obstacle-avoidance capabilities are as good as possible, update the mopping app regularly with the latest software versions. Before you purchase a robot, we suggest creating an obstacle course at your home to check its performance.

Most robot mops come with two tanks. One for clean water and the other for dirty water. The dirty water tank has to be emptied and filled frequently. The water tanks can be easily removed from the base to make it easier to clean them and rinse them with warm water and mild soap. Most models come with a drip tray under the dirty tank to collect any liquid that spills. It is recommended to empty the drip tray at the end of every cleaning cycle to lower the chance of bacterial growth.

Cleaning the Water Tank

The majority of robot mops and vacuum/mop combination devices use a tank of water to wash. The majority of manufacturers recommend cleaning the tank regularly, dependent on how often you use your robot. This is crucial to ensure that your bots to last for many years. Certain brands, including the top choices in our ratings are washable, removable tanks so you can remove the water that is dirty and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.

Most of the mop-vacs we tested come with an app which lets you save your home's maps and set up cleaning schedules, or choose cleaning modes. This is an important feature to consider when choosing a robot hoover and mop cleaner. It makes setting it up and using it a lot easier. If the robot you choose does not come with an app, it is still possible to control the fundamental functions of the bot using the remote or button.

All the newer models that we've tested have the ability to clean dust and dirt on multiple surfaces. This is a huge improvement over previous versions of robot cleaners that mostly passed water pads across the floor. They aren't made to handle large spills. They need to be cleaned manually. They can't move furniture and could get lost in rooms with lots of clutter.

Follow the instructions of the manufacturer to wash and remove the brushes that are located on the sides or bottom of certain newer bots (typically a damp microfiber towel). Sensors are also used by most bots to navigate the floor and avoid obstacles. To ensure that these sensors are working well, it's helpful to wipe down the sensors every couple of cleaning cycles with a soft clean cloth, especially those areas where the sensors are pressed against the floor.

Additionally, although it is possible to add other cleaners into the robot's tank (for example vinegar, for example) We do not recommend doing so unless the manufacturer suggests it. This could cause damage to your robot and void the warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your mop and robot vacuum combination has docks that double as water tank, then you will need to clean it periodically. The dock can collect dust, grit and other debris and needs to be removed and cleaned after the mop has been cleaned. A lot of our picks come with a self-cleaning cycle which you can control with the app or on the mop itself. This helps keep the tank clean and helps prevent mildew.

The dock's area that is used to wash the pads needs to be washed from time to time -- it can get slimy or smell bad when left wet for too long. If your model has disposable or washable mop pads make sure you are washing them according to the instructions of the manufacturer between cleaning cycles. Hybrid mop/vacuum units that have brushes on the sides and bottom are also affected. Take the brushes out and clean them with a cloth or rag after each cleaning cycle.

It is essential to clean the sensor areas of some of the most advanced robot mop-vacuum combos that we've test. They are equipped with sensors that aid in navigating floors and keep out obstructions. This will stop dirt and grime from blocking the sensors, causing them make faulty judgements.

While many robot vacuum with mop mops and vacuum units require a bit of work on every day basis, they provide huge benefits for the busy homeowner. They will keep floors looking beautiful and eliminate the need for heavy lifting, and save you the most valuable resource of a home -- your free time.

There are a few companies that are trying to create better autonomous vacuum-mop robotics but they're a long way from our level of quality. We expect these machines to improve over time, just like all the previous robot vacuums have.

Cleaning the Brushes

Maintaining your robot vacuum and mop's mop and vacuum is essential, just as maintaining your vacuum cleaner. Wipe down the sensors to enhance navigation. Empty and wash the water tanks, take out hairs from the brushes Clean the charge ports and change the rollers and filter according to the instructions of the manufacturer. These suggestions will help your robot vacuum and mop combo work efficiently for an extended period of time.

Carolyn Forte, Executive Director of the Good Housekeeping Institute Home Care & Cleaning Lab is responsible for evaluating and tests cleaning equipment in the Laboratory. This includes robot vacuum-mop combinations. Her team has been testing and suggesting them for over forty years.

Combinations of mop and robot vacuum are ideal for dealing with dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet messes (spills or staining) all in one cleaning session without switching machines. Multitaskers can save you time and effort and are a great choice for those with a hectic schedule.

Some robots are controlled by an app and include additional features. For instance this model features a map of our obstacle course, which is a major selling feature. You can also schedule and alter cleaning sessions using the app, alter mopping mode, and check battery level. Other models include voice activation, like this model that integrates with Alexa, for hands-free control.

If you are in the market for a robot mop or vacuum, ensure that it has the features you are looking for. While all models pass a pad with water over floors, some have a scrubber that can be used to clean grout, or an inclined brush roll to provide more intensive scrubs. Some models have filters that can be cleaned or replaced to eliminate the odor.

Some mopping robots drop their dirty pads onto an empty base that automatically dumps them into a trash bin, removing the need to manually clean the pads or refill the tank. Other models, such as the Noesis Florio, have reusable pads that can be washed and dry between use. If you opt for one with reusable pads, make sure you read the manufacturer's instructions about drying and washing them to keep them looking their best.
