Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

Most robot vacuums and mops come with an app that lets you save maps of your home, set cleaning schedules, and choose mopping modes. Certain models with dual rotating pads can also return to the dock to clean their brushes and dispose of dirty water.

If your model uses reusable pads, remove them and wash them (if safe) every few cleaning cycles to prevent bacteria buildup. Also, you should clean the tray that they sit on between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops have pads that are soaked with cleaning solution and are swept across the floor, scrubbing or brushing to remove the sticky spots and other marks. These pads should be removed, washed (if they are washable) and dried between uses to prevent the growth of bacteria and prevent them from smelling bad. Some models also have brushes on the sides and the bottom of the robot which need to be washed or rinsed after every few cleaning cycles.

The most effective 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop combos are simple to use and come with features that reduce the amount of maintenance required after cleaning. These include self-cleaning pads, docks, and automatic emptying of the trash bin. This helps keep your robot mopping again almost immediately after a cleaning. If you want your robot's sensors to be able to navigate around obstacles, clean them with a soft cloth or a cloth every few cycles. This will help get rid of dust that can block sensors and cause mistakes.

Choose a mop for your robot that is that is compatible with carpets if you have them. Most robot mops work well on hard surfaces, however those which can also vacuum or scrub floors might need to be reprogrammed to avoid carpets. Certain robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners have mapping features that can give you a live map of the room so that you can see exactly where your robot has cleaned and what areas it hasn't.

The majority of robots with apps connected to mops use sensors to move through the house and avoid obstacles, but they can also get confused or lost. To ensure that your robot's navigation and obstacle-avoidance capabilities are as efficient as they can be you should update the mopping application regularly with the latest software versions. Before you purchase a robot, we recommend creating an obstacle course at your home to test its capabilities.

Most robot mops come with two tanks, one for clean and one for dirty water. The tank that is dirty is required to be filled and empty frequently. The water tanks can be removed from the base to make it easier to clean them and rinse them with warm water and mild soap. The majority of models have drip tray that sits under the water tank that is dirty to catch any spilled liquid. It is recommended that you empty your drip tray every cleaning cycle to prevent bacteria from developing.

Cleaning the Water Tank

The majority of robot mops, vacuum/mop combination and robot mops have an water reservoir to clean. Most manufacturers recommend cleaning this tank on a regular basis depending on how frequently you use your robot cleaner with mop. This is crucial for bots that you want last for a long time. Some brands, like the top picks in our ratings are washable, removable tanks, allowing you to wash off the soiled water and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.

Most of the mop-vacs we tested come with an app that allows you to save maps of your home and create cleaning schedules, or choose different cleaning options. This is an important feature to look out for when choosing a robot cleaner. It makes the process of setting it up and operating it much easier. If your choice doesn't have an app, you can still manage the basic functions of the robot by pressing the dock or via its remote.

The latest models we've tested have the ability to clean dust and dirt on multiple surfaces. This is an enormous improvement over the earlier versions of robot cleaners, that mostly passed a pad of water across the floor. However, these machines are not designed to handle huge spills, which have to be cleaned by hand. They also can't handle furniture and can get confused in rooms with lots of clutter on the floor, so be sure to straighten up the area prior to mopping it to ensure the machine can move around it efficiently.

Some newer bots have brushes on the sides and bottom that can be cleaned and removed, so be sure to follow the instructions of the manufacturer on how to do this (typically using use a damp microfiber cloth). The majority of bots also have sensors that assist them in navigating floors and avoid obstacles. To keep these sensors working well, it's a good idea to clean the sensors every few cleaning cycles with a soft clean cloth, particularly the areas where the sensors are press-fit against the floor.

Although it is possible to add other cleaners (such as vinegar) to the tank of the robot We do not recommend it unless it has been approved by the manufacturer. This could cause damage to the robot and may void its warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your robot mop and vacuum comes with a dock that doubles as a water tank, it will have to be cleaned periodically. The dock can collect dirt, grit and debris that must be cleaned out and removed once the mop has finished. A majority of our choices have a self-cleaning cycle which you can control with the app or on the mop itself. This keeps the tank in good condition and helps prevent mildew.

The area of the dock which washes the pads needs to be washed periodically -it can become slimy or even smell bad if left wet for a long time. If your model comes with disposable or washable mop pads, be sure to wash them in accordance with manufacturer's instructions in between cleaning cycles. The same is true for hybrid mop/vacuum models that have brushes on the bottom and sides of the unit. Remove the brushes and clean them with a rag or cloth after each cleaning cycle.

Some of the most advanced robot vacuum-mop combos we've tested include sensors that help them navigate floors and avoid obstacles, but it's still important to wipe down those sensor areas on a regular basis. This can keep dust and grime from blocking the sensors and causing misjudgment.

While most robot vacuums and mop systems require some work however, they're a great alternative for busy homeowners. They will keep floors looking beautiful and eliminate the necessity for heavy lifting, and give you the most valuable resource you have in a home -your time.

While there are startups that are working to build better best robot vacuum cleaner and mop vacuum-mop units however, they still have a long way to go before they can reach our level of quality. We expect these robots will improve over time, just as all the previous robot vacuums have.

Brushes to be cleaned

Maintaining your robot's vacuum and mop is crucial, just like maintaining the vacuum cleaner. Clean sensors to aid in navigation clean and empty the water tank, clean pet hair clogs that block brushes and charge ports, clean the ports and replace the filter and rollers as recommended by the manufacturer. These suggestions will help your robot vacuum and mop combination perform efficiently for longer.

Carolyn Forte, Executive Director of the Good Housekeeping Institute Home Care & Cleaning Lab reviews and tests cleaning devices in the Laboratory. This includes robot vacuum and mop combinations. Her team has been testing and suggesting products for more than 40 years.

Combinations of robot vacuums and mops are perfect to clean dry debris (dust and dirt) and wet messes. (spills and staining) without changing machines. These multitaskers can help you save time and energy and are convenient for anyone who lives a full schedule.

Certain robots require an app to function and have more features than others, like the map this model made of our obstacle course which is one of the main selling points. You can also use the app to schedule and alter cleaning sessions, change mopping modes and check the level of battery. Some models offer voice activation for hands-free operation like the model that is compatible with Alexa.

If you are considering purchasing a robot vacuum and mop combination make sure you choose models that have the features that are important to you. While all models pass a pad with water across floors, some include a scrubber that can be used to clean grout, or rotating brushes to provide more intensive scrubbing. Some have a filter which can be cleaned or replaced to reduce odors.

Some mopping machines dispose of their dirty pads and place them into a base which automatically discharges into a waste bin, eliminating the need to manually wash the pads or refill the tank. Certain mopping machines, like the Noesis Florio have reusable pads which can be washed and dried in between uses. If you choose one with pads that can be reused, make sure to follow the instructions of the manufacturer on how to wash and dry them.
